Some questions re: Boise!
DH is considering taking a job in Boise next year. The company is
specifically in Meridian, which I know has nice houses and good
schools, so we would probably live there.
I've heard traffic is a bit of a problem in the area because of the growth, but that it's not out of hand.
I've kept an eye on the housing market on Craigslist (but know CL isn't always the best indicator of what's really going on). It seems like the house prices aren't really going up much, and that you can get some deals from people needing to dump their houses (avoiding foreclosure, etc.). Do you think this is the case? What do you see happening w/ real estate? What can you buy for $150k? $180k? $200k?
Is there a lot to do for kids and SAHMs?
How about recreational stuff, like camping or hunting (a must-have for DH. lol)
Any other info would be greatly appreciated! I asked a question a few months ago and you were all very helpful!

Re: Some questions re: Boise!
Hi there!
Another 2008 Idaho Knottie here. I am a local real estate consultant and am happy to answer any questions you may have about the area. Feel free to email me directly at northernvagrl @ yahoo . com
You can still get quite a bit for your money in the area and there is not better time to buy, however, depending on your financial situation it is becoming more difficult to borrow at a high LTV.
I moved to Boise and would consider myself a big city refugee. Boise is AWESOME! There is tons to do from camping, hunting, boating (at Lucky Peak), tons of hiking. Meridian specifically offers the Meridian Speedway as well as Boondocks and Roaring Springs water park for kids.
Anyways, I'm not trying to solicit any business, but wanted to let you know that there is a fellow knottie who knows quite a bit about the area and real estate values.
Take care!
