boise: Boise River Greenbelt - Another Reason to Love Living in Idaho
- 09/03/10 11:50 AM
BEAUTY ABOUNDS IN BOISE... One of the most impressive things about our beautiful city is the vast trail that links our public parks system called the "Boise River Greenbelt." It follows both the North and South banks of the Boise River for nearly 35 miles - beginning at Lucky Peak Reservoir and heads East past the Western Idaho Fairgrounds and now down into Eagle. People of all ages enjoy biking, walking and jogging along some of the most peaceful scenery this area has to offer. Without some wonderful visionaries in the early 1960's the greenbelt may never have come to fruition. In … (2 comments)
boise: State of Union ~ Stabilizing the Housing Market
- 08/30/10 10:48 AM
I just read the Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that the administration would "do everything we can" to stabilize the U.S. housing market. So what does "everything we can" look like? Donovan said that the Federal Housing Administration will launch an emergency loan program to help unemployed borrowers stay in their homes and a program to help underwater borrowers refinance. This is great news and I'll be interested to see these "new" programs unfold. However, it's my belief that the administration must do a better job of addressing the un/under-employment situation. As long as people are worried … (1 comments)

boise: Is Staging Your Home Now A Waste Of Money?
- 12/27/09 04:07 PM
Many home owners are refusing to put money into preparing their home for sale in this market. They believe staging is like throwing money down the drain since home values have fallen and we're in the midst of a "buyers' market". Some may feel it's useless to try and compete with short sales and bank owned properties. So, they throw their hands up and say "just list it and we'll see how it goes". My response is always the same..."you can't afford NOT to showcase your home - ESPECIALLY in this market." Staging is not about fluffing up the towels and throwing some … (8 comments)
