Tigard Real Estate
Are you in the market for a new home in the Portland, Oregon area? If so, consider the great options available in the realm of Tigard real estate. Tigard is part of the greater Portland metropolitan area, located between Beaverton (which lies to the north) and Tualatin (which lies to the south). With a population of approximately 46,000 residents, Tigard real estate ranks 11th in the state of Oregon in terms of sheer size. Residents flock to Tigard real estate because it allows them to live in a mid-sized city but maintain easy access to the amenities of the much-larger Portland.
Tigard real estate is part of the greater Willamette Valley, and shares a common history with many of the neighboring towns. Tigard itself was founded by the Tigard family, which, along with a few other families, settled in the East Butte area in the middle of the 19th century. The Tigard family was instrumental in building up the first schools, buildings, and businesses that eventually led to Tigard real estate as we know it. Churches began to spring up, as well as a wave of services (like a blacksmith and a general store). By the start of the 20th century, Tigard real estate was burgeoning. The downtown area was growing rapidly, and telephone service arrived. Shortly thereafter, the Oregon Electric Railway put its stamp on the Tigard real estate area: the small farming community suddenly had direct access to neighboring communities, including Portland. The population exploded, and Tigard was incorporated as a city in 1961.
Today, Tigard is a thriving city that is at the heart of the greater metropolitan Portland area. Residents enjoy living in the city because it brings them a strong sense of community and offers easy access to Portland itself. Residents can still look back at their history by visiting the John Tigard House, which was saved by the Tigard Area Historical and Preservation Association. It is a National Historic Place on register with the government, and it is a popular destination for families, history buffs, and school groups seeking a sense of the early settlers to the area.
Residents of Tigard real estate form a tight community. This is clearly evidenced each summer during the Tigard Festival of Balloons, which accompanies the Portland Rose Festival.
If you’re looking for a great new home for yourself and your family, then, Tigard real estate has some great offerings. This strong, decisive mid-sized city has a lot to offer to residents from all walks of life. Come visit Tigard real estate today to see what you’ve been missing.

Seattle Washington Real Estate Welcomes You
Seattle Washington real estate has much to offer, whether you’re looking for your first home or hoping to relocate to a thriving city with steady job and housing value increases. Seattle is the sort of place where LEED-certified “green” buildings abound, couriers ride bicycles rather than trucks, and the local government puts cultural preservation above profit. Fishermen on Puget Sound reel in the catch of the day, while engineers work on giant Boeing jet planes. It’s a hotbed of music (most notably the 1990s grunge movement) and the home of Starbucks and Seattle’s Best coffee. You can pick up homemade cheese and fresh grown vegetables from the Pike Place Farmer’s Market or check out the futuristic Space Needle on Broad Street. Traveling by ferry will give you a breathtaking view of the Olympia and Cascade mountain ranges or you may want to cruise in style aboard the Victoria Clipper. History buffs will enjoy a tour of Tillicum Native American Village or one of Bill Speidel’s underground boat tours, which shows the Seattle storefronts of 1889 before the great fire. From trendy villages to distinguished symphonies, it seems Seattle real estate has it all. Yet there are a number of suburbs to accommodate the growing number of people looking to move here.
East Side Seattle real estate encompasses all the cities between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish: Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Newcastle, Mercer Island, Redmond and Sammamish itself. These cities were once the home of the local logging and mining industry, due to their close proximity to the water, but expanded to farm berries and dairy cows just before World War II. Once the post-war housing boom hit, these communities housed many of the new residents. The growth of East Side Seattle Washington real estate has been propelled forward by the growing number of high-tech companies roosting here. For instance, Microsoft, T-Mobile, Nintendo, AT&T Mobility, InfoSpace and Expedia all have centers locally. Additionally, the major regional offices of Boeing, Verizon Wireless, Google, Yahoo, Walt Disney and Fox Sports are situated in East Side communities. Biotech and medical companies like Amgen, Icos and Merck offer numerous jobs to area residents. Video game and media companies are plentiful too – like Warner Brothers, Sony Online, Monolith Productions, Sucker Punch, Valve Corporation and Bungie. It’s no wonder that many successful business moguls – Bill Gates (Microsoft founder), Paul Allen (Microsoft co-founder), John Stanton (Western Wireless), Craig McCaw (AT&T) and Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) – made their homes in some of the more prestigious East Side neighborhoods.
