About the Port Angeles Real Estate Market I believe that an informed buyer or seller makes better decisions. That's why I spend a lot of time drilling down into the information to provide meaningful statistics about the current market. From time to time I will revise the information on this page with new data. In 2002: - Almost twice as many homes sold over $250,000 than in 2001 - The highest priced sale in 2001 was $345,000. In 2002 it was over $600,000 - The hottest price range was $110,000 to $140,000 - Homes under $100,000 that were in good condition sold fairly quickly in a market desperate for rentals - Inventory is down at least 15%, and 2001 was down, too - Yes, interest rates made a big difference. Don't underestimate the importance of the weather, however, in a fall market that just wouldn't quit. We had our very best December ever.   |  | | |
 Overall, sales in 2002 were fantastic. They spread across the board in different price ranges. By the end of January, I should add a report on 'Where Buyers Are Coming From.'

Cosmetic Improvements >Sunshine Sells
When your home is being shown, you want prospective buyers to feel good as soon as they step into the living room. It pays to give special attention to maximizing the amount of light in your home because dark homes are depressing to many people. When prospective buyers give real estate agents feedback on the homes that we show, they often cite a light, airy feeling as a major attraction.
Begin your preparation for showing your home by cleaning the windows and curtains thoroughly. Open the drapes and blinds to let the sunshine in. Even on a bright day it helps to turn on some lights in the main rooms of the house. If you are using shades or heavy drapes to eliminate a less-than-perfect view, you may want to consider replacing them with translucent curtains in a light color. Sunshine definitely helps to sell homes!
