Spring has Sprung


The cold weather is behind us (for now, anyway) and people have dug to the back of their closets for shorts and tank-tops. The sky is a beautiful blue and there are flowers everywhere! It's a glorious time of year on Whidbey Island.

Helping in Our Community-Hearts and Hammers


Charlene Arnold, Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Tara Properties was honored to present a check for $1500 from the Coldwell Banker Tara Properties Community Fund at the end of the Hearts & Hammers event day. We are extremely proud of the ongoing support our company and our agents have provided over the years. Hearts and Hammers is such a great project. It is truly a heartfelt effort on the community’s part. This year over 40 homes were repaired, and even one that had to be added the day before the event because it was too much for Heart to take on. Heart is the year round part of Hearts & Hammers. It handles small problems which might mean a tarp on the roof in December to hold it until May. Thank you very very much one and all who participated in this year’s event.

Last Snow (I hope)

I woke up to a light layer of snow this morning. What a shock! Here I thought spring was here. The snow soon melted so it wasn't a repeat of our winter storms. Actually, a little snow like this is fun to roll in. Makes me look like a white dog!

2009

My, this year started FAST! It's already double-digit February and I still have my New Year's resolutions to fine tune. Oh well, I guess they'll still be good for next year.

It's been a different winter for us. More snow than usual (at least it seemed so, but then I'm getting up there in dog-years). There was even some light snow today. But spring is coming--you can feel it in the air. Many of the trees and shrubs are showing bud swelling, so it won't be long now. I can't wait!

Election is Over

Back to business!
I've heard that on Whidbey Island, they have high inventory, lower prices and good mortgage rates.
It’s a Smart Time to Buy.
There are hundreds of great homes in our area — at good prices. Now’s the time to take advantage of today’s buyer’s market — while good mortgage rates and terms are still available. Visit the Coldwell Banker Tara Properties' website to search for your next home. Or call to speak with one of their experienced Sales Associates who will work with you each step of the way.
