Welcome to Spokane!!





It was 24 June, 1994 the summer before my senior year of high school, when I started my career in the Washington National Guard as a M1 Tank Crewmember with C Co 1/303rd Armor in Port Orchard, WA.  I went active duty 7 May, 1996 as an aircraft electrician; retired 30 September, 2016 and, as they say, the rest is history. Like most who serve on active duty I have been all over the world; parts I hope to see again and others I wish I could forget. I landed in Spokane for a job in July 2016 while on terminal leave. Since being here I have discovered so many things to do in Spokane. 

  Like basketball; We have Spokane Hoopfest, the largest 3on3 outdoor tournament anywhere.You into college basketball? We have Gonzaga University’s Men and Women’s basketball.Into baseball? We have the Spokane Indians a minor league affiliate of the Texas Rangers. Want to catch a Pro Sports game? Take a quick 1 hour flight or 6 hour drive to Seattle and see both the Seattle Seahawks and Mariners. Hockey? We have the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League. Youth sports? Between school sports and recreational leagues, we’ve got you covered. Spokane even has a Men’s Rugby team, Spokane Rugby Club Razorbacks. Outdoor activities are only limited by your imagination. The Inland Northwest is also an outdoors Mecca. We have many lakes and rivers to get out on for summer fun in the sun and fishing.

  Lake Coeur d’Alene is minutes away and is a top 10 location for smallmouth bass. Spokane River has its own hidden secrets with its native Red Band Trout and pockets of smallmouth bass. If you’re a hunter we’ve got something for you too. Some of the big game in the area are elk, deer, moose, mule deer, cougar, and black bear.  Are you a foodie? We have restaurants galore. Want Italian? Try The Italian Kitchen or Luigi’s. Want Burgers and beer; try Wisconsin Burger. And don’t get me started on the breweries and wineries in the area. These are just a few of the things you’ll want to try while stationed at nearby Fairchild AFB. Follow along as I guide you through all things Spokane.

Curb Appeal for Everyday

  Curb Appeal 5 suggestions and a bonus.  With today’s market selling a property seems to be easier than ever. Low inventory and high demand are driving the market. But, how do you set your property apart from the rest from the moment the potential buyer pulls up in front of your property?  Why is curb appeal important? Most buyers, unless they are driving up & down the streets looking for “For Sale” signs, are finding the properties online. You need to make it “POP” in pictures to catch the buyers as they swipe through the properties, regardless of what site they are using. Here we will go over a few items that seem like no brainers, but sellers tend to not think about or feel is not needed. Below I will briefly go over 4 things property owners can do to draw attention to their property whether they are selling or not. #1. Mow the lawn. This is one of those well duh..

Spokane's Low Real Estate Inventory

Image
Here we are in the 2 nd month of 2018 and I must say one of my FAVORITE months. January was a whirlwind of a month. It was here, I blinked and it was gone. For the real estate industry lots has happened already. Washington State Governor Inslee has signed Bill 6091, hopefully fixing the Hirst Decision. Homes are listed for sell and are gone before you know it. The inventory of homes for sale is currently at an all time low for Spokane County. As of the writing of this post there are only 651 homes for sale that fall under the following criteria: -           Price: $1million or less -           Status: Active, New, Back on Market, Price Change and Extend (agreement between Realtor and Seller to sell extended) -           Sub-Type: Residential (non-manufactured homes), and Condos -           Lot size: ...

Image
I found this article and found it interesting, especially with the Real Estate Market seeming to continue it's historic climb. I am sure we will see things to start cooling off, as we have seen in some markets. But, we will see the bottom drop out like we did in the early 2000's? 4 Reasons Why We Are Not Heading Toward Another Housing Bubble With home prices continuing to appreciate above historic levels, some are concerned that we may be heading for another housing ‘boom & bust.’ It is important to remember, however, that today’s market is quite different than the bubble market of twelve years ago.
