The "Saturday Morning" matcher

Lifestyle audit — pick your top 3 non-negotiables

Pick your TOP 3. If you check more than 3, you haven't made the hard trade-offs yet.

Part 2

The "hidden cost" calculator

Financial audit — this is where you save $20,000

Idaho Homeowner's Exemption

Saves you thousands every year. Miss the deadline and you overpay — there is no grace period.

Your home budget:

2026 exemption cap: $125,000

Your taxable value: $475,000

Est. annual tax savings: ~$1,250/yr

Your true monthly payment calculator

Zillow's "estimated payment" is wrong. This shows what you'll actually write a check for each month — principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA, and PMI if it applies.

Home price:

Down payment (%):

Interest rate (%):

Loan term:

HOA ($/mo):

Principal & interest —

Property tax (w/ exemption) —

Homeowner's insurance (est.) —

HOA —

PMI (under 20% down) —

Your actual monthly payment —

The irrigation trap

The #1 hidden cost nobody warns out-of-state buyers about. Ask this question BEFORE you fall in love with a listing.

Does your target home have pressurized irrigation?

YES = ~$30/mo water bill in summer
NO = $200–$300+/mo water bill in summer
That's a $2,000+/year difference — over a 30-year ownership, real money.

The fire insurance threat

Foothills buyers — read this twice. Some carriers flat-out will not insure homes in Wildland-Urban Interface zones.

Are you looking in the Boise Foothills, NE Boise, or any Wildland-Urban Interface zone?

If yes → get a homeowner's insurance quote within the first 48 hours of your inspection period. You need to know BEFORE you waive contingencies. Some properties are uninsurable at any price.

Part 3

The 2026 inspection pre-mortem

Infrastructure audit — the traps Zillow hides

Your "information inspection" script

Use this in multiple-offer situations to win without waiving your protection:

"We will complete our inspection for informational purposes only. We will not ask for repairs under $______. However, we reserve the right to terminate the contract if the inspection reveals material defects including but not limited to: structural, foundation, sewer, roof, or environmental issues that exceed $______ in estimated repair cost."

This tells the seller: "We won't nickel-and-dime you, but we're not buying a money pit." It wins offers without waiving your protection.

Part 4

The 5-day scouting itinerary

Execution audit — what to actually do when you fly out

Ready to talk?

Don't fly blind into a 30-year mortgage.
