Five Tips to Enjoying Sun Valley, Idaho!



With summer upon us, and so much to do in the Sun Valley, ID area. We compiled 5 tips for you to enjoy Sun Valley to its fullest.

1. Rent a bicycle to ride around town. We are a biker friendly community, and you will be able to see much more of our small town, including shops, restaurants, locals, and amazing scenery.

2. Take the gondola to Roundhouse for lunch. Get a birds' eye view of our town and the surrounding mountain ranges by sitting on the deck at roundhouse and enjoying the quick ride in the gondola.

3. Take a free fly-fishing class. Put on by Sturtevants and Sun Valley Mountain Guides every Tuesday night in the summer. All abilities are welcome, just meet in Atkinson's Park in Ketchum.

4. Hike the White Clouds Trails. To get a better view and a little exercise, this great loop of trails is right out the door of the Sun Valley Lodge. It circles around the White Clouds Golf course, giving you views of Sun Valley, Ketchum, Dollar and Bald Mountain.

5. Ice Skate at the Sun Valley Lodge. Don't miss skating on one of the few year-round outdoor ice rinks. Take a lesson, make some laps, or just watch from ring side!

Luxury Home Staging: Visualize Your Buyer's Lifestyle for a Turn Key Purchase

Visualize your buyer and their perfect new life in your home.  It's important for the seller to create a reflection of the desired lifestyle of their potential buyer. When the seller is able to detach themselves from their emotional imprint of the home an opportunity to create a turn key sale becomes possible. Luxury real estate buyers want to feel as if they are moving into their new home and not your old home and lifestyle.  The luxury real estate purchaser wants the latest trend in interior finishes and furnishings.  Offer them both and you have a turn key purchase.


Invest in a "plan" that outlines the demographic of the individual or family that can afford the location and size of your home.  Invest in the finish and furnishing upgrades that match the current market trend.  Stay neutral, classic, rich, luxurious.  Use a professional designer to implement a design that will sell!  The luxury home buyer wants ease.  They travel, they have other homes, they want a turn key experience.  Give it to them and get the return on your investment in the purchase price.  It's a Win Win!
