    He wants acreage to build...not a house. You have land there for sale I'm sure

    In other parts of Idaho. In my zip code, only two pieces of land for sale. One is $350,000, the other is $600,000.

    I know several people that live near the cheaper piece. A nice area, but 3 of them need to have water trucked in. They drilled wells, but came up dry. Not sure about water at the other piece. It is about 15 miles away, and I do not know anyone in that area.

    No land for sale now where you can tie into a water system. We are full!

    We all say that though....my neighborhood water tables are going to be taxed as three new pieces of land for sale have sold....3 more wells. My relatives in Bend and Prineville will tell you the same thing....that they're full and have been for some time....that BLM land comes on the market still pretty regularly. You need really deep wells in the high country 5 acres of nothin' was for sale near my property for years...they were asking over 500k....I didn't ever think it'd sell....it did just two weeks ago.

    sounds like you're in a good zip code! Thankfully mine is pretty good so far as well

    I made a ton of trips for 5 years researching different areas. I really liked your area, and one of the homes there was near the top of my short list.

    Yeah my zip code is now a hot market. But when I bought my place, it was a depressed area. My house had been on the market for 3 years. The place next to mine took 4 years to sell. Just dumb luck I found a little corner of paradise. But the secret got out.

    When we did our cross-country trip this past summer, we stayed in Boise a couple of days. Enjoyed bike riding on the greenbelt, rafting the Boise river, and dining at some nice restaurants. Reminded me of Bend a little bit. A little bit.

    They sure do love their Broncos there.

    ABM, send me your new criteria so I can update your custom search. Prices have not gone crazy yet but definitely a seller's market until/unless Biden restarts the recession/repossession scam.
