 Coveted Fisher's Landing properties in Camas, WA haven't seen a lot of sales activity since January 1, 2010. This is a great little area to live in and has the great Camas schools too. Currently there are only four active listings in the Fisher's Landing neighborhood. Average Days on market is 71 days. Average list price is $233,375. Average sq. ft of these homes that are active is 1693 sq. ft. That means these homes, if sold at their list price, they would be selling at $129 per sq ft.But since those aren't selling yet....there is only one Fisher's Landing Pending right now on March 5th, 2010.  Average days on market for this house is 187 days. List price was $289,900.  Sq. foot of this house is 2571 and if it actually sells at this price, it would be selling at $113 per sq ft.There w...

Camas, Washington School District Test Scores have become an important part of my real estate business. I serve a lot of families and first time home buyers that have children that are school age. Many of them ask me to show them homes in the best school districts. Camas has always been known for great test scores. Over the years I have had families "fighting" to get into the Camas School district.  I know one person who has a child in another school district who calls the Camas School District every month to see if someone has moved out of the Camas School district so her children can take their spot. She was told that the best time to call for that information is right around Christmas. She said a lot of people move out of the district about then. From what I have learned from persona...

Image by magia3e via Flickr I found this a great start to giving ideas on how to use Twitter to drive traffic to your blog or website. What's best about using Twitter, is that it can gain some speedy viral sharing, via retweeting and reposting. I've used Twitter for just a short time and found that I've already seen an increase in my traffic to my blog posts. There has been increase when used with video as well and I'll be posting my daily video blog here shortly. Some of the first 5 tips are: Communicate a benefit Blogs have been associated for a long time now with opinion and personal experience. This is often times the way they are portrayed in the main stream media. This may be due, in part, to the desire on some level to frame blogs as a less authoritative resource. Make claims and...

Some people are like hugging a sweet puppy. Yesterday I was showing multi family units to a client from California. He was only here for a couple of days. I had lined up several duplex units for him to see throughout our fair communities of Vancouver and Camas Washington. We visited several really nice places. When we got to a Camas, Washington duplex, the listing agent met us there to show us around. When he knocked and the door opened, lo and behold there was a sweet elderly person I knew from my church, St. Thomas Aquinas in Camas, Wa. She gave me a big hug. I've known her for about twenty years. She has this calm air about her, very relaxing. To me, she is like a sweet huggable puppy. So accepting, well...I could go on but you all have your own memories of favorite elderly people an...

Real Estate Report Newsletter for December 2 2008 Portland Oregon & Vancouver Washington -- A weekly news update for consumers and real estate professionals. December 2, 2008 It Finally Happened Our readers were probably getting tired of us harping about rates on mortgages. We kept explaining why mortgages did not go down despite the fact that market rates had dropped significantly. We also kept explaining how important rates are with regard to the housing and ultimately the economic recovery. Obviously, the Federal Reserve Board agreed with this assessment as they forced rates down significantly throughout this year. But lowering short-term rates was not enough. This week, the government’s decision to support the credit markets by spending hundreds of billions of dollars to purchase m...
