FINALLY SOLD!

My oldest listing!  It just goes to show that there’s

a buyer for every property – don’t give up hope!

This is a quick summary of the real estate market from September 1 through October 15.  These figures are based on Northwest MLS listed properties.

There were 23 single family home sales (which includes condos and townhomes).  The average price was $137,853 with the median being $110,000.  Prices ranged from $21,500 ( a condo) to $387,500.  The average days on market was 266.

Vacant land is still lagging behind.  Just 7 sales ranging in price from $7,500 to $150,000. 

Are you still kicking yourself for missing out on the tax credit for home buyers?  Don’t just give up – sellers are highly motivated and interest rates are incredibly low.  All of this can add up to a bigger savings than you would have gotten next April!  Come see Discovery Coast Real Estate today and see how easy it is to save money!

EUROPEAN VACATION – the final chapter will be published this week.  Who knew there’d be so many other things to do when we returned?

According to the National Association of Realtors, existing home sales were up in February which is good news for everyone, even though over 40% of those sales were “distressed sales”.    First time buyers accounted for a good bit of the action after the $8,000 tax credit was announced, purchasing about 50% of the homes sold.

greenfishswimAnd for some local good news, Butch Smith, from the Ilwaco Charter Association, reports the Salmon season opens on June 28th this year and will run for 7 days a week! It is predicted to be a great season. Buoy 10 is also supposed to be excellent, with over 1.1 million fish coming back this year. Halibut season will open on May 1 (Friday) this year, but will only be 3 days/week: Thursday, Friday & Saturday until the quota is reached.  Sturgeon season will open on May 9 and continue through June 28, with a bonus of July 2,3, and 4.

On the subject of salmon, Butch Smith, President of the Ilwaco Charter Association, reports that this should be the best ocean salmon season since 2001.
clamDon’t forget clamming is tentatively scheduled for this weekend along with the annual Bluegrass Festival.
