5 Stretches for Anyone Who Works a Desk Job

Research shows that working at a desk all day can have lasting negative affects on your health, unless you are breaking up the time with regular exercise and stretching. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite stretches below to help put you in a good mood, increase flexibility in stiff muscles and boost circulation!

1. Neck Rolls – Relax and lean your head forward. Slowly roll head in a circle one side for 10 seconds. Repeat on other side. Do this three times in each direction.

2. Shoulder Rolls – Raise both shoulders up toward ears, then slowly roll them backward. Repeat, rolling forward. Do this three times in both directions.

3. Upper Back Stretch – Hold your arms out straight in front of you, palms facing down. Lower your head in line with your arms, and round the upper back while looking down toward the floor. Hold for 2 to 3 deep breaths.

4. Torso Stretch – Seated or standing, lace the fingers together and stretch them up towards the ceiling. Take a deep breath as you stretch up as high as you can, then exhale and open the arms, sweeping them back down. Repeat for 8-10 reps.

5. Seated Hip Stretch – While seated, cross the right ankle over the left knee and sit up nice and tall. Gently lean forward, keeping the back straight and reaching out with the torso until you feel a stretch in the right glute and hip. Press down on the right knee to deepen the stretch. Hold for 10-30 seconds and repeat on the other side.

We hope these exercises help you as much as they help us! If you are interested in Manzanita Real Estate or Surrounding areas. Please feel welcome to reach out.

Home for the Holidays

When Jeff and Bobbi began searching for a home along the coast, it was the panoramic ocean views and peaceful community feel that drew them towards The Highlands of Gearhart. I knew they would enjoy the small downtown, bike friendly streets and leisurely pace of life. When we viewed this home, it was clear with it’s incredible views of Tillamook Head and The Lighthouse along with the astounding floor plan, it was the one.

Natural light permeates the 5,000 square foot home, creating beautiful vibes all year long. With three master suites, a grand family room and the custom designed beyond-dream-kitchen, I knew it would fit all of their needs and wants. The home is located in a private neighborhood next to the Highlands Golf Club where residents have ownership of the tennis courts.

Partial Government Shutdown – What it Means for Real Estate

At midnight on December 21st, 2018, there was a partial government shut down, due to lawmakers failing to pass short-term budget legislation. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has been in consistent communication with congress and it’s leaders who are working with the White House, in order to clearly communicate the importance and critical need to keep these programs running smoothly in communities that depend on them so greatly.

Now the question: How does this change affect real estate businesses and our clients involved in transactions? It can affect it in three different ways…

The first, you could face delays when attempting to attain tax information from the IRS. Should the need arise, transactions could face delays due to offices being shorthanded from employment cuts of non-essential employees.

Secondly, Flood insurance. At midnight December 21, 2018, The National Flood Insurance Policies’s authority to sell or renew flood insurance policies expired. Existing National Flood Insurance Policies will remain in effect until they expire but new ones will remain inaccessible until the shut down is halted.

Finally, FHA programs could face delays due to furlough’s of non-essential employees in their departments as well, which could lead to loan delays. Mortgages backed by secondary mortgage companies Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac will not be affected, nor will the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Moving in on Mulligan!

I’ve known Kris and Natalie for a long time and understand what they want out of a home. When they began to seriously search for a new family home for them and their growing boys, I thought of a new construction build on Mulligan Dr, overlooking the Manzanita Golf Course, that had just come on the market.

When I first viewed the home, I knew it was the one for them. With the gorgeous second level master bed & bath, open floor plans and high ceilings downstairs, the home offers plenty of space for hosting family gatherings and creating memories. The beautiful & private backyard with a patio and fire pit would be perfect for dry evenings spent outside roasting s’mores. The extra large driveway with poured concrete would make a great basketball court for the boys to play on. Close proximity to downtown but located on a quiet neighborhood street, it’s truly the best of all worlds. Congratulations, to our newest buyers!

6 Rainy Day Coast Activities

For every type of rain we have here at the coast, there’s an equal number of rainy day activities to keep all the members of your group entertained. Working our way from Tillamook, north up to Cannon Beach, here’s just a few adventure ideas for when the sun is hiding!

1. The Tillamook Air Museum was opened in 1942 and is located in a former US Navy Blimp hanger, called “Hanger B”. The museum offers visitors a chance to observe beautiful vintage air crafts as well as vehicles that have been preserved either by tour or by your own leisure. It also hosts a kids corner. The hanger received notoriety around the globe for it’s title as the largest clear-span wooden structure in the world. It’s impressive size and unique architecture along the Nehalem Valley floor draws thousands of visitors every year.

2. Go Antiquing! Wheeler & Nehalem host a multitude of fun vintage shops to explore while strolling along the Nehalem River & Bay. There’s nothing like finding a rare treasure tucked away in an unassuming little town to bring back home. It’s a wonderful way to get to know the culture of the area as well. Check out Wheeler Station Antiques and the Vintage Unicorn in Nehalem!

3. Explore and enjoy The Nehalem Beehive. This beautiful local shop is 1 part retail and 1 part cozy cafe. Peruse well crafted gifts, lotions, art and wares on the retail side and then wander into the next room and you’ll find yourself surrounded by cozy reading nooks, table spaces and the ultimate relaxation zone. They offer Kombucha on tap, freshly made soups, wraps and more for lunch. During dryer weather, take a book outside and enjoy the courtyard or front porch.

4. Explore The Hoffman Center for Arts! Located in downtown Manzanita, this space offers a variety of workshops and classes with a focus on ceramics, writing, film, performance arts and more. Visit on a Thursday or Saturday to use the Open Ceramic Studio and immerse yourself!

5. Cannon Beach has always been famous for it’s abundance of art shops & galleries. Starting in “mid-town” we recommend checking out Found, a vintage & local art shop, then working your way north along Hemlock St into the downtown area. The Archimedes Gallery is one of our new favorites in town and you won’t want to miss out on the classic & timeless coastal vibes of the Jeffrey Hull Gallery.

6. Go for a hike in the rain! Wetter weather means less foot traffic on trails, take advantage of these days by throwing on a couple extra layers and exploring the wild Oregon coast. If you want to keep it on the mild side, head to Nehalem Bay State Park and walk or bike the paved trails that hug the water & woods. If you’re feeling adventurous, try Saddle Mountain. This hike isn’t for the faint of heart but the views & reward are well worth it. Plus, depending on the time of year, you might even find some snow!
