Ketchum Wagon Days

Sun Valley Resort Realty — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:27:56 -0500

Ketchum's largest Summer Festival is already underway and you won't want to miss this year! The antique vendors have set up all over town and there are food stalls and events on the calendar every day leading up to the Big Hitch Parade on Saturday at 1:00. The antique fairs will continue into Sunday so that should leave plenty of time to shop for a little Real Estate while you are shopping for the furniture to go in it :)

The weather couldn't be more spectacular and I invite you to take advantage of the numerous hiking trails, the bike path and the fishing opportunities...You won't be disappointed.

Many restaurants are serving "Al Fresco" at this time of year and the nights may be cool so bring a wrap if you think you will be dining into the night.

Investigate Water Rights for your Seller or Buyer

Sun Valley Resort Realty — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:46:33 -0500

I attended a General membership meeting for the Sawtooth Board of Realtors this morning. Among the many topics covered was the ongoing process of Water Right Adjudication in the State of Idaho; more specifically in the Snake River basin. None of us really knows how all these water rights will, ultimately, be effected by the adjudication, but the lesson of the day that I took home was:
As a Real Estate broker representing either a buyer or a seller, perhaps more importantly, a seller...this detail is just one more piece of discovery and disclosure that our clients will be expecting us to deal with. I'ts not enough to assume that one's water right is good. From an Agent liability standpoint and for the benefit of buyer or seller, We're going to have to be more diligent in researching and documenting any water right that runs with a piece of property. That might be as easy as requesting the documents from your seller but might be as daunting as engaging the owner of the right in the process with the State Department of Water Resources of proving the condition of the water right.
I't an easy phone call to the Department of Water Resources in Twin Falls to investigate what they have on file for your seller or buyer. 208-736-3033

"Beige Book" Report

Sun Valley Resort Realty — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:17:52 -0500

There is so much information out there about the economy and the Federal Reserve and how the two relate to eachother. I found this "Beige Book" report to be very easy to understand, not so heavy with the numbers and formulas. It is interesting to me to know that this sort of information is one of the components the Fed considers when they are raising or lowering rates. Click the link to see the Beige Book report.
