Meridian Idaho Real Estate

April 21, 2011 By 39 Comments


I currently live in Meridian and truly enjoy the quality of living the community provides. From the antique stores to the dining experiences, Meridian offers services not seen in alternate communities. Meridian is centrally located between Boise and Nampa and makes commute times to work, school or play a breeze.

There are obviously numerous options to consider when looking into Meridian Idaho Real Estate. Where do you work? Where to you shop? Where would you like your children (if any) to attend school? Meridian boundaries do encompass a substantial area and deciding on where you want to land is important prior to looking at Meridian homes for sale.

Meridian Idaho Real Estate

Like most cities and towns within Idaho, there are certain subdivisions or communities that will maintain values more so than others. Below you will find my personal favorites:

Some popular subdivisions in Meridian are:

  • Lochsa Falls
  • Kelly Creek
  • Tuscany
  • Observation Pointe
  • Bear Creek
  • Paramount
  • Saguaro Canyon

Meridian Homes For Sale

On any given day there are approximately 600-800 Meridian homes for sale. The area unemployment rate and local economy drive the current inventory of available homes within Meridian. By using the Meridian Idaho Home Search, Meridian homes for sale can be viewed using the interactive mapping feature or by searching using the specific criteria needed (square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size and listing status).

There are typically anywhere from 300 -1000 available Meridian homes for sale at any one time.  This, of course, depends on the supply vs demand that is driven by the local economy and unemployment rate.  To see the available homes, you can click on our Meridian Idaho home search where you can search by map and by your specific criteria.  You can also search by square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size acreage and also by the listing status.  Looking for Meridian short sales or foreclosures / bank owned MLS listings? www.TrustIdaho.com contains a particular search function that allows the user to search specifically for Meridian distressed property.

Meridian Short Sales and Foreclosures

It is essential to develop a plan when searching specifically for Meridian short sales or Meridian bank owned homes for sale. Below you will find a brief explanation of the necessary steps to take:

Step1Visit an experienced mortgage lender (unless you will be paying “cash” for the home).  A pre-approval letter or pre-qualification letter is required by the seller of a Meridian short sale or Meridian bank owned property when submitting an offer to purchase so that your credit worthiness can be verified.


Step 2 Determine where you would like to live and what amenities are essential to you and your families needs. Being an experienced Meridian Idaho Real Estate professional, I can help with this decision making process and will also locate homes that match the amenities that you desire. The real estate services provided to homebuyers in the State of Idaho when searching and locating Meridian homes for sale do no require up front payment—the seller of the home you purchase will compensate Trust Realty and myself for representing your interests during the home purchase. Representation is essential in order to ensure that the home buying process is completed thoroughly. I can be contacted day or night and would love to have the opportunity to help you begin the Meridian home search process.

Step 3 Request to be set up on a listing notification. A listing notification system is designed to notify you via email when Meridian Idaho homes for sale that match your certain home search criteria come onto the market or have recently had a price adjustment. Homes that are in good shape and priced competitively obtain offers very quickly—even in a “down” market. The notification system enables you to be the first to know about new listings and provides you a much higher probability of locating the most suitable home for your needs before alternate buyers have an opportunity to view. Contact me today to get the notification system enabled!

Meridian City Resources

Meridian is a great city to live, work, and play.  Here are some of the resources you might need when you are buying in the Meridian real estate market.

City of Meridian

Meridian Chamber of Commerce

Boise State University

Idaho Statesman

It is an honor to represent your interests when purchasing a Meridian home or when selling the home that is currently owned.  Contact me at 208-869-3469 or visit Trust Realty’s interactive Meridian home search tool right now!

BOISE HOMES—HAS THE MARKET STABALIZED?

March 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment

BOISE HOMES—HAS THE MARKET STABALIZED?         

Boise home pricing has stabilized (in my opinion and others).  Granted, we could see a spurt of depreciation if inventory were to increase substantially. However, inventory levels within the Greater Boise-Nampa Real Estate Market have subsided drastically within the past 6 months.  If this trend continues then Boise home pricing will continue to stay stable and appreciation should begin.

Typically, any type of trend in home pricing is found at the employment epicenter of our Valley–Boise.  Statistics show that there has been some appreciation (although minimal) within certain pockets of SE Boise and North Boise.  This is a very good sign and I hope that the trend spreads throughout the remainder of the Treasure Valley that include Meridian homes, Kuna homes, Eagle homes, and Nampa homes.

