I’ve spent way too much time in recovery centers this past year. Thank goodness it wasn’t for me, but for several of my friends and extended family. I don’t care for these places at all and I never ever want to be in one. Perhaps my fear of the inevitable, yet just the same, dear Lord, please never. My daughter Tawnya is in town. She’s here to look after her Mom (my first x yet best friend) Bev, recovering from major back surgery at Wesley Homes Health Center here in Des Moines, Washington. Now how’s that for a set up? Anyhow, Tawn and I are taking a break and heading out to get some dinner. As we’re walking down the hallway we can hear someone playing Amazing Grace on the piano in the lobby. As we enter the room, and this is truly where the Amazing Grace happens, we listen for a bit th...

Des Moines, WA....A Waterfront City on Puget Sound  I love Des Moines! I live in Des Moines, so I am partial to the area. But, I want to give you an idea of what is the town is like for people who have never been there. Here is the 1st of a series of blogs on Des Moines, WA. Now, I will be adding some additional post on the Housing Market, History, Demographics, etc. But, when choosing if a town is right for you, what do you really want to know? Here is a list I have come up with. Schools Neighborhoods Amenities Commute When it comes down to it, it is about location. You have all heard the term "Location, Location, Location".  But what does it really mean? Real Estate wise, the more desirable your location, the more valuable your property will be.

I am excited to start the Puget Sound Waterfront Homes Blog! What's going on around the waterfront cities and neighborhoods in the Puget Sound area? Well, that is what I wanted to know, and while looking for the information I realized there was not alot on the subject. That being said, I thought I would start a blog that could be a resource for local or non local people to learn about one of the most beautiful places I know, Puget Sound. Now let me tell you, I am bias. I love Puget Sound waterfront homes and the neighborhoods they are in. I grew up in this area and have always been really fond of it. The western sunset views are some of the best I have seen anywhere. I may not be an expert, but I have been to almost every state in the US. Some of my favorites: The Colorado Rockies are s...

I just finished pulling some stats for the month of July, and I'm noticing that during that snapshot of time from 7/1 to 7/31 things don't look too bad over in the Waterland City.  I even saw a house that I would have loved to buy - a lovely, updated split level home with two kitchens and 1800 square feet, just five blocks from the Marina? For under $350,000? Raise your hand if you're kicking yourself over missing out on that one. Okay, now that my hand is back on the keyboard, here's what went on in July(stats are from the MLS): Homes: Listings taken: 59 Listings that expired: 12 / Average Days On Market(DOM): 128 Listings that went pending: 21 / Average DOM: 50 Listings that sold: 15 / Average DOM: 56 Condos: Listings Taken: 18 Listings that expired: 6 / Average DOM: 150 Listings that...

I was recently asked about evicting a tenant whose husband is in the Military, is overseas and the tenant was behind in paying rent. If that describes one of your tenants, you might want to read the section below that says they can stay for 90 days instead of being evicted. For additional details Google Service members Civil Relief Act of 2003.The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is a federal statute passed by Congress to allow military members to suspend or postpone some civil obligations so that the military member can devote his or her full attention to military duties. The original Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act was passed during World War I. The statute was reenacted during World War II, and was later modified during Operation Desert Storm.
