The Mack-Daddy of All Open Houses
Last summer I had the unique experience of showcasing one of my listings, a real architectural gem, in the local Historical Home Tour. The experience was overwhelmingly wonderful & offered a unique opportunity to expose Astoria's Crown Jewel to a massive amount of people. It was estimated that over 200 people toured the Henry Hoefler home on that beautiful summer afternoon. Suffice it to say, this was the largest open house that I've ever experienced!
Fast forward 8-months - Imagine my surprise when I recently received a call from an agent proclaiming to have offer in hand. This was especially amazing in light of the fact that he hadn't shown the home. Ironically enough, his client had been one of the many that fawned over the details of this wonderful home while attending the home tour. I specifically recalled the gentleman as he was apart of an extended group of folks touring the home. I have a recollection that he kept disappearing while exploring the nooks & crannies of this fine home. I'm thrilled to report that on Friday, the keys change hands & the home will be entrusted to a new steward.
I firmly believe that this sale would have never been consummated had I not had the home on the tour. This fact further reinforces my conviction that Open Houses sell homes! I'll keep doing them despite the naysayers who don't!

Things are happening in Warrenton, OR. Who would have thought that Warrenton would be the home of one of the largest Costco's, let alone Staples, Home Depot, a Goodwill Super Store & more! The economic growth that's concentrated in the Hwy. 101-corridor is a sign of changing times. National corporations and their support teams have analyzed the demographics & have decided that Warrenton is the place to be in the new economy.
Equally as impressive is the Warrenton housing market, which continues to soar with the introduction of quality affordable homes in newer subdivisions like The Orchard & Juniper Ridge. Warrenton remains a sought after destination by today's discriminating buyer's that are drawn to affordable land prices, newer homes and lower property taxation rates.
I've reviewed the new home sales trends & was surprised to note that the $ 221,000 to $ 231,000 price range is where the lions share of the activity was this past year. Equally as interesting is the fact that there weren't any sales in the: $ 232,000 to $ 242,000 pricing structure. I predict that we'll see more activity in the two lower price ranges in fiscal 2011 with the introduction of more bank owned homes hitting the market combined with seller distressed short sale transactions.
