What has been happening in the Idaho Real Estate market?

Being in the middle of 2010 for the Idaho real estate industry is still quite an uphill road to run. With foreclosures and short sales being a large portion of our market, it is difficult for sellers who bought at higher prices, but an incredible opportunity for buyers!
