Beach Updates

Vertical rain, 70 mph wind and 30-foot swells don't sound much like visitor attractions, but Washington coast storm watching is the thing to do out here on the beach during the winter months. I think I said the same thing last year, but this is the time of the year out here on the beach that can be really cool! Last weekend, there were hundreds of people visiting just to check out the monster waves hitting the North Jetty and all the beaches for that matter. Dozens of ferocious storms typically batter our coast between November and March. January and February traditionally deliver the most wicked weather. The wintertime storms in Ocean Shores are awesome to watch and experience. Watching Mother Nature do her thing is truly a spectacular site. If you can, make your way down to the North Jetty next time we get a good winter storm. This is really one of my favorite times of the year out here on the beach.

Roundabout / Traffic Updates

Well, it's finally starting to look like a roundabout at the intersection of Chance A La Mer & Point Brown Avenue, but it's still a huge mess that was supposed to have been completed by now. I'd give it another month before they're done. Avoid it if you can. When they finally do complete it, be aware of drivers looking all around like they're scared to enter - those will be the ones causing the wrecks, etc. The Washington State Department of Licensing has a website dedicated to showing people how to actually drive in a roundabout if you can believe that. Click "HERE." If you know someone who can't drive well (like most people who live out here), please share this link with them...

Ocean Shores Real Estate Update

It's been pretty steady out here on the beach. A lot of homes closed in October as a result of a really busy August/September. Sales will slow down now as the rain season hits. The bigger news is on the state/national level in which sales are still strong and new additional incentives have been put on the table to entice buyers to buy now.

Great News for Washington Homebuyers!

President Obama recently signed the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 that greatly expands the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit by making more first time homebuyers eligible for the credit and now includes homebuyers that are not first time homebuyers. The new law has extended the tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence. It also authorized a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified repeat home buyers.

First Time Homebuyers
The current law is extended until April 30, 2010. Buyers have until that date to have a signed purchase agreement. There is an additional 60 day grace period to complete the financing. More first time homebuyers are eligible because the new law raises the annual income limits from $75,000 to $125,000 for singles and from $150,000 to $225,000 for married couples.

Current Home Owners
Over 60 percent of current home owners will be eligible for a tax credit of up to $6,500 if they purchase a home by April 30, 2010. These homebuyers must have lived in their home for five consecutive years over the previous eight years to qualify. Qualified homebuyers can get the credit if they purchase a home for $800,000 or less as their primary residence between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. The income limits are the same as the First Time Homebuyer listed above.


Please see the links below for details regarding the new legislation:
Frequently asked questions regarding the new Homebuyer Tax Credit.

Here's the I.R.S. rules regarding the new law

This new law seems like it could also apply to a large number of buyers looking to buy a getaway home or condo at the beach that would be willing to call their new condo or home their primary residence and then possibly use their current home as their second home. But before we get too carried away, please contact your accountant or CPA for advice about this... then call me.

October Home Sales

Sales jumped big time in October and this is the fourth straight month in a row that we've seen an increase in home sales at the beach. 24 houses sold in October, compared to 16 houses in September. Average sales price dipped down to $148,270 (factor in 7 fixers that were unloaded for under $90,000 each). There are currently 25 homes pending in Ocean Shores right now - down from 39 homes pending last month. Sales will slow down now a little bit as they usually do during the winter.

There's only 202 homes on the market right versus 215 homes on the market last month. Home inventory is still shrinking which will likely cause prices to start creeping up. Average price is $225,552.

October Vacant Lot Sales
11 Lot sold in October. 11 sold in September too. Average selling price was $37,091. The cheapest one was $16,000 and the most expensive was $79,900. Average time on the market was only 260 days (up from 209 last month). There are currently 11 lots that are pending around town... There's 528 lots on the market right now versus 551 lots on the market this time last month.

October Condo Sales
Two condos closed during October at the beach which is a dip in sales from 2 sold last month. Average price was $117,750 up from $88,833 in September. Still good news in condo sales is that there are currently 4 of them pending right now. There are 97 condos on the market in Ocean Shores right now.

Razor Clam Season Tentatively set to Open at 5 Beaches

View image on Bing

Clam diggers got the go-ahead to proceed with an evening razor-clam dig starting Saturday, Nov. 14. Tentative dates have also been announced for upcoming digs in December and January.

