April Real Estate Update for the Okanogan Valley

OKANOGAN VALLEY MARKET SNAPSHOT

Residential sales for March were still pretty sluggish, with only 4 home sales in the Okanogan Valley - I think in part to a lingering winter.  There are currently 16 pending sales, so we should see improvement in the coming months.  Average sales price was down to $119,125, from $133,317 in February, and average days on market was 253 in March, compared to 250 in February.  There are 227 active residential listingsSearch new listings here.

Land sales increased to 4 in March, up from 2 in February, with 445 active land listings, and 5 pending sales.  

These are sales reported through the NWMLS, and do not reflect private sales, or those from offices who are not members of the NWMLS.  These statistics are deemed reliable, but are not guaranteed.

FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS...

Chicken Divan

I decided to use my sister's version of this recipe in our Greene Family Cookbook, since I don't really follow a "recipe" when I make this...  A family favorite though!
 
6 or more pre-cooked chicken thighs or breasts (baked in foil for 1 hour at 375 degrees)
2 packages of broccoli
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup mayonnaise 
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. curry
1 cup grated sharp cheese
1 tsp.+ butter on top
1/2 cup bread crumbs
 
Cook broccoli, place in 9 X 13 baking dish, add chicken pieces on top of broccoli.  Combine remaining ingredients, and pour over chicken. Top with bread crumbs and butter and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
