Location, Location, Staycation…

Posted on by Hans Tonjes

It’s been a long time since I have had the itch to world travel. But I will admit that staying very close to home for a year has me thinking about options, new horizons. It’s not the best kept secret anymore, but the Oregon Coast is a great place to be stuck, sheltering the storm. New listings are starting to peer out from winter hibernation. This is a good time to dust off your prequal letter and set up a showing or two, get to know our ‘new’ market here at the coast. I’m here to help!

Change!

Posted on by Hans Tonjes

Spring was in the air yesterday, not so much today. But the season is right around the corner. The phone is starting to ring, listings you say!? It seems change is all around us but patterns remain, the tides endure. The hotel on the left is still here 🙂 Are you ready for some change? Some beach? Put one foot in front of the other and let’s get started. Hans Tonjes hans@livingroomre.com 503-936-4244

Rockstar

Posted on by Hans Tonjes

A good friend sends a message on insta and says ‘hey, you sold a house to a rock star!’. Not a rock star per se, but in their field for sure. A crazy year indeed, ending on a most positive note. An earlier purchase ended tragically this summer but vigilance on all sides led to a sweet surprise at the wire. Don’t give up hope, keep looking, reach out. If you’re a seller sitting on the Manzanita market fence, the buyers are circling. Hans Tonjes hans@livingroomre.com, 503-936-4244

Pandemic + Election = Banana Bread

Posted on by Hans Tonjes

Why I am so relieved that one of the largest transactions of the year has closed the day before the election… What could go wrong!? Good luck on this wild ride everyone, buckle up. The fearless are still exchanging property here at the coast. I’m helping them, I can help you. I have banana bread, I can do anything… Hans Tonjes hans@livingroomre.com 503-936-4244

Being present, in the past

Posted on by Hans Tonjes

Any north coast regulars out there remember Karla? Some of the best smoked seafood I’ve had in my life and I miss her friendly presence dearly. I drive by the old Hwy 101 location at least once a week but it will always look like Karla’s Smokehouse to me. New memories are being made here every day. Come join us at the beach.

Wrestling the Gorilla

Posted on by Hans Tonjes

It has been said that you don’t stop wrestling the gorilla when YOU are tired, you only stop wrestling when the GORILLA is tired. The covid gorilla is not tired yet, by a long shot. It seems sellers are hunkering down at the coast. Today there are 3 homes for sale in all of Manzanita, 2 of those will be sale pending by tomorrow. A market with one home for sale? I have not seen that in 25 years here. Time to get creative, look a bit further up and down the coast. Buy a lot, build something. But don’t give up. When you are not busy wrestling the gorilla keep an eye on the coast. Visit, plan, wait, pounce. I am here to help.  Hans Tonjes hans@livingroomre.com 503-936-4244

Room at the Top

Posted on by Hans Tonjes

Two of a kind… Here’s your chance for expansive ocean views from on high in the quiet neighborhood of the Cherry Streets. Need more elbow room? There are two adjacent lots for sale, listed separately. Utilities are in the street. Look for the trail from the SE corner, along ridge, to the NW corner.

Greetings of the Season

Posted on by Hans Tonjes

What is this water falling from the sky? I’ve lived on the Oregon Coast for 25 years, in Oregon all of my life. I cannot remember more perfect summer weather. The wind is blowing now, it’s raining, and it’s vaguely familiar. But underneath it all, life and routines roll on, like the tides. Property is still being bought and sold here at the coast. I’m ready and able to help you buy or sell. Dress appropriately, and let’s do this! Hans Tonjes 503-936-4244 hans@livingroomre.com
