“Build A Lot” in Garden Valley
September 27th, 2008 Categories: "Build A Lot", Garden Valley Buyers, Garden Valley Real Estate
A House Is Not A Home…..
Until the front door is painted. Welcome to”Build A Lot” Home Sweet Home.
The siding is now on and painted. The front door looks fun and inviting. The walls are textured and painted. Shelving is starting to go up in the closets and the trim work is taking shape.
Although the daytime weather is warm and sunny, there is a nip in the evening air. Winter will surely be here before we know it. But these “Build A Lot” folks aren’t worried. They will be moving into their brand new, cozy, beautiful home, enjoying their 360 degree view, well before the first snow shovel is sold at Marsha’s Trading Post.
Visit me next week as “Build A Lot” follows the construction of a home in Garden Valley, a new way of life for one happy family.

What better time to visit Garden Valley, Idaho than winter, spring, summer and especially fall. The air is cool and crisp, the leaves are turning and their is lots of fun planned for this weekend.

Southfork Landing plans a fun day with an Oktoberfest. There will be live music, a kids carnival, beer keg races, beer sampling and a dutch oven cooking competition. Visit the Southfork Landing web site for more details.
While in town, take notice that the new K - 12 School is well under way. The ground breaking for the new grocery store was two weeks ago and the dirt is moving. Notice the new businesses and new homes under construction.
It’s true! I’m biased. I don’t think there could be a better place to call home. See you Saturday.

“Build A Lot” Taking Shape
September 13th, 2008 Categories: "Build A Lot", Garden Valley Buyers, Garden Valley Real Estate
Rooms Come Together as Sheet Rock Goes Up
Garden Valley “Build A Lot” home is really taking shape. The insulation is in and the sheet rock is installed. I stopped by to watch the sheetrockers at work. These guys were really moving. I don’t know how long it took them to do the job. I’ll bet it was less than two days.
It’s so much fun to see the rooms start to take shape. The floor plan is very charming and inviting, while still offering great functionality.
The siding is on site and has started going up.
WOW! I’m impressed.
The foundation for the second “Build A Lot” home is completed. This one took a little
longer to get started due to the slope of the lot. This is going to be a wonderful location. Check out the pictures from this site. Truly, you do not have to pay a million dollars to get a million dollar view in Garden Valley.
Expect the lumber to show up, and framing to get started, on this one next week.
Get your “Build A Lot” site now. Remember, “He who hesitates is lost”. Interest rates are down to their lowest rates in months. Land sellers are motivated. The media, rather than being all gloom and doom, is now adding a mix of good news to their reporting. Does this mean we are at the bottom? I think we’ll start to see things pick up soon, especially in Garden Valley. The weather is cooling. The leaves are turning. It’s a beautiful time to visit Garden Valley.

Central District Health Rate Hike for Garden Valley
September 6th, 2008 Categories: Garden Valley Buyers, Garden Valley Real Estate, Garden Valley Sellers
Septic System Applications Get More Precious
On Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008, the Central District Health Department raised septic permit application fees to $582.00. Fees to renew existing permits or transfer existing permits to another name are now $95.00
According to Tyler Fortunati, fees in our area are still well below those charged for the same services in other parts of the state. He predicts that fees will continue to rise annually.
Tyler also predicts that future renewal policies may change. The current policy allows septic permit holders to renew their permits, annually, until the septic system is installed and final inspection is completed. There is no limit to the number of times a permit holder can renew. The Department is considering limiting the number of allowed renewals. Tyler says the policy change is under discussion, at the Department. He could not say when a policy change might take place.
