More scary statistics

Here are just a few more stats that shows you the major slow down in the housing market.  California very often is a step ahead in the housing market, and we very often can see these trends sneak across the border and show in our housing market.  While these numbers are focused on metro areas we can still see these numbers scare away good investment opportunities for all of us.   See stats below

Among the metro areas in California with more than 100 new-home sales in September, sales dropped 66.9 percent in the San Diego area, 65.1 percent in the Los Angeles area, 46.1 percent in the Oakland area, 44 percent in the Irvine area and 31.4 percent in the Riverside area, with the slightest decline at 2.3 percent for the Fresno area compared to September 2006.

College Football

I know that by living in Central Oregon and with the Cascade Mountains between us I still feel love for College Football.  With Oregon State having an easy weekend against the Cougs, we still can’t forget the Ducks going down hard.  I can almost say that the Ducks did go down hard literally, because with Dixon going down to the ground there wasn’t much more left of the team.  I was amazed to see that people still decided to camp out for Civil War game tickets, but that just shows you the love for the game.  You probably wonder why I even write about College Football, well check out my website and read more about me.   

Big plans for Sunriver in 2008

Sunriver Resort

 Never ending improvements for you!  The resort has now focused itself on the improvements of The Marina and Stable facilities.  Come visit the new welcome center at the Stables and in addition The Marina will almost double in size.  Both buildings will match the Resort architectural lodge style and will be constructed to LEED standards.  LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, a nationally accepted benchmark for the design. 

 

 Caldera Springs

Has been selected as the location for the 2009 Central Oregon Builders Association’s “Showcase of Dreams.”  Proceeds from ticket sales and other sponsorship funds will be used by COBA to benefit affordable housing in our region.  The finest custom home builders in Central Oregon will bring excellence in home design and quality to our neighborhood.

 

 Sunriver Village

A lot of talking but finally a plan for a new Sunriver Village!  With 60,000 total sq. ft. of commercial space and about 600 residential condo units, the budget for the total project is estimated at $250 million!  John Goodman, spokesman for the developer, said he expects both sales and phase one construction to begin in the summer of 2008.  

 

The JELD-WEN Traditions

 Change is always good. And it’s even better when the Champions Tour is involved. The JELD-WEN Tradition is moving to the Crosswater Golf Club one of North America’s finest courses located at Sunriver Resort in Sunriver, Oregon.  The tournament will bring some great attention to Sunriver with the biggest names on the Champions Tour coming to Central Oregon.
