I just love every time a new “Best Places to Live” report is published, Boise scores high marks every time. Here is the lastest report – Click Here.

Also, last week Moody’s named us to be one of the first five states to come out of the recession, great news!

Our local real estate market has seen our sales increase and prices start to level, first step to recovery.

Right now is an awesome time to buy a home, here are just a few reasons:

1. Prices are low

2. Interest rates are low (but starting to creep up)

3. First time homebuyer incentive of $8,000 (but you have to close by 12/01/09)
