Today I want to do something a little different. Instead of talking about the real estate market, I want to talk about the restaurant market here in Idaho Falls. I’m a list-keeper, so when I come across a place I love I put it on a list so that I can pull it up later for future reference. Here are some of the best places on my list around town. Hopefully you find something new!

If you’re looking for some fine dining, there are a number of spots around Idaho Falls you need to visit. When I was growing up here, the selection wasn’t near what it is today. In the last five years, we’ve seen some fantastic, inventive new restaurants open up.

One of them is Chef Shane’s Perspective. When you walk in, you're not quite sure what to expect. However, when the food comes, you’ll know exactly where you are: a delicious restaurant.The Cellar is another classic. I’ve only been there a few times, but I’ve never walked away disappointed. Finally, we have Copper Rill. All three of these places are great if you’re looking for delicious food, whether it’s a special occasion or not.

As far as casual dining goes, I’ve got a few local favorites to share. SnakeBite is one of the best, just make sure you bring cash because they do not take credit cards. Trust me, the food is worth it.

"Make sure you have cash if you're going to SnakeBite."

Stockman’s and Pit Master are also good bets. I’d give Abracadabra’s a shot too if you’re looking for something new.

If you’re looking for something healthy, my wife’s favorite spot is Arugula’s Deli. They've got healthy, fresh food that’s made with all-natural ingredients.

If you’re looking for something on the opposite end of the healthy spectrum, Franklin’s Famous Cheesesteaks is the perfect cheat meal.

If you have any questions about any of these restaurants or anything else relating to Idaho Falls real estate, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I would love to hear from you.

Where Is Our Market Headed This Fall?

As we move into the end of the year, let’s take a look at how our market is faring. Right now, we’re still in a strong seller’s market.

It’s been awhile since we’ve taken a look at our recent market numbers. So today, I’m bringing you a market update.

As summer comes to an end, a lot of people begin to wonder where the market is headed. If you are one of those people and would like to receive monthly market updates from my team and I, we would be happy to send you out our real estate market overview report.

For now, let’s move on to our latest update. Right now, we have two months of inventory. This has been the case for a while, and we’re still definitely in a seller’s market. In order for us to see a balanced market, the inventory would need to rise up to five months.

The good news is that low inventory points to a strong economy. It means that buyers are confident and ready to make purchases. As a result, homes are moving very quickly off the market, with homes under $200,000 selling especially fast.

In fact, homes in that price range are closer to a one month supply. Even homes up to $400,000 are seeing just about two months.

"Buyers are confident and ready to make purchases."

If you happen to be listing in either of these ranges right now, my team and I would love to help you. No one else invests in driving traffic to your listing the way we do.

But, buyers shouldn’t feel discouraged. There are still a lot of great opportunities out there for those who are looking instead of listing. Interest rates are great right now and listings are coming on the market all the time. Our team has three incredible buyer’s agents who are here to help.

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