A strong case for market stabilization can be found by viewing market statistics from the 1980’s.  You see, the real estate market during the mid 1980’s was similar (not exact since typical interest rates during this time were at 15%–much different then the 4.5% mortgage rates at this time).  At the “bottom” of the market during the 80′s, a potential purchaser could purchase a home for less then what it costs to rent a home.  When this happened, home pricing began its upward climb.  One can assume that this trend will surface for Boise homes, as well. 

At this time, one can purchase a Boise home for sale for less then it costs to rent.  I, along with most real estate experts predict that we are at the bottom of the market due to this fact.

It’s time to take advantage of the historically low Boise home prices and interest rates before this opportunity passes.  Please call or email me to discuss your options!

OVER 406 BANK OWNED HOMES FOR SALE IN ADA COUNTY

March 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment

As you probably know, there is a plethora of bank owned homes for sale in Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna and Star.   Banks are motivated to sell and will typically price these distressed homes 10-30 percent under current market values.  Granted, most do need cosmetic work done prior to move-in such as new carpet, paint, lawn maintenanceand other misc items.  However, there are some bank owned property which the previous homeowner has taken it upon themselves to leave the residence in nasty shape by taking a sledge hammer to walls and doors along with pulling all appliances like the range, dishwasher, disposal and microwave (sometimes water heaters and furnaces, too).  Unless you would like to take on the costs, I suggest bypassing some of the bank owned homes on the market. 

It is also important to not look for only bank owned homes.  There are numerous non-distressed homes on the market (fair market sellers) that must sell.  These homes are priced competitively and do not need the improvements that a foreclosed upon home typically does.  With that, it is important to consider the costs of repairs when deciding whether to purchase a home which needs some love (yet is priced lower than the home down the street) or one that is turn key and ready to be moved into.

Bank owned homes will be prevelant in our market through 2010 and part of 2011.  Would you like a list of bank owned homes forwarded to you?  If so, send me an email with your contact info and I will provide a list of bank owned property currently on the market.

Sweat Equity on the Rise!!

November 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Jim and Kristina have taken advantage of the real estate market.

At the start of 2009 this couple sold their home in Meridian with the intention of moving to California to be near family. After months and months of looking at several homes in the Golden State, the couple became discouraged and began to sense that Boise Idaho’s pricing, along with quality of living, was too good to pass up. With that, Jim, Kristina and I began a search for their new home.

New construction, short sales, bank-owned property and occupied homes alike all had positives and negatives. When the dust settled, however, the couple found that a well-built bank-owned property within a cozy community fit the bill very nicely. Although the floors were ratty, the paint distasteful and curb appeal lacking, the home had much potential. The kitchen was open and bright with plenty of cabinet space, the floor plan flowed with ease and the quality of construction was first rate. In 2006 this home would have sold for the mid 180′s but by working together, the Beans were able to make the purchase for only $130,000.

Jim and Kristina have always been “handy” people. In fact, while in California the couple spent many weeks helping their son and daughter construct their personal home. During this time, Jim and Kristina learned trades that included installing tile, hardwood flooring, siding-you name it!! The knowledge was definitely put to good use.

The work began. Kristina began stripping the countertops and laying tile. Jim started pulling the dirty carpet and ripped vinyl planning to lay a hickory floor. All the while, doing prep work for the full interior paint job. After nearly 30 days of sleeping on cots and eating cold dinners, the Beans completed their project and invited me over to see the results of their “sweat equity”.

I could hardly believe that it was the same home! The smell of fresh paint and lacquer was prevalent while Kristina excitedly directly me toward the kitchen. Granite and tile graced the middle island, countertops and backsplashes; the cabinetry was antiqued while the stainless steel appliances topped it off. “Wow!” I exclaimed. Next, Jim spoke about the hickory flooring that was laid throughout the first floor. It was gorgeous and only cost $1,000 for the material! Jim and Kristina were proud of their work and had every right to be.

Before leaving, Jim and I discussed the market and what the home might sell for right now. At least $150,000, I mentioned, if not more. Jim stated that he and Kristina had put $2,000 (plus or minus) into material and couldn’t be more thrilled that they had realistically made $16,000 for their time. “In a year or so, Matt, we’ll be doing this again. And also, my kids down South are itching take advantage of the pricing around here”.

Jim, Kristina and I
