Are you ever amazed at the amount of information and tools available to you on the Internet? I love finding websites that give me useful and free information. I have dozens of my favorite sites bookmarked and I thought I would share with you what I consider the must have sites if you’re searching for real estate in the Boise Idaho area.

Ada County Assessor Website – You can search for a parcel and find:

Current and past tax information like assessed value, annual taxes, and levies.
Residential and lot characteristics (square footage, lot size, zoning, etc).
Aerial photos. This is my favorite and most used feature, if you select: “view interactive map,” an aerial photo comes up highlighting the parcel boundaries. You can even select the measurement tool and measure the lot dimensions on the photo, create PDF’s, etc.

Alliance Title CCR & Plat Map Search – You can search almost all the counties in Idaho. Other title companies have a similar feature but Alliance seems to have the most complete database.

BoiseRealEstatePlus.com – My goal is to provide you a complete resource for real estate in the Boise Idaho area. Some of the most useful things you can find on my site are:

Free, no registration Boise MLS searching by map or advanced search.
Search only Idaho short sales.
Get a list of bank-owned real estate that meet your exact specifications.
Stay up-to-date on market statistics.
Sign up for email alerts and have new listings that meet your exact criteria delivered to your inbox.
