Idaho's Stay Home Order and What It Means For Realtors and Clients
The Idaho State Governor's Statewide Stay-Home Order allows certain real estate activities to continue as "essential infrastructure". What does this mean for Idaho Realtors® and clients?
Please note, this information is accurate as of this article's posting time, March 27th, 2020, at 12:00pm. The situation is very dynamic and is subject to change.
Idaho State Governor Little's statewide Stay-Home Order, effective as of 1:30pm March 25th, 2020, through at least midnight April 15th, 2020, "requires Idaho residents to stay and work from home as much as possible while ensuring all essential services and businesses remain available."
The order lists the "transfer and sale of real estate" as essential infrastructure, however in-person home showings are not considered essential.
What does this mean? Idaho REALTORS® provides clarification on the order:
For many of you this means you will be able to show properties on an individual basis. You must adhere to all of the social distancing and additional requirements in the order.
We are interpreting the order to prohibit traditional open houses as historically conducted.
Even when accessing or using essential services, people are still required to maintain appropriate social distancing (six feet) and hygiene practices (washing your hands etc.)
