- 03/25/23 12:47 AM
Need a house now but higher interest rates got you down? Maybe a 2/1 buydown credit from the seller can help you.
A 2-1 buydown is a type of financing that lowers the interest rate on a mortgage for the first two years before it rises to the regular, permanent rate. The rate is typically two percentage points lower during the first year and one percentage point lower in the second year.
How do I get the 2/1 buydown. When its time to write an offer on a house, your agent will ask the seller to provide a credit out of the … (3 comments)

In response to Junes Active Rain challenge "Ole Glory coast to coast" I am posting a flag from a friends home we sold last year in Priest River Idaho. Thank you Wendy and Adam, you are thought of often.

idaho: How's my driving? 1-800-MadMoose Road Rage in Idaho
- 12/20/21 12:24 AM
Driving in a rural area is quite different than driving in a metropolitan area. I think over the last two decade I have heard a car horn 5 times and most were from a driver tapping out a greeting to a friend. Many times I have been amazed by the lack of banged up cars on the roads. You turn on a turn signal to change lanes and the car in that lane lets you over. During inclement weather people slow down and use common sense. Common road obstructions include flocks of turkeys, deer, elk herds and moose. With the recent … (8 comments)

Christmas season is starting, what a magical time of the year. The comforting presence of evergreen life and brightly colored ornaments offer hope to us during the cold winter.
Those special ornaments often hold reminders of our life’s milestones and memories. They remind us of the good times we shared with family and friends. They may also remind of us the bad times we were at a low time in life all to show that we survived and went on. Sometimes they are a final memory of someone we lost or the remembrance of when our children were growing up. They may … (8 comments)

idaho: Can you think outside the box?
- 03/09/20 11:09 PM
Think outside the box.
You have heard the phrase “think outside the box”; This metaphor means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new and fresh perspective. I love thinking outside the box. In real estate sometimes creative solutions are the only way to bring our clients to a successful end. Sometimes the most impossible scenarios are easily made possible with a little creativity.
The phrase was used heavily in the business world since the 70’s to inspire creative thinking. If you think about it most great accomplishments, innovations and inventions would have never come to pass without new and creative “outside-the-box” … (19 comments)

idaho: North Idaho wild life Eagles on Lake Pend Oreille
- 09/08/16 01:52 PM
Here in the beautifully forested panhandle of Idaho, we are fortunate to host a great variety of wildlife. It is common to see whitetail deer, elk and moose here, as well as foxes, raccoons, and cute little red squirrels. Less often you might catch a glimpse of a bear or two, or even a cougar, and hear coyotes howling on some nights. Idaho is also home to an abundance of waterfowl and other birds, including several species of raptors. My favorite of them all, by far, is the majestic bald eagle, symbol of our national pride.
Eagles, as birds of prey, are … (1 comments)
