Teton Valley Summer is Sizzling . . .

I mean that both literally and figuratively.  The weather this summer has be marvelous!  I have been trying to take the little one to the park for lunches as often as possible, we’re trying to soak up all of the wonderful mountain sun that we can.  With temps averaging about 80 degrees, the summer in this valley is spectacular!

So are the great deals!

I keep checking the hot sheet, and I see these amazing homes (and land) popping up all the time, and keep thinking to myself, “I wish I had infinite funds, I would go on a shopping spree.”  The deals right now are better than I’ve seen in the past 10 years, and that is really no joke.

For those looking to buy vacant land: The prices are so low, it should be criminal.  Some of the properties out there are so incredibly unique, I can’t believe (even in this down market) that they are still available.  There are some really great loan programs out there for those of you that are looking to finance.

For those of you looking to buy homes:  Whether interested in vacation property, a primary residence, or investment property, the prices are smoking.  I’ve been around in the good times (when I happened to buy land and build) and bad times.  I do think that our market has definitely bottomed, and I see now a decrease in the foreclosures (about 20%).  This means that we’ll start to see pricing stabilize, (hopefully increase) in the near future.  Coupled with great interest rates, there really isn’t a better time!  I just saw a home on the hot sheet (4,000 + square feet, 2.5 acres and excellent Teton Views for UNDER $200,000).  I can’t believe it.
