This Chelan Hills Vacation home went under contract in less than 14 days for a few reasons. 1. Finding affordable homes with panoramic views such as this home has are hard to find...and getting harder. 2. The Chelan Hills Amenities are second to none in all of Chelan (full disclaimer, I also own a home in Chelan Hills, but I still think they are the best especially for the low cost)3. The home has many updates, including newer Maple Kitchen, solid surface counters and Tile floor. 4. It was priced under $400,000, a price point that is quickly diminishing in the area. The lucky home buyers will be closing on this one at the end of this month and then will begin creating years of memories!  View current availabilities in Chelan Hills

Is it Winter Yet?If we're talking Chelan.....um, yeah!In Seattle, we don't generally see much snow and ice, at least on a regular basis. But in Chelan Washington, where there are 4 distinct Seasons every year, you can bet on blue skies, sunshine and crisp white landscapes. This is why we love Chelan, it's beautiful all year long! You can learn more about the Chelan area here and feel free to browse available properties in and around Lake Chelan here.

Almost 2 years ago my husband and I  decided to purchase a vacation home in Chelan, WA. I don't include him in the decision to buy because, well...when it comes to my husband he's the kind of guy who doesn't like change of any kind. But we both liked Chelan alot and I was  "into" the idea of having a get-away place of our own. Not only had we been visiting Lake Chelan for years with friends and family; but I was intrigued by the investment upside of the area with it's increasing number of wineries and growing popularity as a wedding destination. At first we weren't really sure how often we would want to make the 3-hour drive or what our flexibility to get away for long weekends might be; so we began our search with the idea of buying a vacant lot to build upon in the future. As our sear...

Secrets to selling and why that guy's house sold so fast! Tim and Mary Flood, your Lake Chelan Realtors want to share some tips with you on the secret to selling a home fast, in any market. These tips can help almost any homeowner needing to sell. Remember I said NEEDING to sell. You may want to sell because you found a home down the block that was bigger and it seemed like a good time to sell but if you don't NEED to sell, these may not be the tips for you. First determine if you are a serious seller or just playing the market. 1. Know your competition. If you don't know what's out there, there is no way you can compete. You must know all the similar homes on the market, what they have sold for, are selling for and how quickly they went under contract. Your Chelan real estate agent wil...

Can I Buy Land for Zero Down? When you borrow money for land lenders see it more as a risk because the loan's collateral, the property, isn't developed or currently being used. Because of this reason, lenders see it as easier for the borrower to default on the loan and leave the lender with the land that's harder to resell without improvements. Typically down payments and interest rates are higher for land loans than they are for home mortgage loans. Land loans are riskier for lenders because the loan's collateral, the property, isn't currently being used. That makes it easier for the owner to walk away and leave the lender with the land. Because of that, interest rates are higher for land loans than they are for manufactured mortgage loans. There are current programs that do allow for ...

HistoryBeebe Ranch was first planted to orchards on the Columbia River in 1910. In the early days, the only way to reach Beebe Ranch was by boat or ferry from Chelan Falls.  By a special act of congress, the Beebe Family was granted permission to build a bridge over the Columbia River.  The original Beebe Bridge, the first suspension bridge in Washington State, was completed in 1919, at a cost of $75,000. Upon completion it was the largest privately built and owned bridge in the world.In 1947 the Beebe Orchard Company was the state's largest apple growing enterprise operated by a single family.  By 1979 the Beebe Orchard and Ranch enterprise operated on a total of 627 acres and stretched over three miles along the Columbia River.  It had an annual production of over 400,000 boxes of app...

As you can imagine, most "highest priced" homes in the Lake Chelan area are waterfront homes. So far, in 2010, the highest price home sale was $2,050,000 for a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath approximately 6000 square foot home at 142 Spader Bay Road in the City of Chelan. This is pretty close to last year's high sale, if you don't count the big property sale, of $1.95 million. The 2009 highest price sale was a $3.5 million property with a couple of older homes on it, which are likely to be remodeled or removed, making it sort of a waterfront land sale. The actual highest price home that is likely to be used close to as it was sold was a $1.95 million dollar sale of a north shore home. In 2008, the highest price residential sale was a home at 1215 Wapato Way in Manson. This is a 7 bedroom, 4 bathro...
