I've been on a working vacation since January 15th, so have had a serious lack of time to do blog posting. Thanksto my computer, cell phone and printer, scanner, Fax machineI have been keeping up with my work back home. And... thanks to my two licensed Assistants we haven't missed a beat and sales and closings continue.
As for what's happening with the current Wenatchee real estate market, following is a little info gleened from a recent article in the local newspaper.
Despite high demand, total home sales in the Wenatchee area declined dramatcially (over the same period a year ago) in the last quarter of 2006. Lack of "affordable" housing is blamed. Here is a link to the full text of a recent article from the Wenatchee World newspaper, citing a report put out by Pacific Appraisal Associates in Wenatchee.
Regardless of the fact that the average Wenatchee area home (at $217,000) is still priced significantly less than the state average (at $301,000), affordability is, indeed, an issue.
