GOOGLE Fight********
If you have never checked out "googlefight.com" it's kind of fun & be careful, it becomes addictive too! Just check out www.googlefight.com and type in anything vs. anything & it will show you the number of associated items on the WWW for each. For instance: Ford vs. Chevrolet, or REMAX vs. Coldwell Banker. It's more or less a popularity contest, but it's kind of fun when you type in things like "my dad vs. your dad".
Just a little fun research. I hope you enjoy! Whenever you know of anyone looking to buy or sell Idaho Real Estate, please send them my way www.sellidaho.com. You can search the entire MLS for the Boise, Nampa & surrounding areas in Idaho.
Thanks & God Bless!

.....Taking the High Road.....
In 2002, I was president of our local Association. The first leadership meeting with my board, I presented the following challenge & theme. I have had so many people in these past 7 years come up & tell me how valuable that was and thanked me for my example. I hope this will mean as much to you as it did to hundreds of our members:

I guess blogging is a little bit about tooting your own horn (on occasion).... There is a Real Estate Networking site that is primarily used by the real estate industry, however there are lots of good articles and information for the buying and selling public as well... www.activerain.com

Strong Economic Indicators for Idaho Real Estate
- Net in-migration - Ranked 4th Nationally
- Low Unemployment
- Strong Commercial Markets
- Healthy Consumer Spending
- Low Interest Rates
- Readjusted Rates for FHA Loans
- Removal of the Subprime Market
To what extent is Idaho in a real estate slump and what impact is that having on our economy?
- Demand pushed undervalued prices up (from 2002 to 2005)
- Led to a boom in sales (peak in 2005)
- Overbuilding and speculation led to excess inventories in two largest markets.
- It will take time to draw inventory levels down.
- Moving from a boom to a more stable market.
- Housing prices will continue to see long term gains.
This information is provided by the Idaho Association of Realtors in cooperation with the National Association of Realtors. These questions and more, were presented from our Idaho Legislature and the Idaho Real Estate market was presented by John Eaton, our Government Affairs Director for IAR.
Overall, 2008 looks to have some great opportunities for buyer investors and anyone looking for a home. There are some great buys out there on Idaho Real Estate, especially in the Nampa and Boise real estate markets!

Suggested Reading for 2008
Idaho has awesome scenery to just sit back, relax and view while reading a book.
New Year's Day brings a time of relaxation and I have found the time to finish reading a great little book as I was waking up this morning. I don't do too many book reports, but I thought I would share this infomation and hopefully inspire someone to read more this year. Reading is always best on Idaho Real Estate or at least viewing Idaho Real Estate... Even if it's the foothills of Boise real estate or the waters of Lucky Peak Reservoir, I'm thankful for the beauty God has filled this great area with! Take time to enjoy and take time to read:
"The Angel Inside" written by Chris Widener
This is a quick, easy read! A friend of mine in the Seattle area gave this to me on my last visit. He didn't say much about the book, but just handed me a copy.
I started reading it a month or so ago & I just finished it this morning. Short & powerful, this book talks about creating a Life of Power and Beaty and following your passion, after determining what it is; to set fear aside and ask some basic, simple questions of yourself.
It's all of 111 pages; most could probably read it in a couple hours or less.
I hope you take the time to check this book out. I would love to hear back from you. Happy New Year from sellidaho.com
Always looking out for yoru next move on Idaho Real Estate in the Boise Real Estate Market,
