Good news for NW housing
Our strong NW economy is pulling through! Check out the Wall St Journal article on predictions for Seattle and Tacoma. This is consistent with trends here in the Methow Valley also. We are seeing a lot more people looking for homes and land here in the valley. From second home investment options, retirement homes to a place to hang your hat for the best recreational opportunities available anywhere. Now is the time for Buyers! Prices are the lowest they have been in 6 years, interest rates are low and inventory is high so there are lots of choices.
