Pullman WA Real Estate - Lori Cofer's Blog: August 2010

 

As many of my clients know, this Nana has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Sophia.   She is one of many babies born this week in Pullman Washington. 

Pullman Memorial Hospital has been bursting at the seams according to the nurses there the last few weeks. 

She is home now...and no doubt those few empty birthing rooms will be quickly filled by new Mom's.  The birthing suites they have are most impressive!

 

 

As a Realtor® in Pullman, the market continues to be quite active....thus so am I.  The world didn't stop when this little bundle of joy came on the scene. 

 

Thank goodness for my iphone...not only could I snap some pictures of my little one...but I was still in communication with several of my clients and headed out in the afternoon to check on a listing, show and meet with a potential client considering listing their home, as well as keep my contracts all moving along.  And a big thanks to Katie at the office....she kept everything moving along at the office for me... :)  Talk about multi-tasking....and I LOVE it!

 

Today I had the opportunity to watch this morning to let my son and daughter-in-law catch up on some much needed sleep. 

 

And YES, I was certainly chomping at the bit to have some quiet time with her...just the two of us.... spending some time getting to know each other.  It is a memory that I will always cherish...

I think both my son and daughter-in-law are convinced she doesn't sleep...so I snapped this picture with my iphone as I was afraid my camera would flash and wake her....

It is a Grandmothers prerogative to show off pictures of her grandchildren....and so many of my clients have asked me to share...so I hope you enjoy this picture of my sleeping little princess...there is nothing more beautiful on the face of the earth to this Nana...

 

That is until they give me another little one...Shhhh..... don't tell them I said that....   :)

This one sold....but we have lots of other very lovely homes for sale in Pullman Washington. I would be happy to show you some. Call Lori at 509-330-0086.

 

 

In Pullman Washington, we are not use to temperatures above 90 very often.  Many of our homes in more established neighborhoods don't have air conditioning.  I grew up in Lewiston~ Clarkston where air conditioning was a necessity. Here the temperatures cool off to a lovely 50 degrees not long after the sun goes down.  So I love the fresh air and cool breezes in the evening and sleep best that way.

But today was uncomfortably hot for us in Pullman, and for many in Washington and Oregon with this heat wave. Tomorrow is expected to hit 94 degrees. That is just too darn hot....at least for me.  

Sooo....in my feeble way to cool off this evening....I had to pull up a picture I had taken in my back yard 2 winters ago!  I sure didn't enjoy that snow much then...but it sure looks absolutely refreshing now.  Now where did I leave my ice pack....

Pullman is on the verge of nearly doubling in size this week!  Washington State University is about to start its fall session for 2010.  It is always an amazing transformation for sure.

From the third week of July till about the second week of August, Pullman is always very quiet.  It is the time when Summer Session is over and most of our residents take their summer vacations.  I have been surprised to see how busy I have been in our  Real Estate Market here in Pullman during this quiet time.

The Seniors are now back getting their houses ready for Rush at WSU. The streets go from bare to jam packed.  It is a time honored tradition and full of lots of fun and energy as new recruits go from house to house finishing the week with pledging.  And many will go downtown Friday evening for the celebration of Pullman's National Lentil Festival.  Hope to see you there!  Come by and say Hi at the Beasley Real Estate booth!

Has the market slowed down in Pullman Washington?  I don't think so.  I know I have been very busy.  And I see other Realtors® also working and that is great news for our real estate market in Pullman.

Today was a full one for sure.  I had to run to Lewiston which is about 45 minutes south to pick up some supplies for our family business.  My husband and son own a hair salon on the campus of WSU.  All the while I was fielding client phone calls...hands free of course!  That is the law in Washington State!  

I returned in time for showing a new client some homes.  It was great!  He is a smart new buyer and I enjoyed showing him a few really great homes.  That is always one of the parts of my profession I enjoy the most!
After that I worked on some contracts late...and when I came out of the office the sun was just setting...setting on a beautiful day!  Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate the moments...this isone of those times... :)  I took this picture just hours ago in front of my car as I headed home after a really great day....

In Pullman we are on the verge of the students returning to Fall Session here at Washington State University. Many of the businesses, Fraternities and Sororities are all getting ready for the onslaught of returning students and faculty.

Campus is still pretty bare, but lots of workman are madly trying to beat the clock.  One of the jobs I have enjoyed is watching the skill of the masonry as he restored a nearby building.  Over the course of the summer, I have watched him bring that beautiful brick back to life.  First, he painstakingly cleaned the brick bringing back a vibrancy that I had never seen in the building.  Then he careful went in and re-pointed the entire structure.  On Sunday I saw him swaying high in the air on a platform as he rebuilt the chimney.  Before you know it the students will be returning.

It also looks like they are making headway on the clock tower.  All summer it sat without the clock in the tower.  Yesterday I saw that the clock face was now returned but the hands not yet attached.  Time is running out...Don't I know it, we need to get the family businesses up and going....

Pullman will be having it's very own dog park!  What a great asset to our local community!  We have the land, we just need some necessities such as fencing, irrigation and landscaping to make this become a reality for Pullman.

Want to help?  Animal Haven is sponsoring Mutt Strutt September 18th 2010 at Sunnyside Park. It will be fun for both you and your four legged friend as you walk the course and enjoy music and fun activities along the way.

In order to participate go to whitmanpets.org/muttstrutt to register.  Gather some pledges and set your calendar for September 18th.  Before long our four legged Pullman residents will have a place to call their own.

 

 

 

Of course, I couldn't possibly write out doggies without including a picture of my little Chewbacca....I am sure he will love such a great asset for Pullman....