Digs at all beaches will be held on evening tides, with digging restricted to the hours between noon and midnight. The National Park Service approved the one-day dig at Kalaloch Beach, located within Olympic National Park, to coincide with those at the other beaches.

Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager, advises clam diggers to check weather and surf forecasts before heading out.
"With the rough weather we had during the last opener, digging dropped off significantly as people played it safe," Ayres said. "On the plus side, there's likely enough clams remaining in the quota to offer more digs later."

Harvesters are allowed to take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 they dig, regardless of size or condition. Each digger's clams must be kept in a separate container.

Digging days and tides are:
Saturday, Nov. 14 (4:34 p.m. -0.3 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
Sunday, Nov. 15 (5:21 p.m. -0.7 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
Monday, Nov. 16 (6:05 p.m. -0.9 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch

A license is required for anyone age 15 or older. Any 2009 annual shellfish/seaweed license or combination fishing license is still valid. Another option is a razor-clam only license available in annual or three-day only versions. Descriptions of the various options are available on the WDFW website at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov.

Additional digging days and tides tentatively scheduled through Jan. 3 are:
Wednesday, Dec. 2 (6:32 p.m. -1.2 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors
Thursday, Dec. 3 (7:18 p.m. -1.4 ft.) Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
Friday, Dec. 4 (8:04 p.m. -1.3 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch
Saturday, Dec. 5 (8:51 p.m. -0.9 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch

Thursday, Dec. 31 (6:16 p.m. -1.1 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch
Friday, Jan. 1 (7:01 p.m. -1.8 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch
Saturday, Jan. 2 (7:45 p.m. -1.6 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
Sunday, Jan. 3 (8:29 p.m. -1.2 ft.) Twin Harbors
Beaches scheduled to open are:

  • Long Beach, which extends from the Columbia River to Leadbetter Point.
  • Twin Harbors Beach, which extends from the mouth of Willapa Bay north to the south jetty at the mouth of Grays Harbor.
  • Copalis Beach, which extends from the Grays Harbor north jetty to the Copalis River, and includes the Copalis, Ocean Shores, Oyhut, Ocean City and Copalis areas.
  • Mocrocks Beach, which extends from the Copalis River to the southern boundary of the Quinault Reservation near the Moclips River, including Iron Springs, Roosevelt Beach, Pacific Beach and Moclips.
  • Kalaloch Beach, which extends from the South Beach Campground to Brown's Point (just south of Beach Trail 3) in the Olympic National Park.

Beach Updates

This town is still construction nuts! Do yourself a favor and stay off Point Brown Avenue until at least November now. For the most part, downtown is still ripped up as the city is having all the roads repaved and the roundabout construction is also underway. It's still really crazy. Other than that things are still pretty hoping at the beach even though the tourist season is over. The weekends lately have been particular busy with folks visiting and looking at getaway/retirement. This coming weekend should be very busy as the Razor Clam season gets underway. If you've never dug or ate a razor clam, you're missing out. Trust me. It took me a few years to give it a shot and now I just can't get enough... But don't tell any game wardens that I said that....

Ocean Shores Real Estate Update

It's been really busy. Buyers are buying! August showed three straight months of improving home sales at the beach. September has flattening out as residential sales remained the same as August. What we are seeing is that people with money, who held back when the economy was on the brink, are starting to buy. Smart money is buying real estate again at what many see at the bottom and capitalizing on the best mortgage rates in decades.

September Home Sales

Sales continue to climb out of the gutter at the beach for the third straight month in a row. 16 houses sold in September. Average sales price nudged up to $166,100 (up from $150,688 in August). 21 homes went pending during September. There are currently 39 homes pending in Ocean Shores right now.

There's only 215 homes on the market right now versus 253 in July. Home inventory is still shrinking and sales are still happening. Average price is $231,012.

September Vacant Lot Sales
11 Lot sold in September (down from 13 in August for an average selling price of $32,527. The cheapest one was $8,500 and the most expensive was $80,000. Average time on the market was only 209 days. There are currently 12 lots that are pending around town... There's 551 lots on the market right now.

September Condo Sales
Three condos closed during September at the beach. Average price was $88,833. The big news in condo sales is that there are currently 6 of them pending (including two at the Dreamscape Condos). That's a huge jump! There are 107 condos on the market in Ocean Shores right now.

