vancouver real estate: Fall has fallen - Felida in Fall
- 11/20/09 05:55 AM
Well, We've had a couple of storms blow thru, and the seasonal color is now running down the streets in riveletts of water. Unless of course those leaves are blocking the drains. A little GOOD NEIGHBOR maintenance. UNPLUG the storm drains,.. use your shovel, snow shovel and let the water flow! (yes, this is the pacific northwest and while it doesnt RAIN ALL THE TIME, we do get plenty). How appropriate this seattle based company is named "ACTIVE RAIN". (no we dont have web toes). Still, before our rainy season onset...one beautiful day, I grabbed some great photos, and thought I'd … (0 comments)
vancouver real estate: TAX CREDIT - Great Resource at the NAHB
- 11/09/09 03:49 AM
As a member of the NAHB, I receive updates as they update their website. They have just updated this fabulously informative site, to include the newest edition of the tax credit and the EXISTING HOMEOWNER TAX CREDIT, at http://federalhousingtaxcredit.com/ This is a terrific resource for consumers and professional alike!.

vancouver real estate: $8,000 tax credit - EXTENSION and EXPANSION
- 10/20/09 01:54 AM
Yes, there is quite a bit of chatter out there about EXTENDING the tax credit. IN ADDITION to the extension, there is considerable effort towards EXPANDING the TAX CREDIT beyond FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS to include resellers/buyers. NO, this has not happened yet! But stay in touch with me at http://www.FelidaHomes.com or http://www.VancouverHotListings.com The Expansion of the tax credit to 2nd or 3rd time homebuyers will likely provide incentive to people who have been sitting on the fence. This coming year, (if this passes), I would expect to see both the MEDIAN and AVERAGE home price INCREASE. Does this mean RISING … (2 comments)
vancouver real estate: Inventories are down, and prices ticking up??
- 09/16/09 02:59 AM
This morning, I got an email from a national relocation research company that calls on me for area statistics. Her question was ..how much have homes gone UP? since march. Well the MARKET ACTION from the MLS does say median and average home prices are up in august. Inventories show at 8 months, the lowest in a long time, but are REAL prices ticking up? NO, I dont think so. Stabilizing maybe, but I dont think you could sell your house higher now, than you could in march. The higher median and average, simply means there are more homes (at higher price … (0 comments)
