- Moving to Idaho, pros and cons.
Living in Idaho, pros and cons.
Let's talk about that next!
Hi there, hey.
Treasure Valley Dave here, Dave Edwards.
And today I wanna talk about the pros and cons
of moving to Idaho, pros and cons of living in Idaho.
And I wasn't sure exactly what course
this particular video was gonna take.
There's so many things out there that we could talk about.
The 15 best things to do in Boise,
and the top 10 things to see and do,
the top 12 rated tourist attractions,
the 15 best things to do in Boise,
top 10 reasons to love living in Idaho.
And those are all absolutely great.
But with what's going on right now, I think we need
to take just a slightly different direction on this.
I want to talk about, I have some friends, clients,
that are living out-of-state.
And the stuff that they're going through,
it just boggles my mind.
I have some people on the East Coast
in a New England state, and their city,
the mayor and the council just past an ordinance
that fined people $10,000 for violating the mayor's orders.
Doesn't matter if it's constitutional or not.
You know, when someone, when the mayor's cops
come to your house with their guns drawn,
doesn't matter what's constitutional.
Oregon, Washington, California.
I talk with people in those states all the time
and they're just besides themselves with what's going on.
They're locked down, they can't leave,
they have no freedom of movement.
If they do go to the store, the shelves are taped off
so you can't buy, you know, a car seat for your kid,
shoes, all you can buy is certain things
that are approved by the state government.
I've got a friend that's in California
and here's a picture of his backyard.
He so desperately wants to sell his property
and move up here, but the homeless have moved in.
And there's not a thing that he can do about it.
The city doesn't do anything.
The cops come by only to see if any homeless people
had died overnight, and that's it.
So this guy's property has got this problem
caused by whoever, but it's not being fixed
by those that are supposed to be fixing it.
And what can you do?
Well, what you can do is move to Idaho.
And why is that?
Well a couple reasons.
One, we just had this big protest.
The governor came out a couple days ago
and said he's extending the lockdown for Idaho
until the end of April,
but he's letting more businesses come back online
if they can comply with social distancing
and things like that.
And so what did the people here do?
They went down to the State Capitol yesterday
and had this huge protest.
They had well over 1000 people down there.
And they got the attention of our leaders.
I'm pretty sure the governor's thinking that
he'd better find a solution, a conclusion to this
because yeah, we might have this virus
that by the numbers maybe isn't as bad
as some other things that could be going on,
but the things that we do know
is that the rights and freedoms
of freedom-loving Idahoans are being impacted.
And freedom-loving Idahoans,
they're not all that thrilled with having that impacted.
What's another great reason about moving here?
So these other places,
I've been talking to real estate agents
and their markets are a little shaky.
Some are starting to have that, the dip,
where prices are falling.
There's an industry analyst that recently came out
within the last week with his report
for people in the industry so they can make
informed decisions about how to run their businesses.
And this report shows that the Boise-Nampa housing market
is gonna be the strongest of the entire country
when you include what's happened recently
with the coronavirus.
7.6% housing appreciation
price valuation estimate over the next 12 months.
There's no other part of the country
that's even close to that, and,
but number three is also an Idaho city.
I thought that was kinda cool too.
But there's other parts of the country,
a lot of parts of the country
where those numbers are actually negative
and going down and down and down.
So what does a strong housing market mean?
That means you've got a strong economic base going on.
You've got jobs, you've got creation, you've got growth.
There's people that want to be here.
Why is Boise gonna be the hottest market?
Because, well I mean it's beautiful here
but there's a lot of beautiful places across the country.
It's because our government here listens to our people,
people have the right to go out there
and make some noise about it.
And the governor, government pays attention.
So living in Idaho pros and cons.
Pros, freedom, and a great economic outlook.
And those two are tied together.
So maybe next time,
maybe when the mood's a little bit lighter
we'll talk about those top 10 reasons for this
and the seven things I love about that.
But for right now, you know,
the stuff's hit the fan and we really need to consider
what are we gonna do for our families and our future
and I wanna give you guys the suggestion
that Idaho is a place that you really need to check out.
So if you found this useful, informative, thought-provoking,
please go ahead and share, like and subscribe.
Make sure you get notified of all the new videos
that come out twice a week.
And also, share with your friends because
we wanna get more freedom-loving Idahoans up here in Idaho
and I'm really looking forward to helping you get home.
