Castle Mountain Creeks Real Estate Market Update
As is normally the case, the number of folks looking for property in Garden Valley, has risen during the summer months. Unlike past years, most buying prospects tend to be looking in the lower price ranges. Most of them seem to be immune to the financing availability woes, have good credit, money for a down payment but they seem to be dragging their feet. Everyone, both Buyers and Sellers, are waiting for some sign that we have hit the bottom of the market.
We are beginning to see some price adjustments. Inventory levels continue to rise. The selection of land and homes is extremely good. A little good news on the economic front will boost confidence and encourage Buyers to act.
Garden Valley Year To Date Sales, compared to the same period in 2007, are down 7.4%. Number of days on the market has increased by 30%.
Barney says”Let’s put some pep into this market”

Lower Utility Bills with Geothermal Heat
As usual I like to wrap up the week with one of your favorite listings. This home, in Garden Valley, offers a unique combination of stylish craftsman construction, natural hot water, over 3 acres of horse pasture, some of the best Garden Valley views, and a private location.
Many folks are unaware that there are several pockets of private land, in Garden Valley, were natural hot water can be found. This property has it’s own hot water well. The well water is used to heat the home, fill the whimsical, cattle trough hot tub, and irrigate the pasture. Watch your heating bills dive when you can enjoy the many advantages of geothermal heat. By now you probably have your thermostat turned off and are tip toeing around on cold floors every morning. Natural hot water heat is so inexpensive and versatile it’s a perfect heat source to warm those floors.
If you missed visiting this home during the May, Garden Valley, Parade of Homes, it’s not too late to arrange a showing.

Castle Mountain Creeks Real Estate Market Update
June 3rd, 2008 Categories: Castle Mountain Creeks, Garden Valley Real Estate
Market conditions, since my February report to you, have not changed significantly. After the long winter we are starting to see a slight increase in interest. Nothing really to write home about. The media is tentatively starting to report some signs of life in the economy. The overall northwest market, including Boise, is seeing some slow but steady increases directly related to price adjustments. Many economists are predicting we have seen the bottom of the market in this part of the country. I expect the rise back up to the top will take some time, especially as it relates to land values.
Here are the facts, Ma’am:

“Log Cabin in the Woods”
Have you ever marveled at Thomas Kinkade’s interpretation of the log cabin in the woods? Tucked away, by itself, in the timber, chinked logs, a cozy covered porch, breathtaking views, a little pond outside the front door, the warm light from the fireplace glow visible through the paned windows?
The magic does exist. It has come to life in the form of a very special property in Garden Valley, Idaho.
Visit this home at the Garden Valley Parade of Homes on May 31st. Parade hours are from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. Collect Parade route maps at the Garden Valley Properties office.
For more information contact Garden Valley Properties 208-462-4620.

Celebrate Spring in Garden Valley Idaho.
Each spring the Garden Valley Chamber of Commerce sponsors a Spring Fling celebration. This year will be no exception. One of my favorite events will be the Arts and Craft Fair.

Each of the local merchants will have an open house. Expect to find some great sale items. After shopping and visiting with friends and neighbors and making some new friends, relax and enjoy the live music at the Longhorn Restaurant and Saloon. Don’t forget to pick up some raffle tickets. The drawing includes Idaho Steelhead hockey tickets, Grove Hotel reservations, and Garden Valley Trail Rides.
Bring your checkbook. Spring Fling proceeds go to the Garden Valley Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund. It’s a great way to participate in furthering the education of our youth.
Saturday April 26th
Don’t forget the Mountain Shadows Stride Fun Run/Walk will be held the same day. Proceeds go to Garden Valley Emergency Services.
