April Real Estate Update for the Okanogan Valley

OKANOGAN VALLEY MARKET REPORT
Sales were up in March for both land and homes, and spring is springing! There is still some snow hanging on in the higher parts of the highlands, but things are getting greener and warmer, and my tomatoes are in the greenhouse!

There were 13 homes sold in March in the Okanogan Valley, compared to three in February. The average selling price was also higher at $180,577, with an average of 299 days on the market. There were nine land sales, up from three in February, with an average of 627 days on the market. Search homes and land here.

I've had people ask me if home prices are rising as they are in other areas - at this point, no, I'm not seeing that. Properties are moving, but not as they are in more populated areas. I did a check in the NWMLS, and the inventory levels in King and Snohomish Counties are at a two month supply, whereas the Okanogan Valley has an 18 month supply of inventory. However, I'm encouraged to talk to brokers from busier areas, as that seems to eventually come here. We have come out of the winter slow down though and things are picking up again. Contact me for a free market analysis of your home or land!

FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS...

I just got this bread recipe from a friend, but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Sounds super easy!!

3 cups unbleached flour
1 tsp. (heaping) salt
1/2 tsp. yeast
1 1/2 cups water  (warmish)

Mix in large bowl flour, salt, yeast. add water and mix. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, set on counter 12- 18 hours. 

Preheat oven 450 degrees, put a dutch oven with lid on, in the oven for 30 min.
Pour dough on heavily floured surface and shape by pushing up the sides into the middle - DO NOT knead - into ball while pot heats. Remove hot pot from oven, drop dough in. Cover and cook 30 min. Remove lid and cook another 15 min. Remove bread and place on cooling rack.

No need to grease the dutch oven.

Bread is really crusty-crunchy delicious, kind of chewy in the middle.

A friend posted this quote today. I've always thought it helps to look for the good in the world, particularly when the pure evil of our society shows its ugly self. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the elementary school shooting victims...

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.” - Mr. Rogers

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season with family and friends!
