Review of Meridian, Idaho


Housing slump
Star Rating - 9/9/2007
Home values that ran up in the sky are now falling and still people are not buying. There is a huge inventory of homes in the area and it is a nervous time for new construction as well as trying to get out of high mkortagae payments coupled with the fact that many are upside down.. The upside of moving here is that you may be able to pick up a distressed sale or foreclosure. The whole area (Boise) needs an influx of higher paying manufacturing jobs and its related research and development. Most of the jobs
here are service related(do ya want to supersize that?) and are not high paying..

I'm moving to Boise/Meridian and got a GREAT deal on a nice, new home. It's brand new, but it was built over a year ago and the builder has been unable to sell it. The builder came down on his original listing price by $60,000 in an effort to sell it. That worked out well for me! Glad to say that I'll be able to contribute a little more to the community as i have a well-paying federal job here, no McDonalds for me! :)
