Welcome Summer!

I’ve been enjoying the sunshine when Mother Nature allows it to shine here at the beach.  Although it has been cloudy, the weather has been comfortable and the rain is warmer!

Be sure to check our newest exclusive listing in Seaview!

img_0015 We enjoyed our MG Rally and while we didn’t take any prizes, we did come in less than 3 minutes behind first place!  Plenty of rain as we navigated our way from Wilsonville to Fort Columbia here at the beach.

So Much To Do!

Everything!, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl


Well, the “season” really starts this weekend!  So many fun things to do, see, enjoy at the beach.

Here’s a start:

Ilwaco, WA-Saturday Market at the Port of Ilwaco kicks off the 2009 season one week early on April 25 to celebrate the Tall Ships in Port, the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain.

Market vendors will highlight modern day equivalents of the items traded between the Chinook Tribe and American and European fur traders during the late 1700s and 1800s-beads, blue cloth and smoked salmon. Crow Creek Designs specializes in exquisite hand turned wooden beads and pendant jewelry. Multi-colored glass beads are featured in the attractive jewelry designs of Treasures by Val’s. Fashionable blue cloth T-shirts and denim shirts imprinted or embroidered with sea inspired designs are created by Blue Crab Graphics and Coastal Creations. Smoked salmon is the key ingredient to the savory chowder offered by Dan and Tina Delay of Smoked Salmon Chowder. For the rakish at heart, treasure chests and wooden pirates swords can be discovered at Grandma’s & Grandpa’s Crafts.

Shop for handmade arts, crafts and plants. Picnic on delicious seafood, American and ethnic fare, kettle corn, hot donuts and more. Stroll along the marina and watch the people, boats and dogs parade by. Saturday Market at the Port is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. between April 25 and September 26, 2009. For Saturday highlights and more information, see www.portofilwaco.org/saturdaymarket.html or call (360) 783-1143.

What’s Up, Doc?

Everything!, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl

Hope Easter was a success at your house.  It was wet and wild here and I didn’t feel guilty about spending the day in my weaving studio.

Spring Breaks are over and it’s back to “normal” at the beach.  If you’ve never visited the best site around for info about what’s happening here, you need to bookmark it right now.  FUNBEACH! There is more info than I could ever share on my blog.

Kitten season is upon us!

Don’t you need a new friend?  ADOPT! If you don’t want a kitten,

Discovery Coast Real Estate will pay the adoption fee for a mature

cat.  Just as much love…

SELLERS:  It’s a stressful time for you, I know.  Inventory is up, buyers are down.  Currently there are 296 MLS listed residences,  59 condos, and 294 parcels of land.  That’s stiff competition for your property, especially if you have a home listed for over $200,000!  Last month wasn’t a great sales month.  Just 12 residential sales, one condo, and six vacant land sales.  Days on the market for homes averaged 264 days.  Last year it was 201 days for the same period.

The first quarter of this year shows 26 MLS listed sales with a median price of $150,000.  The same quarter of 2008 showed just 29 sales with a median price of $184, 000.  And although the median price for the 1st quarter of 2007 was just $185,000 there were 59 MLS listed sales!  So yes, in answer to your question, the market has slowed considerably.

But, there is hope as I’ve said over and over again.  Real estate is still the best investment and although it looks bad right now, it will get better.  I’ve read numerous articles from different sources about the fact that it is starting to pick up.  We might not notice it here for a bit longer, but historically, sales go up in the summer months on the Long Beach Peninsula.  This is one of the articles that mentions an uptick and it might cheer you up!  REALTY TIMES.

Want more info?  Curious if this is the time to get your property on the market?   Give me a call or email me.

Is a Loan Modification Worth the Price? Read the article and decide.

Hope you had a chance to see our new listing in Ocean Park.  Do you know of someone who might be interested in a great little house, secluded property, close to Nahcotta?  Have them contact me!

Earth Day Community Beach Cleanup on Saturday, April 18th

Home Buyer Fair!

Everything!, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl

Coming up March 31 in our office. This “fair” won’t be just for home buyers, although you’ll be able to get information on first time home buying (doesn’t mean you’ve never owned a home before). We will also have information on reverse mortgages, purchasing a home with reverse mortgages, home inspections, homeowner insurance, how escrow works, and a few other topics.

There will be refreshments and door prizes. See Flyer

Hope to see you here! No RSVP needed, but I’d hate to run out of cookies, so it would be great if you let me know you were coming!
