Idaho offers captivating scenery and fishing spots, as well as fun outdoor excursions. Let’s explore and appreciate some of Idaho’s finest highlights as 2024 begins.
Start the Year with Wonderful Winter Events
Ski Wallace’s annual Extreme SkiJor contest, from February 16th through 18th, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and fire shows at The Ice Palace take winter fun to the next level. And don’t miss out on this year’s McCall Winter Carnival, from February 23rd through 25th!
Steady Real Estate Market
Idaho’s real estate market remains fairly stable. However, November 2023 data from Redfin reveals that Twin Falls stands out as the city with the fastest-growing sales price. Also, the past year saw a decline in the number of homes available for sale across the state. This shift suggests the market is tipping in favor of sellers.
