Availability of Land and Homes for Sale in Moses Lake

Would you like to know, week by week, how many vacant lots there are for sale in Moses Lake? How about homes? What kind of price ranges would you like to see?

For instance, as of today, there are nine private lots for sale in Moses Lake. It is difficult to find a reasonably priced lot in our town because people are moving in rather steadily, and the demand is increasing. I just sold a lot for $29,000 on a corner in the neighborhood near Home Depot, and I'm looking for more for several clients. Most of the vacant lots in Moses Lake that are for sale have prices more like $45,000 per lot, but are they selling? Yes, two for $20,000 each. You'll find lots near Pelican Point over $100,000 each, even if they have only a lake view and aren't directly on the lake.

As for homes, as of yesterday, there were 95 homes for sale for $180,000 and less. And there were 45 homes for sale for $150,000 and less (this includes those in the "$180K and less" list). If you would like a summary of either of these lists mailed to you, call me at 509-431-5804 with your email address, and I'll mail one to you. I'd post my email address here, but the "spammer crawlers" would pick it up and I'd have an inbox more full of spam.

What's going on in Moses Lake? What businesses are coming into town? There has recently been a ground-breaking for a mini-storage to be built on Central. From Stratford, turn down Valley, then right on Central. It is behind Pops In-N-Out, on the left, before you get to the Goodwill store.

Does anybody know of a few other businesses that are moving into town?

Will have: the country home on acreage with five bedrooms, a sunken family room, ramp to a door, deck on the back, pasture, trees. We're working on it. There is new paint in the living room, dining room, hallway and bathroom so far, and the old sink looks brand new and is getting some new faucet fixtures.

Need: affordable vacant lots for $30,000 and less in Moses Lake, between ML and Ephrata, in Wilson Creek, and somewhere between ML and the Potholes Reservoir also. If you know of any affordable lots in East Wenatchee or Cashmere, let me know. I have parties interested in those areas. Of course, in East Wenatchee, we're probably looking at something more like $60K since it's more expensive. Let me know if you know of some. Thanks!

Need: 3 bedroom, 1 3/4+ bath home with over 1600 square feet with garage and room to park three vehicles and a boat on the southern side of Moses Lake (Garden Heights, Pelican Point, out Wheeler, etc.) for around $200,000.

It's STILL the right time to make an offer

That beautiful home for $150,000 is still available. Call me if you'd like to make an offer on an immaculate, updated home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms off of Valley Road, not far from Knolls Vista school.

I'm curious about the vacant lots for sale in Moses Lake. I just sold a $30,000 lot for just a wee bit under the listed price while two other $45,000 lots both sold for $20,000 a piece. On the other hand, a vacant lot on the peninsula just had a raise in price from $29,900 to $45,000. That perplexes me. My builder friend tells me that it's quite possible that the time will come when you won't be able to buy vacant lots for under $65,000. So, do you want to build now, or later? When can you afford to buy? Now, or later?

I guess it depends on the "location, location, location," and how much you are able to put down as a down payment.

There's a saying that goes like this: "Make all you can, save all you can, spend all you can, and make sure you give some to God." I don't know who coined that phrase, but it seems to make good sense to me. We just need to figure out where our priorities are as to how much weight we give to each part of the phrase.

Anyway, back to lots in Moses Lake... don't be surprised if you own some vacant land and you get a call from me. I have several potential buyers who are looking for affordable lots to build or develop on. Perhaps you'd like to call me first?

Have a great week!

Fix that hole in the wall... but HOW?

We're talking about just a little hole in the sheetrock, one that you've repaired before, but now it's there again. How do you repair it? I really don't know, but a really nice customer service man who works at the Ace Hardware in Moses Lake showed me that I could use screws with metal shanks that actually grab onto the front and back of the sheetrock. Do you have a similar problem like mine, you moms and dads who have children? I love my kids, and I'm glad they wipe their wet hands on a towel, but the manner in which they wipe their hands (and lean) causes the towel bar to eventually come out of the wall. So, don't use those hard plastic "pre-screws." Instead, save yourself a step (and some time) and use the screws that have a metal shank with little teeth that grab onto the sheetrock. I don't have mine in yet, but I'm looking forward to having my towel bar back up.

HAVE: a vacant lot on the corner of Mary and Gary Streets in Moses Lake for $30K

NEED: 10-20 acres of vacant land with no rocks or creek, within 5 miles of the edges of Moses Lake. If there is a manufactured home on it in good condition, that's okay. Price range: less than $200,000.

COMING UP in about two weeks or so: a country home with 2 acres, less than 10 minutes from the edge of town. Chickens possibly included. Attached garage, older home, garden area, 4 bedrooms, one which is wheelchair accessible, grapes, completely fenced with driveway gate.

I'd like to set up a challenge for all real estate agents and builders in Moses Lake. Everyone has been so helpful to me as a new agent. We all like to help people. Let's help Sara Villareal, whose two children and husband died in her home that burned down on Moon Drive. She needs clothes for a one-year old boy, a couple of beds, food, money, towels, sheets, furniture, a home (could she qualify for a Habitat for Humanity home?), a table, chairs, dishes, pots, pans, prayer, clothes (size? 8?), and you can deliver these or call in to Amber Palmer who works at Miller Jewelry on Third in Moses Lake. Or call me and I'll get them to her: 765-3463 ext. 110. I don't know Sara, but I do know Amber who has known Sara for a long time. Thank you for your help! And yes, there is an account opened up for her at one of the banks in town. Can someone help me remember which bank?

Helping others help themselves....
