Sell your house!

Here we are in August already!  Can’t complain about the weather, especially when you look at the extreme temperatures in much of the country. The beach is a wonderful place to be.

If you’re a seller, or want to be a seller, there’s still plenty of time to take advantage of the good weather, tourists and the low interest rates (as of today, at a record low for 2011.  The 30-year fixed averaged 4.39 %.  The 15-year fixed &  5-year ARM set new historical record lows with an average of 3.54% and 3.18% , respectively.)

But there are a lot of things you can do to make your house be the one at the top of a buyer’s list.  Here’s a “top ten” list that might give you an edge over all those other listings!

Changes have been made to Discovery Coast Real Estate’s website! You can now search for WATERFRONT/WATERVIEW, HOMES UNDER $100K, and CONDOS with one quick click!  And don’t forget you can search the NEWEST LISTINGS, EXCLUSIVE LISTINGS and by CITY.

Lots of fun stuff to do this month:  Jake the Alligator Man’s Birthday, Jazz & Oysters, Blues & Seafood, Oregon Tuna Classic, Kite Festival… plus Summerfest, Farmer’s Market, Saturday Market at the Port of Ilwaco, Art Walk and more.  Better check out Funbeach and schedule your vacation time!

Where have I been and why haven’t I posted?

Well, I just feel terrible for being so remiss. June is slipping away and summer starts in a few days (at least according to the calendar!).

  I was fortunate to spend a week in Salem at Willamette University for the Association of NW Weavers’ Guilds conference. Workshops, lectures, vendors, fashion shows, and lots of fun. We had a great showing of our local guild members. Many of you know that I’m a weaver/spinner/knitter in my spare time. This week away fed my soul. If you’d like to know more about weaving and spinning locally, The Clatsop Weavers and Spinners Guild would love to talk to you.  Just ask me!

   And this past weekend, on June 12, I co-chaired and participated in the 3rd Annual Fore the Furrballs golf tournament benefiting the South Pacific County Humane Society. This wonderful no-kill shelter receives no public funds and relies on the generous support of caring people and businesses.  And we were overwhelmed with the generosity this year!  Thank you to everyone who donated, participated and volunteered.  A special thank you to Peninsula Golf Course and managers Jim & Sondra Eaton.

What else?  Oh, real estate!  I hope everyone visits Discovery Coast Real Estate often because there are new listings every day!  You can check the most recent listings and browse listings for the entire state.  You don’t need to register but if you do, you can receive email updates, save your searches and just have lots of fun. 

If you’re looking for a screaming deal, we just reduced the price on 13 lots in Surfside.  Two groups of contiguous lots (6 in one group, 7 in the other) zoned Multi-Family & Commercial. Surfside is close to all the amenities of the big city, but a peaceful haven for residents. Build townhomes, condos, or single family residences. There is a potential for partial ocean views from some lots. The golf course is steps away and it’s a short, easy walk to the ocean.  Developers – now’s the time!

So much to do coming up that I can’t hope to keep you posted.  Please visit Funbeach for all the exciting news!
