Population, Migration, and you’re there sitting on the fence?
We all live here for many different reasons, but we choose to live in the Treasure Valley overwhelmingly because of quality of life. Recreation, business opportunities, a great place to raise children, a community of genuinely outstanding citizens who help each other – in short we live in the best town in the United States. But guess what – the secret is out and other like minded people are moving here from rural Idaho as well as other states.
So what does this mean to you…you already live here and you don’t really want to share it! Well, trust me, it’s better to share it than to watch it stagnate or die. The opportunities that will be presented to you over the coming years would not be possible if it were not for people coming to our beautiful Treasure Valley – in the long run growth will make this a better place for you and I to live.
The major benefit is to the economy of our great valley. Many of the folks who are moving here are bringing small businesses with them – this means diversification – which is a good thing to you and me. By diversifying our base economy, it creates an insulator to the large employers who have struggles. Be having an economy that is rooted in multiple sectors, we are better off in the long run. If the mill closes the town doesn’t die…it continues on. This is termed creative destruction – by one business failing, 3 more are created and that’s a good thing!
So, how many people are moving here? Well in 2006 it was estimated that 559,095 folks called the Treasure Valley home. The projections look to 593,010 by 2010. That means that approximately a net increase of 24 people move to the valley each day!
And you’re sitting on the fence on weather to buy a new home today? With this type of in-migration, and the fact that home prices have never been better, coupled with the fact that overall home supply numbers are down – NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY!
But don’t take my word on it – do the research yourself. Look at the opportunities that exist today that didn’t exist 10 years ago. Look at the quality of your life now compared to then. There are so many wonderful and exciting things happening in the Treasure Valley, new shopping, new restaurants, new parks, new schools – this is the absolute best time to live here!
But if you don’t buy a home and become a part of the community – you’ll miss out. Appreciation WILL happen – your home WILL go up in value – but you have to take the first step – you need to step up to the plate and be committed!
Do you know what would happen if everyone in the country who could buy a house went out today and bought one? All of a sudden the newspapers couldn’t print headlines about a recession – all of a sudden the economy would rocket back to the top! It’s up to us – the everyday citizens – we control our own economy and our own fate! Be a part of something that is bigger than you – join the community and start to build long-term lasting wealth! Get out there and buy a house today – you will be absolutely glad that you did. And for those of you who don’t buy today – you absolutely will be kicking yourself five years from now because you will have missed it.
THE BOTTOM IS NOW – GET IN TODAY!.
