According to my company stats this is the foreclosure rate in the Pacific Northwest :
Number of Homes in foreclosure:
2008 2009
WA 1/1194 1/908
OR 1/984 1/446
ID 1/774 1/358
US 1/557 1/440
We are a bit behind the rest of the country, so maybe our worst numbers are yet to come.
Wayne Dywer Wisdom for May 4th:
You are in a partnership with all other human beings; not a contest to be judged better than some and worse than others.
I think real estate causes us to judge ourselves based more on production, than what we have contributed to the lives of others.
Hi Sandra;
I thank you for sharing your market area with us.
Thanks for sharing local data with the community. Any good beach properties avail at a discount
Hi Sandra, Good post. Thanks for sharing.
Best - Sash
Sandra - while you might be behind the rest of the country it still looks like Washingtgon is in pretty good shape comparatively.
Hi Sandra -- certainly an interesting perspective compared to what we read in the national media! Could you please advise where you obtained your data? Thanks!
Katiejo,
Some incredible beach properties...Coming from CA 10 years ago, I still think our property here is quite a bargain. Come take a look!
Mike,
We do seem to be in better shape. We have not had the speculative buyers as often as most areas. Most of my sales are to people who have sold their proerty in other states and are buying their retirement property.
Margaret,
My company John L Scott has a place we can go to see the stats. We use Trendgraphics, and can pinpoint an area and see things like inventory avail for area or county, cost per sq. ft,, sales rates, etc. Pretty handy info. Let me know if you would like more info on OR as we do have John L Scott offices there.
Thanks for reading.
