About Payette County, ID

I have just listed 10 S 20th Street in Payette Idaho. Payette is on the Idaho/Oregon border and is an hour from Boise - it has a population of 7400. Payette was the "big " town when I was growing up - there are beautiful parks and the Payette River goes through town and joins the Snake at the NW edge. "Above the ditch" east of Highway 95 is the traditional nicest area and this home is surrounded by nice older homes.

The sellers are both ill and one is elderly, there are some financial issues and the property needs some repairs and updating or restoring.

This is reflected in the price. It is a short sale at $80000 or a normal sale at $92000. For that you get .61 of an acre with a 2600 square foot home, a double car detached garage, and a nice 600 square foot shop/studio.

I just changed my profile photo to one of me working the Democratic booth at Malheur County's fair. This is actual proof that a realtor is a Democrat! One of the things our clients expect is that we are informed on the local issues that we'll all be voting on in November along with the big national votes. I applaud the realtors who serve on local planning and zoning commissions. I think I'll name names so our local ones get the credit they deserve. These are present and recent past realtors serving in our area on the border of Idaho and Oregon. In Oregon, Larry Wilson, Coldwell Banker Malheur Realty, Tom Phillips, Tom Phillips Realty. In Idaho, Brent King Remax Tri-Cities, Vickie Cox Premier Group, Barb Hutchinson Premier Group. Let's all remember to mention to our clients to remember to vote. This is especially easy in Oregon where the voters enacted VOTE BY MAIL. All elections are mail in (or drop off) so we'll start voting very soon now!
