buying a home: Turning Back the Clock on The Older Home - Part I - 04/15/08 04:05 PM
The clock starts running on a new home when the Mountain Home, Idaho Building Department signs the building permit. Advances in building science and changing economic conditions work together to cause our homes to rapidly become something less than "state of the art" and worth less than the "next new thing".

After running my weekly analysis of what's going on in the Mountain Home, Idaho real estate market, I'm now of the suspicion (and working towards the conclusion) that new home prices may have finally reached the point where local builders are drafting new game plans. In 2007, for the first time (1 comments)

There's no two ways about it - new homes are breathtakingly expensive and it's only natural to cut costs where you can.

Almost all home buyers in the Mountain Home area now require a home inspection as a condition of sale.
