Another Home Buyer Tax Credit
August 30, 2010 by Josh Groesbeck
Filed under Buyers
That’s right rumor on the street is there may be another tax credit for Home Buyer’s- Could consist of money for First Time Home Buyer’s, Move Up Home Buyer’s and the new twist could be incentive to purchase REO (Bank Owned) and Short Sale properties. If this happens we will be combining low, low, low I mean lowest interest rates on record with homes being sold crazy low prices. Idaho has long been ranked high for best places to live and work and I expect that the Boise Valley will rank high again when this economy turns around. Let’s see what happens but maybe the 3rd time is the charm! Josh Groesbeck 208-353-7131 or josh@homeswithjosh.com and www.homeswithjosh.com
Owning Your Idaho Home
August 30, 2010 by Josh Groesbeck
Filed under Buyers
Everyday we here more bad news about the housing fallout and while that cannot be ignored there are some major benefits of home ownership. A lot of the times home ownership are more than the financial dividends. The best things about owning a home have a lot more to do with personal comfort and satisfaction. I was golfing with a retired professor from Notre Dame. He followed his wife and kids over to Idaho and told me if it weren’t for his job at the University of Notre Dame he would have been here years ago. He had been coming to Boise, Idaho since the late 1960′s telling me that he always knew that he would end up owning a home here. In closing “I love Idaho” and good game 
Here are five of them:
· Be your own landlord. The bank can only kick you out if you don’t pay; a landlord can be much less dependable – deciding to sell the property or choosing to live there themselves.
· Paying the principal is forced savings. Yes, it’s possible that home prices will fall further. It is also possible that your 401k will go down, but in the end both should provide you with an upside.
· Fixed-rate mortgages never rise – and eventually you pay them off. With mortgage rates at record lows, people who buy now are locking in real bargains.
· Good schools. Family-sized rentals are harder to come by in areas with excellent public schools.
· Spacious properties in pleasant neighborhoods. Sizable homes in attractive communities are almost always owned – not rented.

This home and others are located in Idaho’s wonderful town of Kuna. Kuna’s business center is approximately 18 miles (40 km) from Boise, the state capital.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.4 square miles (6.2 km²), all of it land.
South of Kuna is located the Kuna Caves, an underground lava flow cave.
A small seasonal creek, now used as a canal for irrigation water, Indian Creek, runs through the city. One of the few small floatable waterways in the region, Indian Creek is a favorite tubing spot for local residents.
[edit] History
Kuna originated as a railroad stop with coach transport to Boise. It is popularly believed, as cited by the Kuna Chamber of Commerce, that the translation of the name “Kuna” means “the end of the trail”, but Charles S. Walgamott cites the origin of the name as a Shoshone Indian word meaning “green leaf, good to smoke” (see “Six Decades Back”, a memoir of Walgamott’s adventures in the late 1800s in southern Idaho).
The Western Heritage Historic Byway, designated as a national as well as a state scenic byway, travels around a number of historic sites in the area.
