Flexible Existing Market. Sellers with homes that have been on the market all summer will be more willing to negotiate on the purchase of your new home. Getting a good deal on your new home empowers you to make strategic decisions in the selling of your former home.
Less Seller Competition. By listing in September or October, you have less competition for buyer attention. This means you are less likely to have to compromise on your listing price.
Natural Curb Appeal. The changing leaves make a home look cozy and comfortable as buyers start thinking of the cooler weather.
Buyers are Serious. Fall and Winter are when the most serious of buyers are in the market for a new place to call home.

Livability.com Lists Top Best Places to Live in 2019
Livability.com shares the 2019 top best places to live. Our home town, Boise Idaho, is listed number 1. According to their website, Livability showcases America’s best places to live, covering research-driven topics about communities around the country through engaging stories, photography and video.
Take a walk around this year’s #1 city and ask people where they’re from, and chances are you’ll meet a lot of recent transplants from places like Portland, the Bay Area and New York. That’s no coincidence.
Boise has become a magnet for people looking for a tight-knit community, great job opportunities, easy access to the outdoors — and perhaps most importantly, a much lower cost of living than many larger and comparably sized cities.
Young families are drawn to Boise because it’s one of the safest cities in the world. In addition, Boise’s combination of affordability and do-it-yourself spirit make it the perfect place for creatives (check out the awesome comedy scene), entrepreneurs and startups. The tech scene here is growing fast, with new talent flocking to the city, eager to find a work-life balance that allows for plenty of fresh air and adventure. Boise has appeared on Livability’s Top 100 Best Places to Live ranking every year since the list’s inception, but this is the city’s first — and well-deserved — appearance in the #1 spot.

Jessica’s article goes on to inform people from Illinois they may want to move to the more tax-friendly state of Alaska, but if you’re not sure about moving to the land of the midnight sun you might consider moving to Idaho. We are also on the list of the Top 10 most tax-friendly states.

If you want
a break from taxes, move to one of these states.

GOBankingRates conducted a study that determined the most tax-friendly states for the middle class by looking at the shares of certain income taxes paid by the middle 20 percent of income earners in 30 different states. If you’re in the middle class and hurting due to taxes, it’s worth it to know the best states for the middle class.
Even if you earn a decent middle-class salary, all of the state and local income taxes you have to pay can eat away at your bottom line, leaving you with less money in your pocket than you’d like. But not all states are equal when it comes to the amount of taxes you’ll pay due to owning property, buying goods or having to submit to a personal income tax. The best states for taxes, as well as the worst, exist.
