About Trumpeter Meadows:

A total of 49 New Construction homes will be built in this Mount Vernon development, nearly half have already been sold and are being lived in. Skagit County is continuing to grow at a good sustainable rate. These homes are but a few of the homes being built in the area. Their advantage is that they are not part of a development of hundreds of houses where construction will be going on for years to come in your neighborhood. This conveniently located development will be finished before long and the nice lot size and great floorplans will be great for the homeowners.

Outlook Brighter For Washington

The national news is still speaking about the lending industry “crisis”, but Washington State is fairing better than most areas of the country. An article released by Reuters on September 20, 2007* says that “While California suffers in the housing crisis, the economy of nearby Washington state is flourishing with strong job growth and some of the highest appreciation in home prices in the nation”.

While the lending industry is still sorting itself out, it seems that the bulk of the problems are behind us. However, we will continue to see the stricter loan qualifications that were common 5-7 years ago.

Home values are still appreciating nicely. However, they are no longer going up at the double digit percentage gains that Skagit County has enjoyed over the last few years. We still are seeing an increase that outpaces most of the country.

What does this mean to you? Well, if you own a home in Skagit County, you’ve enjoyed a nice increase in your investment. What has changed in your life? A new baby, or sent one off to college? A new job, or retiring? If your home is no longer perfect for your needs, now may be a good time for us to help you find another that suits you better . If you are ready to buy your first home, we can help with that, too!

There are plenty of lenders out there still writing and funding home loans. The good news is that a pre-approval letter is going to be on much more solid footing that it would have been just a few short months ago.

Interest Rates have been coming down as well. Opportunity knocks. The Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate by half a point on September 18th - The first cut in 4 years!

While every household is different, we can help with your housing needs in nearly any situation. Please call (360) 708-2929 for all of your real estate needs!

SICBA Home Tour - Piazza Construction

I toured the "Inman Home" built by Piazza Construction on the SICBA Home Tour this past weekend. It was simply the finest home I've ever been in!

A lot of very good thought and design went into the layout and flow of the home. The details, moldings, cabinetry, etc... that went into this home were classy but not gaudy in any way. The Media Room is by far the best one I've ever seen!

It was a fine home that was designed to be lived-in and enjoyed. A lot of times when you go into an upper-end home like this, it feels like a museum... Very pretty, but don't touch anything... This was nothing like that. It screams out something more like "Welcome Home, relax and enjoy!"

Apparantly I'm not the only one so impressed with this home. In the "Home Tour" contest for the Skagit Island Counties Builders Association (SICBA), this home won seven ribbons! They are:

     * 3,000 Square Feet & Above
      * Best Floorplan
       * Best Landscaping
        * Best Kitchen
         * Best Master Bedroom
          * Best Master Bathroom
           * Most Innovative Technology

             * BEST OF SHOW OVERALL

My Congratulations to John Piazza and the entire Piazza Construction team for building this great home and to Bill & Beverly Inman the owners of this great home who will certainly reap the benefits!