Just off the coast of Seattle Washington real estate are a number of wondrous islands that offer a vacation atmosphere. For instance, Bainbridge Island has grown from a farming community to a high-class suburb. If you dream of driving down country roads past gardens, strolling through historic towns full of quaint cafes and one-of-a-kind retail shops, then Bainbridge is the place for you. While there are many country things to do – hiking through Bloedel Reserve, biking, horseback riding and golfing – you can also enjoy big city arts at the Performing Arts Center and the Arts & Crafts Gallery. Vashon Island also offers shops, art galleries, cottages and beautiful views of Puget Sound. Langley Island and Whidbey Island are two other options for enjoying the Seattle vibe, while partaking in both nature and artistic revelries. For the adventurers, the San Juan Islands are just a hop, skip and a jump away, where you can watch the amazing Orca whale migration, explore your surroundings via sea-kayak and comb the sandy beaches.
Lastly, the Queen Anne Seattle real estate region boasts some of the most affluent homes on the market. Queen Anne Hill offers stunning views of downtown, Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, Lake Union and the Cascade Mountains. The homes of upper Queen Anne are traditional Victorians, while lower Queen Anne Seattle real estate overlooks the lovely Lake Union. This self-contained suburb just five minutes North of Seattle Washington real estate seemingly has it all: the Space Needle, the Pacific Science Center, the Experience Music Project, the Science Fiction Museum and the Key Arena, where the Seattle Storm and the Seattle Thunderbirds play.
Whether you’re new to town or unsure where you’d like to relocate, ask your local Seattle Washington real estate agent to show you around.

Buying and Renting in Atlanta
Home prices are still falling in the Atlanta metro area. The market is saturated, buyers are hesitant, and banks are not granting affordable loans. But if you already have the capital, and your credit is strong, this means it’s an opportunity to buy, right? Absolutely. But is it a buyer’s market? Not quite.
Atlanta sellers can also save money, especially if they are selling one home and moving into a higher-priced home. If a seller takes 15% less than what their home is worth, they can probably purchase a higher priced home with the same discount. In the end they come out on top because their savings are greater than their loss.
The national real estate market seems to be heading in a general decline, with prices lowering between one and 25% last year. But the Atlanta Journal Constitution ran an article on this topic, and John Adams, a real estate writer, had different thoughts.
From the article:
I am not convinced that home prices are in a broad general decline. A closer look at the facts reveals that certain parts of our country, particularly California and Florida, saw remarkable run-ups in price that were driven by speculators and over-exuberant builders. The situation was made worse by low interest rates and easy qualifying guidelines from lenders. Those parts of the country are now seeing sharp drops in property values and are giving back some or all of the artificial gains they saw in earlier years. In contrast, most of the United States has seen slow to moderate appreciation in recent years, followed by stable home prices during the current year. While some neighborhoods have seen values drop, others have seen higher prices. So the media proclamation that “home prices are plummeting” is applicable to only limited parts of our nation.
Adams notes that every American needs to be concerned with the slumping economy, but he also sees reason for optimism.
I believe any thinking American should be concerned right now. These are difficult times, and they call for a response from all of us. But I have faith in the ability of the American people to find a way to succeed, even in the face of adverse economic conditions. The other factor that gives me hope is this: I have seen no fundamental change in the way most Americans view real estate. A home is still perceived to be a good long-term investment, and owning a home still is a goal for most young adults.
Despite the news that the economy still has farther to fall, many economists and realtors think things will be better by the end of 2010. If you are ready to buy, with capital, credit and location already determined, now might be the perfect time. The one piece of advice that transcends both the negative and positive opinions is to exercise caution. Use common sense and move slowly.
If you are not yet ready to buy a house, Atlanta is a wonderful city in which to rent an apartment. Fortunately, numerous services and organizations are available to help you find an ideal apartment. There are apartments available in the center of the city or in Atlanta’s outlying neighborhoods. Virginia-Highlands apartments can be viewed on Promove.
