home for sale on the SUN VALLEY BIKE PATH in KETCHUM, IDAHO  Whew… my very first blog. Are my palms clammy?  Of course.  Does it feel like Google is big brother watching every word I type? Absolutely. What the heck, here we go……… I just listed a fantastic home in Ketchum, Idaho, and I’d like to tell you why I really like this house: First let’s talk about LOCATION Located south of the gateway to Ketchum, Idaho, this custom home is situated in desirable LOWER Cold Springs. Lower Cold Springs is a hidden neighborhood unto itself. The lush vegetation and proximity to the Big Wood River create a sense of remoteness and privacy, yet Cold Springs is just a few miles from downtown Ketchum and all the Sun Valley amenities.                     Then let’s talk about the CUSTOM FEATURES The kitche...

It's Official...Sun Valley Idaho has become the annual 4th of July destination for me and a few of my friends.  This was my second year visiting the "Spud" State, and If the fates allow, we'll be back again in 2013.  I Can't wait! "The Hike" this year...(yes, always a hike...and this one involved off road driving and river crossing just to get to the trail head)...took us to Kane Lake in the Sawtooth National Forest.  Elevation: 9,222 ft.  It's quite a climb, but the end result was worth the sweat.  Mind you, we didn't start at sea level, but you get the picture.    ;-)

I know, I know.  You'd think I was secretly working for the Idaho Tourism Bureau.  To be on point, this is a more sentimental version of my recent visit to the spud State.  Note to Jane Peters: I promise you won't get car-sick watching this one!      Have a great mid-July weekend everyone!

I'm back. ...From Idaho, that is.  I wanted to say it was my first visit to the "spud" State, but then my folks reminded me that we drove through Boise back in the mid 70's while touring the Western States on a family vacation.  Hmmm...don't seem to remember that part.  Although, I DO remember my mother dying to get back home so we could dump off the 40 foot motor home we rented for that trip.  That was about as close to "camping" as our family ever got.  Let me put it this way: if my folks were living  during the mid 1800's and a plan was made to migrate west, my mother would have waited for the transcontinental railroad to be up and running before stepping out the door.  But I digress... I met up with Tracey and Jeff who now live in Hailey, ID. (near Sun Valley).  During my stay, I co...

If consumer spending is a keystone element in the U.S. economic recovery, a full-on rebound is likely underway. Tuesday, the Census Bureau released its national January Retail Sales figures and, for the seventh straight month, the data surpassed expectations. Last month's retail figures climbed 0.3 percent as total sales receipts reached an all-time high. It's good news for the economy which is scratching back after a prolonged recession, however as we have discussed in previous postings, if you're looking for a mortgage - rates have been going up since November and are not going to turn around anytime soon.  Because consumer spending accounts for the majority of the U.S. economy, Retail Sales growth means more economic growth and that growth draws Wall Street's dollars toward riskier i...

  Ketchum's largest Summer Festival is already underway and you won't want to miss this year!  The antique vendors have set up all over town and there are food stalls and events on the calendar every day leading up to the Big Hitch Parade on Saturday at 1:00.  The antique fairs will continue into Sunday so that should leave plenty of time to shop for a little Real Estate while you are shopping for the furniture to go in it :) The weather couldn't be more spectacular and I invite you to take advantage of the numerous hiking trails, the bike path and the fishing opportunities...You won't be disappointed.  Many restaurants are serving "Al Fresco" at this time of year and the nights may be cool so bring a wrap if you think you will be dining into the night.  Click the link  to access the We...
