port angeles: Are Port Angeles Homes Getting Smaller?
- 12/21/09 08:06 AM
Are houses getting smaller in Port Angeles? There have been many articles written about how retirees are building smaller, more energy efficient homes. Of course, "energy efficient" and "green" does not necessarily mean smaller, but less square footage does facilitate the two. There has also been an inducement to build smaller homes because of the increasing cost of land development and home construction. With higher price tags, mortgage payments have grown dramatically, and the mortgage debacle and record foreclosures are more than a shot across the bow for retirees. The real estate market in Port Angeles continues to set its own … (0 comments)

port angeles: Why homes over $500,000 are almost impossible to sell . . .
- 12/23/08 07:42 AM
Sequim and Port Angeles homes for sale in the upper price ranges, say above $500,000, are almost impossible to sell right now. Why? There are two major reasons. Reason No. 1. In Sequim, and even more so in Port Angeles, the percentage of buyers represented in this price range above $500,000 is only about 2% of all buyers in the current market, depending on what week or month you analyze.

- 08/21/08 04:31 PM
Price reductions annd price adjustments on a listed property can catch the attention of other Realtors and buyers, and result in a sale, but it will have to be a signficant price reduction in this market.

The local MLS input data sheet has many check boxes, and not all agents complete all the "include" or "exclude" sections. It's easier for agents to use the "comments" or "remarks" section to describe something unique or special about the property. Sometimes people … (0 comments)
