Have you been waiting and thinking about purchasing a larger home to give a little more elbow room to the family. Perhaps a Family room or Bonus room to send the kids off to. A year ago you may not have had the budget to step up to a larger home, however with the home prices coming down and also the contractors wanting business, this could be your opportunity to purchase a bargain with more square footage per dollar. I know of gorgeous homes that were worth well over a million dollars in 2007/8 and now are priced in the $600,000. to $900,000. range. Homes in 2007/8 that were in the high $500,000.s are now in the mid to high $300,000.s Call your local REALTOR and if you are in Thurston County and do not have an agent call me Bernie Moats.
