10 Best Affordable Mountain Towns for Retirement
These places offer scenic views and groomed slopes at economical prices.
Posted: July 12, 2010
…To find this and other low-cost mountain towns, U.S. News fired up our Best Places to Retire search tool. We looked for places that offer access to plenty of skiing, trails, and wildlife, while still providing affordable housing and a reasonable cost of living. We also used the Onboard Informatics data to screen for other retiree-friendly characteristics, such as access to healthcare and a low crime rate…
Few aspiring retirees have enough saved to buy a retirement home in Aspen or Lake Tahoe.

In Salt Lake City, the host city for the 2002 winter Olympics, the average home sale price has dropped by 11.92 percent since last year. And in Bend, Ore., average housing prices decreased by a whopping 17.62 percent since 2009. Redding, Calif. and Post Falls, Idaho have also experienced recent drops in average housing prices, which could mean bargains for newcomers. …

What is the True Cost of the Interest Rate Increase?
Dear Friends,
It’s probably no surprise that rising interest rates have a significant impact on your pocket book.
But how much of an impact? The True Cost may shock you!
Consider this:
The average stay in a home is 5 to 7 years
according to the National Association of Realtors®.
Knowing you like to stay informed, we have provided three real-world home buying scenarios in the graphics below. From these hypothetical comparisons, we hope you can get a better idea of the true cost of the interest rate hikes that are expected in the near future.
Assuming that you remain in your new home for 7 years, it is very clear the HUGE impact of rising interest rates.
WAITING TO BUY could cost you THOUSANDS of dollars!
(Visit our website to view larger PDF graphics of these three scenarios.)
Home “A” Costs $150,000
At the current interest rate of 4.875%, the monthly payment will be $797.
If you wait until the interest rate rises to 6%,
your monthly payment will increase by $85,
for a total annual increase of $1020!
If you stay in that home for 7 years,
you will be spending $7140 MORE!
What could you do with an extra $7140?
Waiting to purchase this $250,000 home could cost you
$140 per month
$1680 per year
If you stay in that home for 7 years,
you will be spending $11,760 MORE!
What could you do with an extra $11,760?
What could you do with an extra
$21,840?
Thinking of buying? Now is a great time, if you want to save $$ in your monthly budget, as well as over the life of your potential mortgage.
Are you waiting for a lower purchase price?
The “savings” of a few thousand dollars off the purchase price will actually COST you THOUSANDS when the interest rates rise.
Don’t wait to make your next Real Estate move.

Remembering “Browser”
Our Schnauzer “Browser” was probably the most famous dog in Idaho. Over the years, we have featured him in our print and electronic advertizing. He’s even been on a billboard! If you had the pleasure of knowing him, you’ll know that he was on of the best Public Relations reps ever!
Our faithful little buddy passed earlier this year. Although we miss him very much, we are so grateful for the years and blessings of his precious friendship. (In Loving Memory of Browser)
We can hardly forsake his memory especially now. Since he was such a huge part of our Real Estate business as well as our personal lives, we beg your indulgence as we continue doing business in his memory for a little while longer.
When you think of Browsing for Real Estate on the internet, we hope you’ll remember our “best friend” and visit websites that bear his name: www.RealEstate-Browser.com.

Gated 15 Acre Coeur d’Alene Lakefront Estate
Reminiscent of an English Country Manor, mortared in Rocky Mountain Granite, this singular Lake Coeur d’Alene gated estate has few rivals. While premium waterfront property typically claims no more than a mere acre or two, this massive gated estate is nestled on a full 15 Acres, on 510 feet of deep water lakefront.
Incomparable cerulean lake views from large Palladian picture windows adorn most spaces of the 7330 sq ft 6 Bedroom, 5.5 Bath Main House. Generous expanses of Eastern Butternut hardwood flooring, tongue-in-groove vaulted ceilings & hand-hewn beaming grace the interior of this Cross-gabled Tudor Revival. Interior hallways and a grand foyer are founded in Idaho Diamond Plate Rock.
Grand Stone Fireplace takes a well-deserved seat of honor in the formal living room.
Sun-drenched Palladian picture windows frame a breathless blue Lake View from the exquisite Formal Dining room, featuring a built-in sideboard.
That St Charles cabinetry is augmented in the Gourmet Kitchen, & faces a full suite of appliances, including built-in refrigerator. The chef who masters this domain is treated to another Lake Vista, as well as a large granite island breakfast bar with prep sink & gas Cooktop.
Fairy-tale Master Suite has a Gas Fireplace framed in a charcoal surround with White Mantle & hearth. The restful watery dreamscape is again a dominant focus to this heavenly retreat.
Trophy room is perfect for any prize: from big game or your Biggest Games. Equipped with a “Murphy” bed and its own bathroom, this could also serve as a 6th bedroom or guest room. Daylight lower level boasts a Home Gym, Wine Room & Theater Room with two rows of theater-style seating. Also included in lower level are 2 full bedrooms with bath, sitting room and secret safe room.
Main Level Family Room features a wood-burning fireplace in a rocked wall with media niche, flanked by two walls of Lake Views, one of which opens onto an Outdoor Patio.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped with paved walkways and stairways, granite rockwork walls, lush shrubbery, colorful flora & Champion-Quality Tennis Court.
The Luxury 1500 sq ft guest house could serve as two separate guest quarters. Main Level has a Rocked Corner Fireplace in the Great Room, Master Suite & Full Granite Kitchen. Upper Level features a Bedroom Suite with Granite Kitchenette. Guest House also features un-impeded Lake viewing.
Scenic patios boast views of Lake Coeur d’Alene and pine-, fir- and tamarack-studded mountains. By day, bask in sunny North Idaho perfection from the Sandy Beach at the waterfront. Swim, fish or launch almost any type of watercraft from the 1110 sq ft, 3-slip Boat Dock with Lift. Gather around the Outdoor Fireplace at day’s end for an evening of star-gazing. An adorable single-room ‘Duck House’ on the waterfront might be suitable as artist’s studio or a play cabin.
Located five miles from The Golf Club at Black Rock, a world-class members-only community.
