Reasons To Hire Me As Your Buyer's Representative:  

• The listing agent represents the seller, not you.  And a limited-dual agent is just that- limited. 
• The seller pays me to protect you from risk and get you the best home, loan & deal.
• I am a Realtor with 18 years experience working under a code of ethics, a Graduate of the Realtor Institute, Accredited Buyer's Representative Why Use an ABR and Certified Residential Specialist, a designation which only 4% of Realtors have earned by meeting high production & education requirements.
• I am an advocate-accommodator-advisor, not a salesman. I come to you and never use high-pressure sales tactics. My contract for representation does not obligate you to buy, but holds us to the highest legal standard when working for you, including holding your interests above all others, locating the property described, keeping everything confidential, and performing the terms of your contract.
• I work daily to ensure you see every available home for sale that meets your needs and price range.
• I help you tap all sources of homes for sale to find the perfect home or best bargain- live auctions, pre-foreclosures, short sales, foreclosed homes; HUD, VA, bank-owned REO homes.
• You get free access to my daily tracking and analysis of HUD homes, Best Priced REO homes for sale in the Boise Metro, plus my Market Monitor.
• I will attend your closing and my service continues after the sale.

Dozens of new never-occupied homes lost by builders, some foreclosed while under construction, fixer-uppers as low as $30k, starter homes, rental homes, homes with acreage, townhouses, condos, duplexes, luxury and executive homes priced at a fraction of past values. See my Bank Repos Intro for more information.

HUD Homes- many for $100 down!  Now 31 in the valley available at major discounts, many on daily bids, for homebuyers and investors. See my HUD Homes Info.

Mortgage Rates Roller Coaster June 26th, 2009 - According to a weekly survey of large lenders by Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage for the week was 5.42 percent, up from 5.38 percent the previous week. After hitting a 6-month high two weeks ago, rates fell last week only to rise again this week. Expect rates to climb, as the Fed announced it will take no action to keep long-term rates down, instead concentrating on short-term.

Q1 2009 Median Existing Single-family Home Prices

Region	Median	1Yr Chg
National	169,000	down 19.8%
West	237,600	down 13.8%
Ada County	175,000	down 12.5%
Canyon County	112,500	down 26.8%

The Boise Idaho Home Market

Low Supply, Low Prices, Low Rates!  Both Ada & Canyon Counties now have less than a 5-month overall supply of homes for sale, based on nearly 1700 homes with contracts pending, which is 300 higher than last year's peak. Buyers are taking advantage of the lowest prices in 4 years, low mortgage rates and the tax credit. 

Lower, But Still High Supply of Foreclosed Homes.  Buyers have recognized the bargains.  Inventory of foreclosed (REO) homes for sale in Ada & Canyon Counties has dropped 35%  in just a few weeks and now represents less than 6% of total inventory. Sales have out-paced supply, but that could change during the slow winter months.

Short Sales Climbing More Slowly.  As of June 1st, short sales represent 23% of all homes for sale in the Boise-Nampa Metro. Around a quarter of these will be foreclosed, based on my research. The number of successful short sales should increase with new legislation being pushed by Realtors to regulate short sales and government incentives to lenders for avoiding foreclosure.   This means a lesser inventory of foreclosed homes in the future, but it will take some time for the market to absorb these homes.

My Market Monitor has detailed analysis of the Boise-Nampa Metro with historical perspective on median prices, supply & demand of existing homes by city, levels of foreclosures, short sales and new construction.

"Dan helped me buy my first home at $21,000 below appraisal." Nick H.
"With Dan's help, we've made many thousands on real estate investments." Ken & Laura H.

Dan was the perfect fit for us.  We recently purchased our first house, and Dan's knowledge & experience were invaluable to us every step of the way.

 

The seller accepted the price of our first offer, paid most of our closing costs, added landscaping & a complete fence, and we closed in less than 3 weeks.  It was much less painful that we expected, and Dan made it happen.

 

Dan's help wasn't just helpful, it was NECESSARY.  In addition to the services provided by most Realtors, the services Dan performed for us included his expert local market analysis, a technical (& practical) review of the home inspection, helpful hints and tips for first time homeowners (things we can do to lengthen the life of our new home - things we never would've thought of on our own), and keeping us from going insane as we waited for a response to our offer.  Dan is a great communicator, he understands the process of buying (and selling) a home, and he obviously knows the business of real estate in the Treasure Valley.  We definitely will continue to recommend Dan to anyone looking to buy (or sell) a home.  We love our new home, and we LOVE the deal we got, thanks to Dan!

 

THANKS DAN!