Razor Clam Season Tentatively set to Open at 5 Beaches in Mid-October (this weekend!)

View image on Bing

The first razor-clam dig of the fall season will get under way Oct. 16 if marine toxin tests show the clams are safe to eat, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today. Additional digging opportunities are scheduled through Jan. 3.

Evening digs are tentatively planned at Twin Harbors (Oct. 16-19); Long Beach and Copalis (Oct. 16, 17 and 18); and Mocrocks and Kalaloch Beach (Oct. 17 and18). Digging at all beaches will be restricted to the hours between noon and midnight. "The results of our 2009 summer stock assessment show that Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Kalaloch Beach have had an increase in their total allowable catch, while Copalis and Mocrocks are about the same," said Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager. "This is great news for Kalaloch, which will have harvest opportunities for the first time since spring 2007."

The best time to start digging is an hour or two before low tide, said Ayres, who also recommends that diggers check weather and surf conditions before heading out. Harvesters are allowed to take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 they dig, regardless of size or condition. Each digger's clams must be kept in a separate container.

Another option is a razor-clam only license available in annual or three-day only versions. Descriptions of the various licensing options are available on the WDFW website at http://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov.

Tentative opening dates and evening low tides in October are:

  • Friday, Oct. 16 ( 5:50 p.m. -0.5 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis
  • Saturday, Oct. 17 (6:38 p.m. -0.8 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch
  • Sunday, Oct. 18 (7:23 p.m. -1.1ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch


In addition, WDFW has tentatively scheduled the following digs:

  • Saturday, Nov. 14 (4:34 p.m. -0.3 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
  • Sunday, Nov. 15 (5:21 p.m. -0.7 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
  • Monday, Nov. 16 (6:05 p.m. -0.9 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch

The Pacific razor clam (Siliqua patula) is an exceptionally meaty shellfish which ranges from California to Alaska. It is abundant on surf-pounded ocean beaches, but also occurs in sheltered areas along the coast. Limited diving observations have indicated some adult razor clams (S.patula) offshore for up to one-half mile. Razor clams dredged in water deeper than 30 feet, although similar to the beach clam, are a different species (Siliqua sloati).

In Washington waters, the razor clam grows to a maximum length of six inches, although they are seldom found. Clams seven inches long have been recorded, but are very rare. The life expectancy for Washington clams is five years. Again, there are exceptions, but razor clams suffer from a high degree of mortality due to predation by Dungeness crabs, shore birds, numerous species of fish and of course thousands of clam diggers. A disease was also discovered in the early 1980's that caused mass mortalities of large numbers of clams. It is unknown how long this disease has affected clam populations. In contrast, razor clams found in Alaska may grow to eleven inches in length and live to be 15 years old, due to colder water temperatures and slower growth rates.

Razor clams are found primarily on the intertidal coastal beaches (those that are exposed at low tide) from a +3 foot level to a -2 foot tide level. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) divides the harvest areas into five major management zones (see map):
Razor Clam Management Beaches

Beaches scheduled to open are:

  • Long Beach, which extends from the Columbia River to Leadbetter Point.
  • Twin Harbors Beach, which extends from the mouth of Willapa Bay north to the south jetty at the mouth of Grays Harbor.
  • Copalis Beach, which extends from the Grays Harbor north jetty to the Copalis River, and includes the Copalis, Ocean Shores, Oyhut, Ocean City and Copalis areas.
  • Mocrocks Beach, which extends from the Copalis River to the southern boundary of the Quinault Reservation near the Moclips River, including Iron Springs, Roosevelt Beach, Pacific Beach and Moclips.
  • Kalaloch Beach, which extends from the South Beach Campground to Brown's Point (just south of Beach Trail 3) in the Olympic National Park.

Clams will be for the taking on Oct. 16-19

Grab your clam guns, shovels and rubber boots. The state Department of Fish & Wildlife has announced that the first razor clam dig of the season will be the weekend of Oct. 16, if marine toxins test show the clams are safe to eat, according to Dan Ayres, a coastal shellfish manager.

Evening digs are tentatively planned at Twin Harbors near Westport Oct. 16-19, Long Beach and Copalis Oct. 16-18, and Mocrocks (north of Ocean Shores) and Kalaloch on Oct. 17 and 18. Digging at all beaches must be done between the hours of noon and midnight.

