yakima: Yakima MLS Residential Sales Data 1st Quarter 2008, 2007, 2006
- 04/15/08 03:41 PM
This includes all residential sales, including condos, townhouses, single-family site built homes, manufactured homes on leased land, and manufactured homes on land. The data was pulled from the MLS and compiled by me. Total volume and total units sold are lower this year than last year, but the average price has increased and the average days on market has declined. So, while we are seeing some slowing, homes are selling faster and for more money. I've been reporting that Yakima is a strong market despite the slight declines in volume, but thought it would be more believable if I brought out some … (1 comments)

yakima: Genealogy is a hobby the whole family can enjoy!
- 03/08/08 10:47 AM
Genealogy is a rewarding hobby for history buffs. Not only do you seek and find your ancestors, but the research brings history alive. I began my research as a teenager with the goal of finding the original immigrant to America in each family. Then I thought I was only researching four names, those of my father's parents and my mother's parents. It has multiplied into the hundreds as one surname leads to two more and on and on and on... Twenty-five years later, I still am searching for some elusive families. Eventually, I'd like to publish my research in a book to … (0 comments)

yakima: Yakima Real Estate Market Defies Laws of Economics
- 03/01/08 07:22 AM
It's been featured recently in USA Today and on CNN. None of the national doom and gloom real estate news applies here. So what is going on in Yakima, Washington? Yakima County is a large area and we tend to divide it into Upper Valley and Lower Valley in discussions. I do that when I look at real estate trends, too. I live and work in Yakima, in the Upper Valley, and this is the area I really know and is my focus today. For the last year, I have been tracking pending sales in the area by smaller sub-area and by price point. … (0 comments)
