Fishhawk Lake Real Estate ™-Sunshine in January Brings Everyone Outside!

By
Real Estate Agent with John L Scott Market Center 700512026

 

 

 Sunshine in January at Fishhawk Lake inspires people to get outside! As I was showing homes yesterday, my buyers were commenting on what a gorgeous day it was! It gives us this taste of what’s to come, soon, I feel, as it’s been a pretty mild winter.

 

People were hiking around the lake, canoeing, and there were even two sets of family playing tennis outside!

It made for the perfect setting to showcase my slice of paradise, Fishhawk Lake. Some buyers prefer a sunnier side of the lake, and this gives us a good opportunity to see where the sun hits during the day.

 

 

I also felt like I had a direct connection to the fowl in our community, as the Canada Geese ambled by in front of my clients’ car as they met me at the Yoder Community Lodge for our two-hour tour. Moments later, a Great Blue Heron swooped by and landing high up on a branch across from us. Then, at one of my showings, a luxury “green home”, serenely located at the base of Fishhawk Creek, (think A River Runs Through It), a majestic Bald Eagle flew by the floor-to-ceiling windows!

  

 

 

   

                                             “Cue the Bald Eagle!”

One of my clients had asked about the tennis courts, and wouldn’t you know as I brought them back to their vehicle, we saw the families of adults and children (and one wee dog) lobbing tennis balls back and forth!

 

It really felt as if I’d orchestrated this whole thing to suit whatever they needed to plant Fishhawk Lake in their minds as a contender for buying a luxury home on a lake.

If this piques your interest, please feel free to call me and allow me the opportunity to share my slice of paradise with you, Fishhawk Lake.

Gayle,

Nice photos.  We had a weekend full of "shorts" weather as Ron would say it, and now it has cooled off to the mid 60's after being in the mid 80's.  We appreciate it all.  A

Hi Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Real Estate, you couldn't have chosen a better day to show homes in Fishhawk Lake. It was a bit chilly for me this morning, in the 40's, now it climbed up to the 60's.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel it was such a joy to be out in the sun whether I was showing property, petting my horse and mule or taking the dogs for a hike on Greasy Spoon Rd. The buyers and I had a chuckle about our version of "shorts weather", as Oregonians are notorious for slapping on shorts with anything above about 45 degrees!!

Beth Atalay it better darned well warm up before I head there in a week-ish!!!! See you soon.

It is beautiful there and love seeing nature and sunshine together. The cold is keeping most of us inside and more snow is coming.

Debbie Reynolds me, too! I love it. However, am hoping for REALLY sunny and hot weather in FL next week...I'm heading there to take care of my mom.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty we're in the "coastal range" and in a pocket, at 600 elevation (possibly higher). I tell all of my buyers that we're about 6-12 degrees colder than Portland (which is about 90 mins away).

Hi Gayle. It was a lovely day. Although, I didn't get outside much. I'm finally starting to get my energy back as this flu bug sure kicked my butt. 

As for the magical day, you did orchestrate the happenings - your thoughts and energy prompted the moments.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD this is a tough strain of the flu! It's being considered a "disaster" in CA (southern) as so many more people are dealing with this one! There was a story about it on NPR yesterday. It hit CA much earlier than normal, they said it usually starts on the east coast and makes its way to CA by Feb/March, not this year! They are running out of room at the hospitals and are setting up tents outside them to accomodate.

The current flu shot is only 30% effective they said. 

I got it, too. And it took a good 3 weeks before I licked it. Bummer and you and I are healthy! Can you imagine what it would have done to others not as active as us??

Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Real Estate One of our little nephews stayed with my sister over Christmas break and he came down with it and passed it on...amazingly my parents escaped it...the rest of us were hit hard. Have no idea why or how they were spared. Just grateful. Glad you're back up and running...I'm feeling better day by day. :)

Gayle the older I get the less I want to live in a place that does not have a mild or temperate climate...I remember living on the East Coast and people would be happy when it was sunny....we take our climate for granted...Endre

From Mallard ducks on my deck, enjoying my birdseed, to robin's egg blue skies and puffy scads of clouds dancing in the waters below. it's a great life!