More digs will be scheduled in the coming months, and Fish & Wildlife officials are expecting several, as preliminary stock assessments show an increased number of clams of harvestable size on four of five beaches, Ayres said. The department is also tentatively scheduling four digs around the New Year's Eve holiday through Jan. 3. Ayres said the 2009 summer stock assessment revealed there are about 3.5 million clams of harvestable size and that could mean an extended clam digging season into 2010.

"We're pleased to be able to offer folks several opportunities to dig clams on the low tides around New Year's, which is a very popular time."

The best time to start digging is an hour or two before low tide, said Ayres, adding diggers should check the weather and surf conditions before heading out.

Olympic National Park Superintendent Karen Gustin recommends diggers take extra precautions for evening digs at Kalaloch because of weather conditions in the area.

"Kalaloch is considerably more remote than the other beaches, and visitors should be prepared for primitive conditions. With no street lights or lighted buildings, flashlights or lanterns are necessary."


Olympic National Park officials are also planning a public meeting in Forks from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 7, to discuss razor clam populations at Kalaloch Beach. The meeting will be held at the state Department of Natural Resources conference room, 411 Tillicum Lake, near Tillicum Park.

Tentative opening dates and evening low tides in October are:

· Friday, Oct., 16 (5:50 p.m. -0.5 ft) Twin Harbors, Copalis

· Saturday Oct. 17 (6:38 p.m. -0.8 ft) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch

· Sunday, Oct. 18 (7:23 p.m. -1.1 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch

· Monday, Oct. 19 (8:06 p.m. -1.1 ft) Twin Harbors


Harvesters are allowed to take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 they dig, regardless of size or condition. Each digger's clams must be kept in a separate container.

A license is required for anyone age 15 or older. Any 2009 annual shellfish/seaweed license or combination fishing license is still valid. Another option is a razor-clam only license available in annual or three-day only versions. Descriptions of licenses and how to purchase them are available at www.fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov.

Beach Updates

This town is construction nuts! Do yourself a favor and stay off Point Brown until at least October. For the most part, downtown is ripped up as the city is having all the roads repaved and the roundabout construction is also underway. It's really crazy. My recommendation is to drive on Ocean Shores Boulevard or the beach to get around. Downtown should be real nice once all the work is done though. Other than that, most of the tourists are gone so the town has settled down. September and October are two of the nicest months for weather at the beach in case you didn't know that. The fog burns off early and most days in the fall are warm and sunny. Oh, and warm is in the mid to high '60s for me. This is my second favorite time of the year at the beach (late spring being the first) weatherwise...

Ocean Shores Real Estate Update

It's been really busy. Buyers are buying! August was a killer month. September is turning out to be even better than August. I'm on my way to another record year in terms of sales. Deals are being snatched up. It's busy again!

August Residential Sales

Sales continue to climb out of the gutter at the beach for the third straight month in a row. A whopping 16 houses (up from 15 in July) sold in Ocean Shores during the month of August. Average sales price however dipped down to $150,688 (factor in a cheap park model and a bunch of little cabins and there you go) though. The bigger story is that 33 homes went pending during August. That's huge! The typical August cool down did not happen this year. That's great news. The market has been very busy with first-time and getaway buyers along with quite a few Baby Boomers looking to retire at the beach. There are currently 48 homes pending in Ocean Shores up from 29 homes pending at the end of July. That's a huge jump!

There's only 223 homes on the market right now versus 253 in July. Home inventory is shrinking. That's over a 10% reduction in inventory in month. The cheapest house, I mean the least expensive house is a single-wide for only $42,500 while the most expensive is a spa-like three-story retreat down near the jetty for an easy $750K. With fewer homes for sale and these ridiculous low prices and buyer incentives like the $8,000 first-time buyer tax credit, we're gonna see supply and demand stablize soon.

August Vacant Lot Sales
13 Lots sold in August for an average selling price of $37,269. The cheapest one was only $12,000 while the most expensive one was an oceanfront at $125,000. Average time on the market was only 520 days. There are currently 14 lots that are pending around town.

August Condo Sales
Two more condos sold in August (two sold in July too). Average sales price of the two that sold comes in at $189,500.
