Beach Updates
Happy Birthday Ocean Shores!

News Flash! Ocean Shores turns 50! That's right, the sleepy little beach town celebrates its 50th birthday this year. Happy Birthday (or Birth year, I suppose) Ocean Shores!

Ocean Shores Real Estate Update

It's no secret that 2009 was a horrible year for most if not all business's (except Walmart of course). Not unlike the rest of the country, real estate sales were again slow at the beach and down nearly 13% from the previous year. The First Time Home Buyer tax credit had very little effect out here as most of our buyers are either move-up, retirement or getaway buyers. However, the new $6,500 tax credit for owners of existing homes who buy a new principal residence does seem to be spurring activity. The biggest surprise out here on the beach is that more condominiums actually sold this year than last.

Ocean Shores is not unlike the rest of the country as a large volume of foreclosures, REO's and short sales have driven prices down. However, we are starting to see a significant reduction in the number of these distressed properties on the market today. Prices have bottomed in Ocean Shores much like the rest of the region. The biggest problem we face with sales still remains with the uncertainty of the banks as they continue to strangle buyers with steeper qualifications to get a loan.

That being said, the forecast is good. Nationally, the National Association of Realtor's chief economist sees a strong sales year ahead - up to 20 percent this year. He's also forecasting sustained price increases of anywhere from two to five percent on average. Regionally, the Puget Sound market is significantly up. The volume of pending sales was up more than 35% from a year ago and was the best December the region has seen since 2006. Historically, Ocean Shores tends to follow the Puget Sound's trends by six to nine months.

Here are some year end numbers regarding Ocean Shores real estate:

2009 Home Sales
* 180 Homes sold in 2009 for an average sales price of $173,421 (Cheapest was $31,500 - Most expensive was $495,000).

It took 320 days to sell a Lot in 2009 compared to 284 days in 2008.

2009 Commercial Sales

* 7 Commercial Buildings sold in 2009 for an average sales price of $345,643 compared to 6 sales in 2008 for an average sales price of $281,250.

2009 Multifamily (Apartment) Sales

* 4 Multifamily Buildings sold in 2009 for an average sales price of $167,000 compared to 0 sales in 2008.

Coastal Community Sales Comparisons

On another note, even though the Ocean Shores real estate market was off this past year, consider how bad the market is in a couple of other beach towns. All things said, the real estate market is still kicking in Ocean Shores.

* Ocean Shores sold 180 Homes and 134 Lots in 2009. The average price of the Home was $173,421 & the average price of the Lot was $34,968.

* Seabrook/Pacific Beach/Moclips areas sold 18 Homes and 6 Lots in 2009. The average price of the Home was $344,472 & the average price of the Lot was $92,833.

* Westport sold 23 Homes and 11 Lots in 2009. The average price of the Home was $164,410 & the average price of the Lot was $53,136.

* Long Beach sold 48 Homes and 14 Lots in 2009. The average price of the Home was $183,160 & the average price of the Lot was $107,714.

Summary: Ocean Shores is still the most affordable coastal community in the country and that's a big reason why a lot of baby boomers are retiring in Ocean Shores and numerous people move here to work, play and buy their vacation getaways. Now is the best time to buy in Ocean Shores!

Razor Clam Dig Coming Up!
After a stormy New Year's opener, razor clam diggers will get another chance to hit the beach for a five-day opening scheduled to begin Jan. 27 if marine toxin tests show the clams are safe to eat. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) also announced tentative plans for a razor-clam dig in late February, pending the results of another round of marine toxin tests.

For the dig planned this month, Long Beach and Twin Harbors are tentatively scheduled to open on evening tides Jan. 27-31, with digs also planned at Copalis and Mocrocks beaches Jan. 29-31. In addition, the National Park Service has scheduled a two-day dig Jan. 30-31 at Olympic National Park's Kalaloch beach to coincide with those at the other beaches. Digging at all five beaches will be restricted to the hours between noon and midnight.

Digging days and tides for Ocean Shores are:

Friday, Jan. 29, (5:58 p.m., -1.5 ft.) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks

Sunday, Jan. 31, (7:23 p.m., -1.2 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.

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.

Beach Updates
Top Stories of 2009

Not much happens out here at the beach, but a few events have managed to make headlines so far this year...

* January brought over 6 inches of that white stuff to the beach. It's pretty rare and very cool to see snow covering our sandy beaches as waves crash onto them. Pretty cool to go surfing in the snow too!

* March was a special month as Ocean Shores had its first bank robbery ever! The crazy gal took a few hundred bucks, drove a few hundred feet, then called 911 and turned herself in... I guess it's a good thing that the thieves out here aren't that bright. The bad news is that in less than 3 years, she'll be back...

* After three long years of repaving all the streets in Ocean Shores to get rid of all the potholes, etc., the City Council decided to reduce most of the speed limits throughout the city for no good reason whatsoever.

* The only doctor's office in town shut down. Some say the 30 minute drive to Hoquiam to see a doctor is a lot quicker and less inconvient than the extra 3 hour wait it used to take in the old Coastal Family Medicine office though...

* The city restocked the lakes & canals with grass carp in hopes that the slimy buggers will eat all the weeds...

* The second best meatball in America is in Ocean Shores as Sandy Blessing's "Italian Meatball Tortes" took second place in the Taste of Home America's Best Loved Recipes Contest....

* For the first time in a few years, there were no significant fires in the dunes during the 4th of July celebration this year after discussions of shutting down fireworks usage on the beach.

* Ocean Shores got some real suds as the Elk Head Tap Room opened up to much delight this year. Bottoms up.

* The new supersized fire station recently opened on Point Brown Avenue.

* In December, the mighty 4-Way Stop Signs finally came down in the City Center as the new Roundabout finally came to life. The roundabout is actually pretty cool and will be a huge relief once everyone learns how to property drive a roundabout... If you don't know how, click "HERE".

Ocean Shores Real Estate Update

Sales slowed down a little bit during November, but really not as bad as some people thought that they would have. The new and improved and extended tax credit actually seems to be helping things along. On a positive note, condo sales are up at the beach this month to their highest level all year. Positive news from the national level seems to be rubbing off a little bit too. Next month, I'll have a 2009 year in review.

October Home Sales

Home sales dipped for the first time in five months as only 16 homes sold in November - down from 24 houses that sold in October. Average price was $160,673 - up from $148,270 for last month. There are currently 23 homes pending in Ocean Shores right now - down from 25 homes pending last month.

There's only 179 homes on the market versus 202 last month and 215 in September. Home inventory is still shrinking which should increase prices. Average price for a single family home is $237,289 - up from $225,552 last month.

October Vacant Lot Sales
9 Lots sold in November - down from 11 sold in October. Average selling price was $30,378. The cheapest one was $14,500 and the most expensive was a lake lot coming in at $90,000. Average time on the market for sold lots was 349 days - up from 260 days last month. Two of the lots that sold were on the market for over 1,000 days. There are currently 9 lots that are pending around town... There's 493 lots on the market right now - down from 528 lots in October.

October Condo Sales
Condo sales were huge in the month of November - mainly due to the new Short Sale pricing going on at the Dreamscape Condos down at the North Jetty. Six condos closed during November at the beach. Average price was $135,653 - up from $117,750 last month and up from $88,833 in September. Still good news in condo sales is that there are currently 6 of them pending right now - up from 4 pending last month. Condos look to be selling again at the beach! There are 88 condos on the market - down from 97 last month.
