How to find your next Idaho Real Estate bargain
Idaho real estate prices seem to be falling almost monthly. Whenever I am asked to do a search in any price range I find that now as many as 7 out of 10 homes I show are either Idaho foreclosures or Idaho short sales. In the peak year of 2005 it was almost unheard of in the Treasure Valley area of Southwest Idaho for homes to be priced less than $100/ft. and many quality homes were well over $100/ft. To calculate the price per square foot simply take the asking price of a home and divide it by the square footage of that home.
Fast forward to 2008 and we are now seeing many foreclosure homes and even some short sale listings that are priced in some cases as low as $65/ft. which has not been seen since the 1980s! When I first saw homes hitting the mid $60/ft. range I was in shock and could hardly believe what I was seeing.
So how do you find these Idaho home bargains? I have a system that allows me to input everything you are looking for in a home. In addition to many search criteria I can also program my system to search only homes priced from say from $60/ft. to $80/ft. I can then set my system up to have every listing that meets your criteria automatically emailed to you the moment that new listing hits the market.
When I say every new listing I mean just that. I am a member of the MLS or "Multiple Listing Service" and I have access to every Idaho real estate listing that every member office submits to the MLS system. As soon as a member Realtor from any office in the valley lists a home meeting your criteria you will be sent an email with that new listing attached.
What does this service cost? The good news is that this service is totally FREE! Yes, there is no cost to you for me to set you up with this service and the service can be cancelled at any time. This service has helped many, many buyers find great bargains in today's Idaho real estate market.
You can do your own search at any time by going to Idaho real estate search or you can email me at george@tallabas.com or call me at 208-880-2333 and ask me to get started looking for your next Idaho real estate bargain.
