My, funny how the news media goes crazy when the almighty Case Schiller index takes a drop, but is virtually silent when it rises. Looks like that is the case this past month when the "gold standard" index came out and it shows 19 out of 20 cities it tracks showing an increase.

Thanks to Guild Mortgage for this one....

"Story Behind G-Fees"
The good news is the payroll tax cut was extended in December of last year. So people who earned up to $106,800 kept their 2% tax reduction. Nothing wrong so far. But exactly how is the government going to pay for it? That’s the bad news.

Steven – What is really going on in the Boise Market? One person I talk to says “it’s good” and the next one I talk to says “it’s horrible”. What do you see as reality? Don K. Eagle

Wow...I took some Buyers out today to look at entry-level homes. It is a price range I have not worked in for about six weeks.
One Question....What Has Happened to the Inventory Level? It's so incredible low it's not even fun to show property. The Buyer's are like "that's it?"

Listen to the National News with reservation. Boise is not in the S&P Case/Shiller Index. (The closest city is Portland, OR.) Buyers here will tell you the market is “frustrating”, as the Best Homes are often snatched up in a matter of days (many by out-of-state and All-Cash Buyers).
We help Buyers find the top Bank-Owned and Short-Sale deals in the Treasure Valley. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, contact us to have a personalized search created.
