The Central Oregon Coast real estate market is a rush of activity, as buyers scramble to find housing before winter sets in. Homes are selling fast! It is easy to get discouraged, but we agents, and our clients must hang in there!After showing several homes non-stop throughout the county, I told the buyer I would be available tonight to write an offer as soon as possible on any of the choices, as one day can make the difference. (The photo below was from the living room of a home in the Bayshore subdivision, on high ground with a great horizon ocean view.)After the last showing of the day, I was getting a little bleary & decided to stop for a refreshing break, in the beautiful beach town of Waldport, Oregon, while it was still daylight.  The air was slightly brisk, smelled like a mix of... 11/09/2020

I have been showing property all week to buyers who drive a Prius, use recycleable bags at the store and talk about renewable energy. Yet, when I showed them homes with a "dated" kitchen, they immediately grimaced and said, "Get me outta here, that kitchen is atrocious! Look at the Brady Bunch door pulls!  I would need to remodel it immediately!"   OK, the edges of the counters could be used to slice cheese, but that is no reason to abuse our landfills with perfectly useable building materials and working appliances.  I think granite counters are overrated, especially if you have ever broken a glass baking dish on one.  If you can make a spaghetti dinner in your kitchen, you are doing better than 3/4 of the rest of the world.
