megan01+FollowTreasure Valley homebuyers: Get ready for a market shiftMortgage rates in the Treasure Valley could finally dip soon, and that’s likely to set off a rush for homes. Local experts say if you’re thinking about buying, now’s the time to get your finances in order—because once rates drop, prices are expected to jump fast. Some buyers are using temporary rate buy-downs, but many agents suggest negotiating for a better price now and refinancing later. With homes in Boise still selling quickly, waiting could mean paying more down the road. How are you preparing for these changes? #RealEstate #TreasureValley #MortgageRates00Share

Traci Keller+FollowCommuter rail could change Treasure Valley travelImagine zipping between Caldwell, Nampa, Meridian, and Boise without battling I-84 traffic every day. That dream just got a step closer: local planners have picked commuter rail as the top choice for future mass transit in the Treasure Valley. The plan would use existing rail lines, making it a practical fix for our growing population and worn-out roads. But here’s the catch—Idaho still doesn’t have a way to fund big transit projects like this. So, while the study is a big leap forward, it’s up to our community and lawmakers to decide if we’ll actually see trains rolling through the valley. What do you think—would you ride the rail? #Transportation #TreasureValley #CommuterRail00Share
