Why would anyone buy property on a non-ferry served island?

W hy would anyone buy property on a non-ferry served island?

Good question….

Here are some of the reasons that I hear regularly:

“I’m sick and tired of traffic and the stress of the city. I want a place I can come and relax and not worry about whether or not my kids are safe.”
“I grew up in a rural environment and I want my children to experience the joy I had as a child.”
“I want an investment that I can touch and sit on…even if I don’t do anything with it.”
“My time is valuable and sitting in a ferry line for 4 or 5 hours in the summer is not for me. I want to spend that time enjoying the peace and quiet of my front porch.”
“I want to create a sanctuary for friends and family to be able to come to and unwind from the stresses they deal with all week long.”
“It’s so beautiful here…it just feels like “home” to me.”

I came to a non-ferry served island (Decatur Island) almost 20 years ago and have never regretted my decision to buy property there. From an investment standpoint, it’s been very good to me but from an emotional perspective, it’s been priceless…

If you’re considering buying island property for a vacation getaway or year-round residence, the time has never been better. The inventory is awesome and the prices are great!

Assessed values being adjusted in Anacortes

Nate Scott — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:42:42 +0000

A quick conversation with the Skagit County Assessors Office confirmed that while they are not done with the process of doing their analysis, it does look like they will be adjusting down a good amount of the residential properties in Anacortes by around 10% and some possibly down by 15%. At this point there is no way to find out if your property is one that will be adjusted down, so don’t bother burning up the phone lines, but in the relatively near future we will see a change to a good deal of the properties not only here in Anacortes, but in select other areas in Skagit County. I’ll post more when this happens.

Year to date, on sales reported in the North West Multiple Listing Service, homes in Anacortes have been selling on average at 98% of their assessed value. Earlier in the year we were at 94%, so this number is creeping in the right direction. This does not include sales that were not Realtor assisted, and that number I would guess is much lower as there are a few foreclosure sales that will drag it down.

Just a general note for you is that market activety is up, showings are up and people are on the move!
