Idaho's Housing Market Called Over-Heated

Guess who has the most over-valued housing costs in the nation? My dad always had an answer for Captain Obvious, “You get three guesses and the first two don’t count!” It’s Boise, according to a story from Fortune. Neighboring Utah has three of the top ten overheated markets. Which means sandwiched in between, Twin Falls is likely overheated as well. The market simply isn’t large enough to join the survey.

A friend is actually renting an RV to an employee because housing costs elsewhere would force the woman to move away and find another job.

Real estate websites are mixed about prices anytime soon coming down. Unlike the bubble of 2006 when there were too many available homes, there are now too few. In 2006, builders were putting up 1.7 million houses a month. Now it’s just 1.2 million. Also, keep in mind, Utah and Idaho are per capita the fastest growing states in the union. In other words, the market will remain hot well into the future.

Are there options? Business Insider features a story about a guy living out of a 27 foot RV. He rented his home and works from the road. He suggests you can also save some serious money by living in the RV and shopping at Costco.

We’ve mentioned before there are people renting out space to RV owners and in some cases against local ordinances, however. Government has been hesitant to get in the way because nobody wants to drive people into a homeless encampment in Rock Creek Canyon.

Considering the labor shortage, many employers may be looking for creative means to house workers.

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

Read on to see which pets are banned in your home state, as well as across the nation.
