The good news is that single family home sales in Post Falls in the last 12 months are up 10% over the previous 12 months. The average sales price is up 6% over the previous time frame. Coeur d’Alene and Hayden are about the same. Our rural areas in the county have yet to show this positive result. The interesting fact in the data is that Foreclosures “REO’S” have dropped overall in our area 13% in the last 12 months. Now that is being offset by the increase in short sales. … (0 comments)

post falls: In the past 12 months 45 condo’s have sold in Coeur d’Alene
- 11/12/12 05:53 AM
In the past 12 months 45 condo’s have sold in Coeur d’Alene between $200,000 and $1,400,000. Currently in the same price range we have 34 condo’s actively for sale. The good news is not one of the 34 condo’s for sale is a short sale or a foreclosure. If you think that you are in the market for a condo now would be a fabulous time to buy as interest rates are still at all time lows. I am starting to see a slight trend in prices moving up. Will advise on the price movement after watching the market for a … (0 comments)

Well I know everyone is saying this but I just had to jump on the bandwagon too. Do not forget to go out and vote tomorrow.

Out here in the Pacific Northwest our weather looks to be very good tomorrow so go enjoy some beautiful fall weather here in Post Falls, Idaho and vote! Patsy Barten provides a level … (0 comments)

- 10/01/12 03:24 AM
Do you have a child or grandchild that has difficulty learning? Many children have difficulties with reading, writing, spelling, math, attention, and memory. All children want to be successful in school yet they struggle despite parent-teacher interventions or private tutoring. Thanks to current research in the fields of neuropsychology, major steps forward have been made in understanding potential causes of several learning disabilities. As a parent/grandmother it is so hard to watch as a child struggles to learn and you try to do the right thing and help, but sometimes that is not enough.
