Time flies so quickly we are past the six month point in the year and rapidly moving into the last half of the year. Most REALTORS I know get asked if the market will hold, is it changing or will it crash?  Using the data only for Wenatchee and East Wenatchee (but the data is basically the same for all of North Central Washington just larger numbers) I think I can shed some light on the market and the future... mostly good! Also I have included a article from American Lifestiles that has good home buying tips.  I hope you enjoy the report!

DOG DAYS OF SUMMERIt’s commonly thought that the expression “Dog Days of Summer” refers to the hottest time of the year. If true, that would have been during June’s heat wave. But the expression actually derives from ancient observations of Sirius, the Dog Star and its annual rising in the morning during summer.  It is also the brightest star, after the sun. The Old Farmers Almanac places Dog Days at 40 days from July 3 to August 11. Both observations just happen to coincide with (typically) the hottest time of the year.But, what if you actually have dogs and you want to enjoy the hotter days of summer in Clark County WA?  Here are a few suggestions - just remember to bring water for yourself and your canine companions. And observe common courtesy - leash up where required and always cl... 07/18/2021

Six Pieces of Data to Wow Your Clients(and tell your market's story) Most real estate agents consider themselves "people" people and aren't as comfortable with data, graphing, pulling numbers, etc. However, if you could master finding out how to pull just six pieces of data in your MLS, I guarantee you will be more confident in your buyer and seller consultations, will be able to drop numbers and trends in conversations, and will have plenty of content for sending out to your clients and posting on social media. If you spent a total of one hour per month on pulling these numbers and creating corresponding graphics, I guarantee you will see a monumental change in your business. Active and Pending Ratios Showing what is happening with your active inventory and properties that have gone u... 07/16/2021

As you may be aware, we have had a couple fires in the Wenatchee area in last couple weeks. Fortunately, thanks to the fast action of the local fire fighters with help from State and Federal too and lots of air drops (5 planes on the current fire) NO HOMES have been lost so far. This paticular fire 1500 people or so were given evacuation now (level 3) notices. One of my clients, the fire was almost to their and some neighbors homes. It started late in the evening so all the fire fighters had not yet gotten there. But hot dry weather very low humidity and 16-25mph wind was moving it very fast. So my client who has an excation business took one of his CATS and started cutting fire lines to protect the homes. He was successful. I am attaching a timelapse photo of the fire the first night. ... 07/15/2021
