Newsflash

Sept 6, 2010: I have updated the Mountain Home Voters Guide to the 2010 General Election. This "sample ballot" for Mountain Home residents now includes the candidates for the Western Elmore County Recreation District. Two local residents have stepped up to the plate and believe they can do a proper job running the WECRD. Hopefully Judy Mayne and Nelson will give us the opportunity to discover what they plan on doing to straighten out the WECRD. Click HERE to download the guide.

Mtn Home Walmart Real Estate Index Part 3

Business News - Local Business

This is Part 3 of the Bondyweb Walmart Real Estate Index for Mountain Home, Idaho

Part 1 can be read here |   Part 2 can be read here

Saturday evening, July 17th, 2010 had me heading off to Walmart for some Band Aids. As I slowly traveled along the 2.7 miles I counted 12 homes for sale. It didn't appear that any homes along the Walmart Real Estate Index trail had sold since my last trip on July 9th. But going slow allowed me to actually look at some of the homes without "For Sale" signs on them. I found two houses that were obviously empty and maybe in some sort of foreclosure? The two foot high dead and brown grass was my clue that these homes may be on the Mountain Home real estate market soon.

Real estate index for Mountain Home Idaho

The Numbers
July 2, 2010 – 11 Homes for Sale
July 9, 2010 – 12 Homes for Sale
July 18, 2010 – 12 Homes for Sale

What My "Walmart Homes for Sale in Mountain Home Idaho Index" Tells Me This Week:
The real estate market is "unscientifically" soft or maybe just plain stagnant. The two unoccupied home are just a symptoms of this soft market? I don't know the story behind these unkempt yards and seemingly not lived homes but it could be another piece of the puzzle.

Trulia Does Not Agree With My Data...Again
For a second week in a row, Trulia indicates the sheer number of 3 bedroom houses for sale in Mountain Home continues decrease. On the other hand, the average asking price of homes for sale are continuing their slow decline also. When will the real estate market in Mountain Home hit bottom? I'll leave that forecast to the real experts who use real data instead of my "just for fun" information.
