Long Beach Washington Real Estate

We had some unexpected visitors at the office last week.  Seems their mother didn’t come home one night and left her youngsters (estimated to be 2-1/2 weeks old) to fend for themselves.  After leaving them for another night with no parent returning, they were picked up by North Coast Wildlife Rescue.  They will be raised with a lot of other orphan raccoons as one big litter and then introduced to the world.  We were told that this has been a big year for raccoon rescue.

Do you realize that you still have time to enjoy summer at the beach, on your own property or in your own beach home?  Qualified buyers can close quickly and take advantage of the fun stuff happening here during the summer months.  I can recommend lenders, home inspectors, anything you need - just come on down and pick out a place!

Many people ask if it’s a buyer’s market and I suppose in a way it is because there’s a lot of inventory out there. On the other hand, I would say the majority of sellers here are not in a “must sell” situation and are willing to wait it out. There have been a lot of price reductions but if you’re looking for a home, don’t wait thinking the prices are going to go down. And don’t wait for the gas prices to go down before you come to the beach!
