August Real Estate Update for the Okanogan Valley

OKANOGAN VALLEY MARKET SNAPSHOT

As in June, there were also 12 residential sales in the Okanogan Valley in July.  Average days on market was 129, and the average sales price was $152,492.  I received an e-mail last night from one of my lenders, and he says this:  "Today we locked someone in on a USDA purchase- 30 year fixed, no Origination Fee, 100% financing, no Mortgage Insurance, at 3.875%"  He also mentioned that was only $9 per month more than his client was paying for rent!  So, if you are thinking about buying, rates are LOW!  If you haven't gotten pre-approved yet, let me know and I can put you in touch with the right people to see how much house you are qualified to buy!  Search available homes here.

Land sales were up from June, to 17 sales in July.  

These are sales reported through the NWMLS for the Okanogan Valley, and do not reflect the entire county, or sales from private parties or offices who are not members of the NWMLS.  These statistics are deemed reliable, but are not guaranteed.

40 Acres in Okanogan County - REDUCED AGAIN!  

Seller is open to creative financing ideas - LET'S TALK! 

Stunning views of the North Cascades and close to town. This property is a great candidate for off-grid year round living, or vacation place. Combination of timbered draws and open hillsides, with level areas for building. Only 7 miles from Tonasket. Good spring on neighboring parcel. The county tells me it IS divisible into two parcels simply by means of a large lot exempt segregation! $35,000  Contact me for more information!
