With home foreclosures at an all time high across the U.S., the fact is, that now is the time to make the move to the place you have always dreamed of moving or retiring to. Idaho is just one of those places and there is no place better to escape the problems of a big city.
The greater Boise area including the Treasure Valley are being recognized as the sight of the next big real estate market boom to take place in the western U.S., so now is the time to begin your search. However, this area in general has fared much better economically then other parts of the U.S. that have been getting hammered by this decades recession.
This means that finding an Idaho foreclosure home on the market is going to involve doing a little research online if you plan on having any measure of success. For instance, the town of Caldwell is undergoing a massive five year airport expansion project as well as a $20,000,000 downtown renovation project both simultaneously.
This means two things. The first is that a foreclosure home is going to be harder to find there but if you can find one it will be an excellent investment. As you move away from the greater Boise area into the outer reaches of the state of Idaho, the median price on a home drops considerably.
Right now the median price on a two bedroom home in Boise stands at just over $200,000, while the average price on the same home in the state of Idaho is somewhere in the mid $130,000s right now. However, there are still plenty of golden opportunities to find fantastic deals on larger tracts of land in the state of Idaho but they won't last long when the country begins to pull out of its current recession.
