Boise Real Estate Map Search

Here is my latest news update for my website. The real estate mapping search is a phenomenal tool for your home search.

Technology never stops in the effort to make your life easier. Using the real estate map search enables the surfer to locate a property or home for sale just by using your mouse. Locate the area you wish to live and zoom in to see the current listings on the map. These listings are updated every 24 hours and you will see only active and available properties.

Simply mouse over the house icon and a pop-up will show with a short introduction with a picture. This pop-up allows you to see the sales price, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms and square footage. It will also give the asking price and mls number. If you click on the Birdseye view it will show the areal view of virtual earth. You can then
go back to street level. This view will also give you a list of surrounding homes for sale.

Clicking on the view details link will move to a new screen with complete property descriptions and a slideshow virtual tour. Other interesting information is the links for neighborhood and school data, crime and demographic info such as education and general employment statistics for the area.

You may of course sign up on this page to save searches and create your portfolio. You will not be contacted except for an auto reply email from our system. When you locate the property you wish to view, use the request more info or schedule a showing links.

Happy home searching.

Moving your way to Idaho!

“I am thinking about relocating to Idaho and I would like you to show me what Boise has to offer!” This conversation occurs on a regular basis between me and potential clients.

We are not different than any other parts of the United States with our economy. Suffering the same ups and downs of the new way to do business. We have job losses and gasoline is high but coming down. Our real estate market is probably as low as it is going to get with plenty of great values.

What we offer that is different from other parts of the country, is the small town feeling along with the freedom to venture out in the open areas of mountains and recreation areas. To visit these areas you only need to venture out in most cases less than an hour. If you would like more information on Idaho relocation, or have other questions, just click the link above. I would be happy to send you a relocation packet.

If you are reading all of the news and listening to TV, it is like gloom and doom to buy a home.. This may not be the case. Remember that purchasing real estate and buying a home is all local. Don’t use the online mortgage companies, in stead call your local realtor and use some of the local banks and mortgage companies. Money is still available and they will work with you if you have any credit issues. Use local when buying your home.

What Now!

After an initial and shocking failure, elected representatives spent most of the week scurrying to come up with a "better" version of Treasury Secretary Paulson's plan to use up to $700 billion in taxpayer funds to buy up bad mortgage and financial assets. In the end, the tab could run as high as $810 billion, with hopes that some of the assets can be resold back into the market for a profit. Of course, this assumes there will still be a market for them -- or any market at all -- when it's time to sell them
