Eagle Idaho is a desireable, upscale community nestled along the base of the Boise
foothills. Eagle offers high-end, quality-crafted homes, fine dining, boutique shopping
and a friendly community. The Boise river meanders through Eagle and you'll often
find folks walking the greenbelt or enjoying a peaceful picnic along the banks.
Eagle offers convenient access to the entire Treasure Valley and provides direct
routes to northern ski areas, foothills hiking, river rafting and other fun Idaho
outdoor activities. If you prefer newer construction homes in an upscale market
then Eagle is the place for you. Pictured above is Rembrandt’s Coffee House in Eagle’s
quaint downtown area.
North Boise is one of the most sought after communities in the Boise area. Affectionately
referred to as The North End, here you will find classic architecture and character
in the turn of the century and early 1900's era homes. Many homes in The North End
have been fully restored to their original condition with a complementary touch
of modern conveniences. If you enjoy tree-lined streets, patio-dining at corner
restaurants and quiet and peaceful neighborhoods then be certain to see a few Boise
homes in this area during your visit. Pictured above is Boise’s historic Harrison
Boulevard which runs from Boise’s thriving downtown through the heart of The North
End.

Recently, a room of hundreds of realtors, bankers, builders and related trades attended a presentation of economic study, in attempts to scope out our future, presented by one of the most lettered, renowned economists in our country, and sponsored by Stewart Title. This is a way of forecasting the real estate market for us, allowing us to prepare, strap on our seat belts and head into the wind. One of his quotes during this presentation was “it’s going to ugly on down some more”.
I’ve learned through my tenured years in the design/build industry that there will always be a ‘sky falling’ chicken in our futures. Running around, freaking out that the sky is getting dark. And to be sure, we should always be prepared for calamity of one sort or another. We should never get too far extended ahead of ourselves; we should understand the tipping point between risk and reserve.
However, when we let others forecast our futures, there tends to be the domino effect. We let others steer our ships, take our masts down, and tuck in. When the storm comes, we need to be ready, head into it, and work a bit harder, not less. I say this from experience, and true to form, there will always be the very small percentage of winners in a recession that take the market by storm, because their competition has tucked in. In other words, if you buy into it, for sure, it will be there, and it will take you down like just one more domino. . .
So, whichever industry you are in, sure you will be affected. It’s your choice as to whether or not you buy into it, or move forward. I know from my past experiences that some of these low economic periods have been some of the most fruitful. I hope this can be true for you as well.
I remain eager, persistent and resourceful to fulfill your real estate needs, and I wish you all the best through this next economic chapter.
