A swoon in U.S. home construction reduced Western lumber production in 2006, the first decline in five years, according to final production figures prepared by Western Wood Products Association.

With housing starts decreasing by nearly 13 percent during the year, Western lumber production slipped to 17.98 billion board feet, down 7 percent from the previous year. The estimated wholesale value of the lumber was $6.8 billion, compared to $7.7 billion in 2005.

DeLuz.com was once on the cutting edge of real estate.  It's founder tried unsuccessfully to get other area brokers to let him advertise their listings on his website.  This was what eventually led up to what is commonly known today as IDX or Internet Date Exchange, after brokers realized they were not doing their clients any favors by turning down free advertising ...

 Oh, by the way, did I tell you that AAA Properties and YourEastsideBroker will be happy to advertise any brokers's listings on the Eastside for free in Eastside Business newspaper.

Condos seem to be the rage in the Pacific Northwest these days and have kept the local market propped up as we are some of the last to feel the "adjustment" across the country.  There are some in the industry who are a lot more positive about the lookout for the market in the next few years, including the Property Maven blog about The Bellevue Block .

We're pretty much having to rebuild this site from scratch so we have a lot to do.  It's kind of fun to do it that way, so a plan can be charted out and followed through on.  That's not to say that we won't enjoy all the changes and innovations along the way.

 I'd like to see if this post shows up on any of my google alerts for:
