What do I need to know when buying property in Idaho?
When we asked expats what advice they would give a foreigner before buying a property in Idaho, they said:
"When buying property in Idaho, it is important to research the local housing market and any zoning or pre-existing restrictions that could effect your purchase. It is also wise to ensure that the property is properly inspected as well as survey the area to check for any potential issues such as flooding, infrastructure, and road access. Additionally, buyers should be sure to understand all of the applicable taxes, regulations, and homeowners association details before moving forward with a purchase. Finally, it is essential to get detailed documentation regarding the land’s boundaries and potential liens or easements that may affect the property," wrote one expat who made the move to Idaho.
