Moving to the Beach!

Hello, and Happy New Year!

I am excited to share the significant change I made to my Real Estate business in 2010! I am now affiliated with Rob Trost Real Estate located in Netarts, OR. This is excellent news for buyers and sellers (and myself), as I am now actually at the beach instead of 9 miles East in Tillamook. It's official...I live, work and play at the Beach!

I continue to specialize in beach Real Estate, helping both buyers and sellers achieve their goals. 2009 turned out to be a good year after all, despite reports of the market down in our area. Of the eight homes I listed in Oceanside and Cape Meares, seven sold before the end of the year. The market is down in the general sense, but not in sales volume. Check out these numbers:


(per Tillamook County MLS data)
In Oceanside, Oregon

2009- 22 homes were sold.
2005- 20 homes were sold.


2009- average price of homes sold in Oceanside:$329,000, average price per square foot:$178.
2005- average price of homes sold in Oceanside:$445,000, average price per square foot:$235.



I hope to see you at the beach in 2010! Visit my website www.iWantABeachHome.com and click on "Search the MLS" or "Featured Listings" to scope out new listings and price reductions before you come for a visit. Also, know you can call me anytime to chat about the market, or homes that look interesting to you. I am happy to help!


Sincerely,


Wendy Stevens
