dealing with the cold, ice, and snow gets old for many people.
Not disagreeing. Just sharing insight on what made winters enjoyable for me after I moved.
Personally, my goal is to have a condo on the beach for winter and a cabin here for the summers eventually. Hope all is well.

Haha, I'm counting down the days to winter. I'm a regular at Bogus Basin and Tamarack. The last 2-3 weeks have been miserable for me with highs regularly above the 100s. I'm in the Boise, Idaho area.

As much time as I have spent in ID, I have never been to Boise. I would probably like it, and seems like a nice base camp for the mountains.

We are at 43 straight days of triple digits. I don't think we have had measurable rain in 120 days now. I'm over it.
Setup my week visit of the Boise and Twin Falls area for mid September. I will see how it goes.

Not that any one cares, but I thought I would bump this to give an update. After a few trips to Twin Falls, Idaho the past months for work and to check out the area. We decided to start house shopping in Jan.
The market in Twin Falls is nuts, houses are going within 24 hours with multiple offers hours after listings. We visited in person in January to view some houses. From Jan 6 to last week we offered on 12 houses and lost them all. 6 were cash offers.
Last week we finally got one accepted. So we are getting out of Vegas and off to Idaho in a month. Excited to not have a house 1 foot away from my neighbors and have some land.
Apparently everyone and their mother is moving to Idaho though.

thanks for the bump! any reason you decided on twin falls over other areas in southern idaho? you will have an easy drive to sun valley!
we are still focusing on boise because of the ease of access, outdoor and cultural amenities, and as a base camp from which to head up 55 or out on 21. have our eyes on garden city along the greenbelt, eagle, and cartwright ranch in the foothills.
we had been looking at idaho falls (and even places further afield like swan valley), but there aren't quite as many mountain biking and multi-use trails (which we use like every day here in phoenix to run and ride).
the wood river valley is our happy place, but nobody can afford that. luckily our house in phoenix keeps increasing in value, and is outpacing the rise in real estate prices in idaho. i know tons of people are moving to idaho, but there are already lots in phoenix, and more moving in all the time. so i think we won't mind the trade : ) best wishes on your move!

I vacation quit a bit in the Ketchum/Sun Valley area. Beautiful. Do not underestimate the cold.
Most of Idaho doesn't get as cold as Ketchum/Sun Valley/Stanley. Even places like Sandpoint, which is at the top of the panhandle is much warmer.

We looked at Boise, Twin and Pocatello. Boise housing is pretty crazy right now too and more expensive for the same house you can get in Twin.
We liked Twin as it had the small town feel but checked off all the boxes of essentials we were looking for. Also a long days drive to Vegas to get back to see family and friends.
I can work from anywhere and it has a regional airport to get me to SLC (as I fly Delta) and less than 2 hour drive to Boise.
We gave ourselves two years and if we don't like it we will move on, but I have a feeling we will enjoy it. It has everything we are looking for. My daughter is 3 now, so we wanted something more family friendly for her too.

thanks for the bump on this thread
I just blindly applied for 2 jobs last week in Boise. Nothing yet, but it was a start of an action that we have been putting off. It surprised the wife, but she seems down with it now. No idea if anything will ever come from it. I'll keep looking though.
The housing market in Boise is insane though. We would have to live in one of the outer burbs.
I love Idaho. Me and my family would summer in Stanley during the summers when I was a kid. So many fond memories.

After losing 12 offers - 6 to cash and one where I went $25K over asking, I asked my realtor if this was normal. She of course said no, the past 6 months has been nuts.
But she then said "Boise is worse, but at least they have more inventory"

The median list price in Meridian, Idaho went from $377,000 to $467,000 in the 11 months that I've owned my house. I thought I was surely going to get screwed buying just before the pandemic hit.

I’m looking into Boise, meridian and eagle.
I have 2 kids - 5 and 3.
Scheduled to take a trip up there in a month. Can you share some insight on the area?

The whole region is going crazy unfortunately.
A lot of people from California and New York.
I’m worried these people will stick around.

You could tell my relator was feeling me out the first time we talked on the phone and met in person.
She said alot of the cash offers they are seeing are California people.

Boomers complaining about Californians moving to desirable states, all while salivating on leaving undesirable states like Louisiana. You can’t make this stuff up.

I guess you're saying California is an undesirable state.

I’m not saying California is an undesirable state. I think the cost of living there is undesirable, but it’s a great state to visit. To see people bitch about others for moving to places like Idaho and Montana, yet they’re moving as well because their home states are shitty, is what many would consider hypocritical.

Maybe
I didn’t come to Montana to change it.

So are you implying that states with low costs of living are desirable? Is that why you left that shithole Louisiana 100 years ago?
