GOOD NEWS! Pending Home Sales UP 49%

“The price of new homes is fixin’ to RISE
In other words, Beat the Crowd!”

Hello, Friends!

When was the last time you heard THAT???

Today, we thought we’d pass along this VERY GOOD NEWS to give your spirits a better-than-average lift.  Reading graphs like this is such a pleasure…

Pending Home Sales are UP 49% over last year!

Great news – statisically speaking. Market stats (as provided by the CDA Multiple Listing Service) shows that PENDING HOME SALES ARE UP 49% when comparing May and June of 2010 to May and June of June 2011. Right now a very hot segment of the market are those homes selling for less than $200k. If you are thinking of selling…there are plenty of investors in the market.

Call us for more info if you’re interested in Buying or Selling
We’d love to help you find the perfect property under (or over!) $200K

NEW LISTING: 20 Acre Resort Business in Scenic Clearwater Area

Pond with FountainThis 20 Acre Resort is located on Highway 12 in the heart of Idaho. Nominated one of the nations top-ranked Scenic Byways, Highway 12 traces the original Lewis & Clark Trail

 

Nature and history lovers the world over flock to the area for its untamed rugged beauty, blue-ribbon rivers & unique cultural legacy.

Part of the immense Nez Perce National Historic Park is located directly across the highway, site of the legendary “Heart of the Monster”. This geological formation is one of 38 sites spread across thousands of acres of untamed Idaho wilderness & attracts hundreds of visitors every year.

This scenic region of north-central Idaho is the largest public wilderness area in the lower 48 states,  a true Sportsman’s Paradise,  drawing year-round crowds.   World famous Clearwater River, a stone’s throw from the Resort, is on every angler’s bucket list.  The Clearwater River produces the largest, hardest- fighting  B-run Steelhead anywhere! Area rivers include the Lochsa, Salmon & Selway.  White water river trips are highly coveted & are often pre-booked years in advance.  At the height of Spring runoff, area rivers can challenge the most experienced navigators. 

Wildlife is abundant in these parts. Hunters and nature enthusiasts thrill to sightings of Deer, Elk, Bear, Mountain Lion, Pheasant, Grouse & Mountain Goats.  The occasional moose always stops traffic! Fall & Spring fishing seasons, hunting season, white-water river adventures, hiking & sightseeing draw year-round crowds and repeat business for the Resort.

 The Resort is located 1.5 miles from Kamiah, Idaho, a progressive small town with a Western/Victorian Motif. Kamiah offers excellent schools, sports programs, and medical services.

If the area draws them in, then the Resort and its many amenities keeps them coming back.  This well-established business, first built in 1979, has continued to grow and thrive under visionary ownership.  It currently boasts a full menu of guest accommodations and services:
