Have Fun At the Fair! 2011 Western Idaho Fair.

The Western Idaho Fair held at Expo Idaho is one of a few Fairs in the Pacific Northwest that can boast about conducting an annual event in three different centuries!

 Starting with the first Idaho Fair in 1897 and this, the 114th in 2011, the Western Idaho Fair at Expo Idaho still focuses on agriculture and family fun.

  You can expect to see the finest Idaho livestock and competitive exhibits of any State Fair in the Pacific Northwest.

  The Western Idaho State Fair livestock and competitive exhibit space fills up each year and this year will be no exception.

  The Simplot Ag Pavilion, produced by the Food Producers of Idaho, is the envy of every State Fair in the country.

New Word Real Estate

Headlines all over the country read the housing market is flat lined and moving in a direction that no one has seen before.  It not only is occurring in the single family residential sales market, but is also widespread in investment and commercial holdings.  
 

Being a Realtor in today’s world is having to wear many hats and you are expected to know the answers to questions that even the country’s best minds can’t figure out.  Friends and clients ask on a daily basis what I think the market will do in the next year.  My answer is the same that I give to myself.  I have no idea!  It may sound ignorant, but I can’t predict everything that affects house sales. 

Many Realtors have left the profession and joined the world of other aspirations.  I know that our market is not going to be like the market of the mid 2000s era.  We are still going to have bank repossessions and buyers will still get a good buy probably for a few years to come.  Short sales will be around for a little while and then they will have to be given only in dire conditions after the mess is cleaned up.  We hopefully will never go back to the market of poor judgment!

Buying Better Times

I know I am not the only one that has seen the television ads for buying your way into prosperity.  Just watch at dinner time or almost all times during the day.  Get your degree or certification.  Now I ask you, how many veterinary assistant jobs are available in the market?  What about massage positions. 

I know that during the rough times you must make every effort to maximize your time and efforts.  What do you have when you get out of these “College” programs?  Sometimes certification, other times nothing. 

You can always watch the times change by what is being advertised on TV.  The biggest recipients of the hard times are the television and radio stations.  Buy gold, call one number to sue all, not happy?  Sue someone.  Everyone is trying to separate you from what is left of your money.  Just remember, it shouldn’t cost you your life savings to work.

Lack of Class and Dignity!

Our new political climate is showing through with both sides showing us the high school posturing and muscle flexing that I thought was gone.  Watching the TV tabloids in the morning shows what a complete lack of respect they have for the American People.

It used to be that you would look up to the congress and senate, now it is the source of bickering and back stabbing along with calling names.  Our nation is all in shock as we watch the idiotic ways that the people we elected handle a crisis. 

The bad news is that these men and women have damaged our society to a point that it isn’t going to take genius to bring us back up; they have destroyed our ability to comprehend the real problems facing us in this crisis. The good news is all we have is the bottom of the barrel representation, with nowhere to go but up!
