4863 Cuprum Coeur D'Alene

Jerry and I were so excited about this house, that we were considering making an offer without even seeing the house, for ourselves. Jerry's sister, Joni and husband August walked through the house while narrating to us. The items mentioned that made us decide not to select this home was: Main Living floor looked out into the backyard of neighbor, decking was not trex decking and would be high maintenance, five (5) steps from house into garage and back into the house.

The link below will take you to the information about this house and all the photos available.

12715 N. Yearling Circle Hayden, IDaho

This is a really beautiful home and we would be really interested in the property except that it is 8.3 miles north of Joni. We are still considering the home, but ideally want to be closer in to Coeur D'Alene.

1446 E. Bruin Loop, Hayden, IDaho

This home is bank owned, but has not been completed. In addition needs Landscaping, sprinklers etc. Jerry's sister Joni has viewed the property and said it was very nice. If this property is still available when we visity in July we will want to see the property and make a determination if we want to consider it. The property is a little further north of Joni than we really want to be. However, Joni says... it's closer than we are right now.! She has a point.

Coeur D' Alene, IDAHO - House Hunting

As many of you know for years Jerry and I have been planning to someday move up to Northern Idaho, Coeur D'Alene, ID. After a difficult and rough health year, for Jerry, we have decided it's time for Jerry "wind down" and retire. I was forced into early retirement when I was laid off in September, 2008, from my employer of 11+ years. After supporting Jerry through chemo therapy, having shoulder surgery myself we are now working towards downsizing (California) and preparation for moving sometime around this time next year. We decided to take advantage of the recession and purchase our home now, while prices are down. It doesn't make sense for me to try to find a job in California. Unemployment at a record high and trying to compete with the younger people and the competition also looking for a job. I will wait until we have found a home in Idaho, have numerous garage sales getting rid of 30+ years of accumulation and Jerry needs to dig into the boat port, his garage and all the other places Jerry finds to hide his treasures (aka junk). We are planning to head up to Coeur D' Alene the 1st of July and actually physically look at properties. In the mean time, I am looking on the Internet, Jerry and I are carefully reviewing the properties and Joni and August are going with our agent to preview the properties and report back to us. There are a few properties that we have really liked, but there have been things we didn't like so we continue to look.
