Kuna, ID

The numbers are out for this weeks Kuna Real Estate statistics. From the looks of it inventory is still declining and buyer activity is still on the increase. As I mentioned last week, these are positive indicators, but I don’t think we are out of the woods on this one so to speak.

A Closer Look

In the coming months keep your eyes out for continued decreasing inventory in the more affordable price ranges as financing continues to be at record lows. There’s a lot of pent up demand and with the $7500 Tax Credit, there should be quite a few First Time Home Buyers that will be shopping with the July 09′ Deadline in mind.

If you are buying, the fact that the prices are decreasing but the price per square foot is increasing means that you’ll pay less and get less. That alone could be an indicator that we’re bouncing along the so-called ‘bottom’ of the market.

For a more detailed analysis, send me a request and I’ll get you one same day.

Getting lost in a Corn Maze is a very big attraction in these parts, evidence by having two wonderful selections almost right next to each other. So I thought I’d better get some first hand knowledge to add to my blog. (that’s one great thing about blogging, you have an good excuse to have fun)

The Corn Maize is located in Kuna Idaho on Meridian Rd pass Lake Hazel. First I need to get a coupon off their website (much to my kids dismay) http://www.idahomaze.com/ This website is great! Even has pictures of past mazes. And video of the field of screams that will really whet your appetite for fright.

The field of screams opens in October on Friday and Saturday nights. Guess I’ll have to wait. The other events are geared for the real young, of which I don’t have any yet.

The other great corn maze in the area to choose from is on Linder Road. Turn West on Lake Hazel off of Meridian Rd and go to the next road (Linder) and turn north.

7165 S Linder Rd, Meridian, ID 83642. Phone: (208) 371-0222. Email them at: sherrie@linderfarms.com. Pumpkins are usually available in October. Open: Monday to Friday 5pm - 8pm Saturday 11am to 8pm Opening September 24th, 2005 through Halloween

Corn maze, pumpkins, pumpkin patch-pick in the field, child-sized haybale maze, and really fun tractor-pulled hay rides.

Then while your at it, stop at Rice Farms on Meridian Rd, just pass the Corn Maize and pick up some wonderful, organic produce. The Honey Crisp Apples are my favorite.

Actually Fall is my favorite. Enjoy

The fastest growing segment of the Treasure Valley’s population is the unincorporated area of Ada County. (Kuna Melba News Vol 26,No1) Growing a whopping 5.7%.

There is plenty of opportunity to own your piece of Idaho in the Boise area.

So now is a great time to consider a solid investment…land. Check out my favorite source of land advice Stock vs Land Investments

As the city of Kuna completes it’s new comprehensive plan, opportunities to invest in this area that is experiencing steady growth will be prime. Buy now, enjoy, and reap the financial benefits later.

One of the fastest growing rural communities in the Treasure Valley, Kuna Idaho, is boasting a 4 percent growth rate in 2007. Located South of Boise and Meridian, it has easy access to the interstate. Plus a great school system, not much traffic, low crime and a great country atmosphere.

As the Treasure Valley grows, developers and cities look to areas that have the best land deals. As the Boise area grows, there is one option and that is to come south. Boise has already approved subdivisions east as far south as Kuna.

With the proposed Kuna Mora bypass, planned for sometime in the future, the land south of the interstate will be prime for even more growth.

So don’t miss this great piece of land for sale. (the real reason for this post) Locust Grove

Here is one opportunity to buy now, wait for Kuna to complete it’s comprehensive plan, apply for a one time split, and sell off half of your investment for almost as much you bought it for. Land For Sale

You have secured an investment for little and will then hold on to it as it grows for your retirement.

Imagine you are about to tour a farm where cattle are being raised from birth to market on high quality home grown grass and grains.

Welcome to Vogel Farms, a family operated farm located in Kuna. Their specialty is all natural, grain fed pork, beef,eggs and coming soon, poultry.

Unlike animals raised in a feedlot, the cattle have never been confined in close quarters, implanted with hormones, treated routinely with antibiotics or fed any questionable feed ingredients.

They live a good life! Looking out at the fields, you see the cattle, heads down, slowly mowing their way across the pasture.

All of their meat is processed at Meridian Meat and Sausage and is USDA approved. The meat is fresh frozen so you only get the great taste of the pork and beef rather than a mouthful of preservatives!

The chickens are free range (with lots of protection from predators) and the eggs have a deep, natural colored yolks with a real egg taste!

I can personally attest to the great quality and value you will get at this farm. And I’m looking forward to some wonderful chicken and turkey to choose from this fall.

Vogel Farms

The market was full and teaming with locals this morning. And as I found out today, I didn’t get there early enough!!

I wandered in about 11:00 (Opens 9–12) and they had sold out on the most popular items. Tree ripened apricots were gone and so were the first green bean crop. I should know better, with the increase in popularity of this great local market, I need to get moving faster in the morning.

There was still plenty of fresh produce left, baked goods (bless those ladies that turn on the stove in the summer), eggs, lamb, beef, pork and lots of fun crafts. Plus Vogel’s Farms are always cooking up something scrumptious and different.

Today the market featured a group of Irish dancers. Local talent always adds some ambiance to the event.

The market gets better and better every year and people are starting to discover the great produce and fun. Every week promises something different to try and enjoy.

It’s a great place to run into some neighbors and have a cup of joe at the local coffee shop, relax and enjoy the day.

Next week there will be more green beans and perhaps the first crop of Peaches! Better go early.

Kuna’s Farmers Market is found under the big flag in the Sandstone Plaza off of 4^th St. Or if you take Main into downtown, just locate the flag and follow the road to the flag.
