October 2023 Newsletter

Have I ever mentioned how much I love moving and remodeling?

Sorry it’s been a few months since my last newsletter, but this move took a large bite out of my time. We now have a new logo, new location, and a new website on the way! All created locally.

While NAR reported earlier today that September year-over-year sales were down 15.4%, the Chelan/Douglas Single Family Home market had a very strong 3 rd Quarter. Sales were up $53MM over last year’s 3rd Quarter and financed transactions up $35MM or 25%. Looks like interest rate shock has subsided.
