Need help? The home you want for sale in Driggs Victor and Tetonia Idaho is out there. I asked a fellow Realtor if he knew of anything available to purchase that was currently not in the M.L.S. and explained what my buyer was looking for. "Wait till something that interests your buyer comes onto the M.L.S." was his answer. Then he said he did not like it when buyers looked outside the M.L.S. for homes to purchase.

To qualify for the move-up tax credit, a home owner must have occupied the same principal residence for five of the last eight years consecutively. Buyers can elect to claim the credit on either their 2009 or their 2010 tax return, whichever is best for them.

home: How do YOU want to be Remembered when the Dust Settles, Invest Responsibly
- 01/16/10 12:50 AM
Invest Wisely, Invest Responsibly. People will remember how you acted. Just a thought, there is a big difference between someone that wants value in their purchase and someone that wants to "steal" a home or property for profit. Have some regard for others. I made a living investing in real estate this last decade and built a reputation on win-win deals that worked for all parties. Someday, hopefully soon our real estate market will recover. How do you want to be remembered when the dust settles. Shark, or "Pillar of Society"? Sure we want to make money, but at what cost? … (3 comments)
home: Teton Valley Idaho: Driggs, Victor and Tetonia Homes for sale
- 01/13/10 03:01 PM
Homes for sale, time to take advantage of the great deals in Teton Valley Idaho, Driggs, Victor, Tetonia and Teton County. Three and a half months left to take advantage of the tax credits to purchase homes. If you arrange financing ahead of time it is possible to close a property in 45 (best case, 20+/-) days. That leaves roughly 60 days to find the house that fits your needs, negotiate the contract and make a deal.
As bank foreclosures have slowed and short sales are fewer in the market we have need for some homes to present to our buyers.
