I saw an interesting article, Oregon Average Property Tax Rates by County - Oregonian April 04 2017 by Elliot Njus, this weekend.  It showed the Average Property Tax Rate for each county.

hood river real estate: Happy New Year 2017 - Impending Real Estate Changes - 12/31/16 10:08 PM
Happy New Year - 2017
The past year went by way too quickly.  A New Year is here. I'm sure it will start slow and end up going by way too quickly, again.
In 2017, there is the potential for a significant number of changes in real estate.  Specifically, interest rates are expected to increase, while consumer regulations are likely to change dramatically, some would say drastically. As our Federal government transitions on January 20th, the political promise is for a significant rollback of government regulations affecting real estate, health care and all aspects of our economy.  I just hope it is based on common … (1 comments)

hood river real estate: Pine Grove Gas Prices Offer Christmas Cheer - 12/24/14 04:32 AM
 
Pine Grove Gas Prices Offer Christmas Cheer
I was surprised yesterday.  Driving into town, I pass two gas stations in Pine Grove where prices have been approximately $2.50 per gallon.  BIG CHANGE!  The Boys station is now selling gas for $1.999 per gallon, a drop of $0.50 in one day.
Pulled right in and filled up.  Took just under ten gallons and saved almost $5.  The attendant said it was their Christmas gift to the community.  A big thank you for the unexpected gift.  Later in the day, I attended a high school wrestling event in White Salmon, WA.  Quite … (2 comments)

Charging Stations for your Electric Vehicle in the Columbia Gorge
I was in Cascade Locks earlier this week visting clients.  As I was driving to I-84 to head back to Hood River, I noticed something unusual in a vacant parking lot on the side of the road.  It was a public charging station for electric vehicles, still somewhat rare in the area.  I was curious to find out a bit more about them. 
The Oregon Department of Transportation installed three AeroVironment stations as part of a larger initiative to populate charging stations throughout the Pacific Northwest.  The Washington Department of Transportation has done the … (0 comments)
