Here comes July, ready or not!

Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl

I don’t even feel like it’s summer and yet it’s moving along so quickly!  Maybe it’s because we’re just so darned busy in the “summer” months.  Not just with real estate, but with all the fun things to do.  Read through this partial list and then check out the featured real estate listings for this post.  We have something for everyone and Discovery Coast Real Estate is ready to help you find your beach property before the summer is over!

Salmon Fishing starts July 1 – visit the Port of Ilwaco for more info on fishing and special events held there.  Saturday Market is going on all summer long.  The next Art Walk will be July 8 – you won’t want to miss that!

And while we’re talking about Ilwaco, be sure to “Feel the Thunder” on Saturday, July 3.

The 4th itself is filled with activities – Ocean Park hosts their “Old Fashioned 4th of July” with a parade (watch for me on the Rotary “float”) and the first annual Art in the Park (I’ll be there too with the Clatsop Weavers & Spinners Guild).

Long Beach’s popular Summerfest continues and Fireworks start at dusk.

Sunshine at the Beach!

Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl

What a glorious, if cold, week it’s been!  The sky has been so blue and the sun so bright it was amazing.

The hummingbirds were busy at our house this icy week, too.  I lost count at 13 and that was just the back yard!

Here is an update 2009 chart showing the National Average Mortgage Rates for the previous 46 years, Courtesy of  The Kilkenny-Valenta Lending Group at Pinnacle Mortgage Planning. Coupled with the great prices at the beach and the extended home-buyer credit (remember, it’s not just for FIRST TIME BUYERS!) you might want to think about that beach property!

That’s all the news for today.  Things get crazy this time of year so take some time for yourself.  Come to the beach, look at property with us, have a nice meal, enjoy the coast.  Remember, at Discovery Coast Real Estate, we’re looking out for you!

What a beautiful day at the beach!

Everything!, Races, Real Estate | Posted by Cheri Diehl

It just doesn’t get any better than this. Sunshine, blue skies, light breeze… This is what we live for! Took advantage of it on Sunday to putter in the yard but the weather was just too great to ignore the fact that my MG was sitting quietly in the shop, battery on trickle charge, waiting for me. So, I hopped in and took off. Stopped in Long Beach for the Peninsula Art Association Art Show! What a fantastic display. I even made a purchase for my new office. The photographer is my friend, George Power. What a good eye. img_0002









So, after that I cruised up 103 to Ocean Park for a latte and my very favorite chocolate covered biscotti at Full Circle Cafe.  Feeling very cheerful, I decided it was time to head home and mow the lawn.  The car, being British, didn’t see it my way and I only made it about 4 blocks before it stopped and refused to stay running more than 30 seconds at a time.

Since Charlie was away for a vintage car race in California – Sears Point – I whipped out my trusty AAA card, spent 1-1/2 hours relaxing while I waited for the tow truck and still got home in time to mow the lawn!

But, enough about me.  How about some clam dates?
