While some kids, teachers and educational support staff have already started back to school, the summer is still filled with summertime activities. One of the largest and most attended is the Western Idaho State Fair. The Fair is an affordable activity with something for everyone - check it out this year! Looking for something unique to do? Head for the Boise Goathead Fest. A fun time and an opportunity to take part in helping get rid of those nasty goatheads!
Have you recently moved? Or, maybe have some home projects that involve hanging items? Give Happy Hangers a call - I did, and couldn't be happier with the work the did in my home.
Thinking about new construction? Increased inventories often turn into increased savings for buyers!
Be Well... And, Enjoy the Summer Winddown!

Key Market Takeaways for Ada County...
- The median sales price in Ada County got a slight reprieve in July 2023 at $540,000 — which eased by $5,000 compared to the previous month. This marks the first slide in MSP since March 2023. New construction cooled by approximately $12,000 in July where existing/resale eased by $1.
-
The glacial effects on new construction’s median sales price were likely affected by the sector’s increase in inventory. New builds saw a month-over-month boost of 8.9% — reaching a total of 601 homes for July 2023 — taking the lead over existing home inventory accumulation which landed at 7.0% more than the previous month. A 2.5% month-over-month increase in mortgage rates may have also contributed to ebbed pricing.
- As consumers tread carefully, sales for single-family homes have slowed to 655 this month after three months of consecutive increases — split by 458 existing homes and 197 new construction sales. Newly built homes were the only sector to experience positive growth compared to the same month last year at 14.5%.
- Market options continue to remain elusive where homes last an average of 23 days on market and the months’ supply of inventory is currently 2.3. This could look up in future months as pending sales have slipped in July by 5.7% compared to June 2023. Resale saw the slimmest shift, down 0.4% month-over-month and 6.3% year-over-year. New construction experienced a more significant dip at 10.7% when comparing consecutive months and 33.7% compared to the previous year.

Western Idaho
State Fair

It's that time of year... time for the Western Idaho Fair at Expo Idaho from August 18 - 27.
|
|
Some Fair Facts...
- The Fair's history dates back to 1897 where it started as the Intermountain Fair.
- The first location was west of the city at the Idaho Agricultural Park, known at present day as 21st Street between State and Idaho. The park was the site of the Fair in the fall of 1897 and a grandstand was built that looked over a scene of the majestic mountains.
- In 1902, the Idaho Intermountain Fair Association moved to the corner of Fairview and Orchard.
- The last and final move was to Glenwood Street and Chinden Boulevard in 1967, when the Fair assumed its current name of Western Idaho Fair.
- Since the mid-1980s, the Western Idaho Fair has been independent of any taxpayer support. Entitled an “enterprise fund,” it is entirely self-funded.
- In 2003 officials renamed the property “Expo Idaho” in order to attract more business to the facility during offseason (non-fair) months.
- More than 250,000 people attend Western Idaho Fair each year.

The Boise Goathead Fest is a wonderfully weird celebration of Boise's bicycle culture & goathead removal around the city. This one-day festival kicks off with an eccentric pedal-powered parade. Festival-goers dress up in their favorite kooky costume, bring their person-powered ride (bikes, rollerblades, scooters, etc.), and roll with Boise Bicycle Project and thousands of others through the streets of downtown Boise! After the parade, the festival grounds are filled with live music, artwork, funky bikes, food trucks, and beer from Lost Grove Brewing.
Saturday, August 19

As many of you know, my husband Ron and I bought a new home last November. And, with a new home comes the task of hanging things. While some may want to tackle this chore on their own, we wanted to leave it to a professional. I'm so happy we found, Happy Hanger! Who knew there was a company out there devoted solely to hanging things. Whether you've recently moved to a new home, or just have a few things that need to be done, Happy Hanger can be a valuable resource in getting it done right.
