Home Supply Down Nationwide

About 3.6% from the previous month, according to ZipRealty (via the Wall Street Journal).

And this from EconomicPolicyJournal: "Inventories typically increase in April as for-sale signs appear for the spring home-shopping season. Since 1982, the average increase in April from the prior month has been 4.8%, according to Zelman & Associates."

Could this be a sign of things to come?

A Room with a View

One of our clients sent us some pictures she took after some rain fell in Boise last week (thank you!).


Isn't the light on the trees spectacular?

There are only a few places in Boise where this picture could have been taken. If you like what you see, stay tuned. We just might be listing something that offers this unobstructed view of the parks and downtown Boise. (Or if you're really curious, email us: info@boisesbestre.com).

Good News for Downtown Boise

The Aspen Lofts, Scott Kimball's prism-faced 17-story mixed-use condo complex, will finally open its doors to downtown's newest urban residents.

Money line: "This economy has created an awful lot of naysayers, but the fact is that there's an unsatisfied demand based on either the younger generation or the baby boomer generation to live down in an urban setting, and that won't go away," said Forrester.

As a perk, when you follow the link above, you'll be able to download a map that highlights all of Downtown Boise's condo and loft developments.

Tearing Down Homes in Austin, Texas

It's hard to imagine that we are at a place in the US where demolishing houses is the only option for banks who can't sell.

Watch this short video at the Wall Street Journal online.

Couldn't they do something else with these homes? Donate them to Habitat for Humanity? Donate them to a local nonprofit who could raffle them off? Wouldn't ANYTHING be better than tearing down a home?
