Hello all!  I Spent a wonderful weekend at the coast.  My appraiser I send all my business to purchased me a gift certificate for the Arch Cape House Bed and Breakfast. Arch Cape is 8 miles south of Cannon Beach and wonderful old property with lots of character.  Barbara, the owner, cooks a fantastic 3 course breakfast everyday that is included in the room charge. We spent a day in Cannon Beach and another in Seaside. The weather was great considering you never know what you will get on the Oregon coast in April! 
I found it interesting to talk to locals about real estate. They all stated that they would never be able to own a home due to the crazy price appreciation over the last 10 years. I let them know that I had just refinanced a clients 2nd home in Cannon Beach and it appraised for 1.6 million. They just laughed. 
 
I hope you all get a chance to go to the coast for a weekend soon, this time of the year is great due to smaller crowd. September and October are also great months to go also. The weather is a bit warmer and the kids are back in school.
 
Have a great week!!
