mel ahrens realtor: South Wasco County Real Estate Market Price Changes July 2019 - 08/13/19 12:41 PM
Here are recent price decreases in the South Wasco County Residential Real Estate Market, including Maupin, Wamic, and Tygh Valley.  These price decreases occurred from July 1 through July 31, 2019.
