Prices stabilize, improvements continue…
Tim Bundgard last week sat down with KTVB’s Carolyn Holly to discuss new PTC Index numbers for the month of June. We’ve seen some big improvements last month in terms of average sales pricing, new and existing home sales and a drop in distressed and bank-owned properties. Tim believes that as inventories go down, sales prices will climb, so we’re likely looking at a semblance of pricing stabilization. Tim also told Carolyn that shadow inventories (bank-owned properties) are still in the pipeline and will infiltrate the market during the 4th quarter of 2011. Check out the video above for the full interview and be sure to check out PTCindex.com for full particulars on June numbers as well as previous months.

A Whirlwind Summer!
It’s hard to believe 2010 is more than halfway over and while many of us indulge in BBQs and pool parties, some might be wondering, “How many more shopping days ’till Christmas?” But with the summer in full swing (albeit unseasonably cool), there have been lots of changes here at Pioneer Title Co. June brought the new PTC Index (as featured in the Idaho Business Review and The Idaho Statesman), a whole new website and an office relocation. Here’s the lowdown…

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering research and treatment of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Ranked the No. 1 pediatric cancer hospital by Parents magazine, St. Jude is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children, and has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world. St. Jude has developed research protocols that helped push overall survival rates for childhood cancer from less than 20 percent when the hospital opened to almost 80 percent today. St. Jude is the national coordinating center for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium and the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. In addition to pediatric cancer research, St. Jude is also a leader in sickle cell disease research and is a globally prominent research center for influenza.
Founded in 1962 by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world, publishing more research articles than any other pediatric cancer research center in the United States. St. Jude treats more than 5,400 patients each year and is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. St. Jude is financially supported by thousands of individual donors, organizations and corporations without which the hospital’s work would not be possible. In 2010, St. Jude was ranked the most trusted charity in the nation in a public survey conducted by Harris Interactive, a highly respected international polling and research firm.
