How far will Kootenai County house prices decline?

The Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Metro area is growing like crazy . . .

One of my main goals for this blog has been to provide accurate information, from stats to statements.  Everything factual, provable, accurate.  One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone spouts off information that is inaccurate.  Even bigger, is when it is a colleague or someone working within the real estate industry.

It’s the best time to buy real estate . . .

According to CNNMoney.com - it’s the “Best time to buy in four years.  Home values have declined across the country, giving homebuyers the best buyers they’ve had since 2004″.
Well - ok then.  Jump right on that people!!!
Let’s put it in perspective first . . . Home values have not declined “across the country” - as [...]

Looking for a North Idaho “Cash Flow Club?”
