With a little luck, lots of perseverance and trust, buyers are still picking up keys to beach houses in Manzanita. As I write this my clients are stuck in Friday traffic on 217, contemplating a long line of cars all the way West. But it’s no rental awaiting them today, no friend’s extra room. They will have their own beach house. Are you ready? We can do this! Hans Tonjes hans@livingroomre.com 503-936-4244.
As if on cue the rain has pulled back this morning and the following week promises sun and white fluffy clouds on the coast. There is slight inventory here but transactions are happening. Maybe head down and take a look around? Pick a neighborhood or village to watch? Some buyers give up and some new buyers sneak in and show up at the right place at the right time. I’m here to help!

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! Hans Tonjes – hans@livingroomre.com – 503-936-4244
“It’s like riding a bicycle…” Will we remember how to eat next to strangers? Share entertainment, space, place, travel? I think so. In the meanwhile, there is lots of elbow room at the beach. Demand is high, supply is low, but the world keeps turning. If you are realizing that you can work away from an office, maybe even long term, the Coast offers a great home office demeanor. Time to start pedaling! Call Hans Tonjes – 503-936-4244 – hans@livingroomre.com
I’m starting to wonder if the new normal is that there might not be a normal any longer. I never figured out the saying – ‘the more things change the more they stay the same’, but I think I am starting to live it now. The surprises and unexpected arrive every week it seems, not every month or year. So as a creature of habit and routine, I look for the familiar. Hard work seems almost always available to do. The tides are operating on schedule. And this kid… keeps growing up. I’m ready to buy and sell beach homes and property. I’ll keep a light on for you, have batteries even.

Summer is still going to happen it appears, despite all our present challenges. I’ve been doing this long enough that I am starting to sell houses I helped people buy. The seasons blur together, the years pass. Then out of the blue something profound brings about new perspective, worldwide. I assure you, the ocean is still here. There are genuine advantages to owning property here. The demand is high, the times are scary, but the beat goes on. I’m here to help! Hans Tonjes hans@livingroomre.com 503-936-4244
There is extremely tight inventory of homes for sale at the Coast this season. Demand remains very high despite the pandemic. This is a time to pay close attention to new listings and communicate often with your broker. This golf course home in Manzanita had a very strong offer hours out the gate and a competing offer soon after. I’m here and ready to help with any of your real estate needs in the Manzanita and north coast markets. Hans Tonjes – hans@livingroomre.com – 503-936-4244
