This article was just published by the News Tribune.com
Governor Gregoire is saying that when people, here in our area, see the National news they think it’s the same bad news here. The economy in Washington State continues to Grow.
Just because someone in some other state can’t afford to buy a home or condo….It doesn’t mean we’re in trouble here at home in Washington.

Some of our ambassadors. That’s me, behind the camera.
First, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving Day.
We had our monthly Chamber Ambassador’s breakfast meeting this week. For those people who have an interest in getting involved in what is going on around our city. For those who don’t want to get TOO involved. Maybe just stick your toe in to see how much fun it is, or how networking will help your business. If you are a member or if you just want to find out more before you commit to something….
I am here to tell you: 15 years ago, I just wanted to stick my toe out there and SEE!
Well, some of you know or have figured out…….I am fairly involved in my Chamber and now the city functions. If you’d like a new friend, come on down! You are going to click with someone or all of us!!
For more information, or just questions about the Chamber, Real Estate, City functions….Call Dennis Endres @ 253 683-3100. Realtor, Associate Broker, Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce Ambassador, and All Around Nice Guy!!
Call today!

For those of you who like coffee, or drinks like that…There is a great place to drink… coffee. I’ve been going in there, off and on, for years. Robin has a terrific business going on South Hill, the Endicott Coffee Bar. It’s across the street from the new Safeway on Meridian, just south of the movies. You’ve seen it! It has a sign out front… 16 oz drinks for $2.00. Now, I ask you….how do you beat that??? I know your next question, does she have punchcards??? Yes, she has punch cards. So, drop buy, get a well priced cup of coffee and tell her, Dennis sent you!!
Don’t forget, the last part is important. Say: DENNIS SENT ME!!
The pictures at the top: Robin and her store.

Halloween is sneaking up on us SO fast! I’ve found some places that have Pumpkins, Mazes, Hay rides and even Pony rides. There are lots of places all over several counties.
The pictures above are of Spooner Farms and Sholz Farms. Both are on the Orting Highway, south of SR410. These farms I notice because I go by there.
There are lots of other places near where you are……..To find one near you, go to this Website:
www.pumpkinpatchesandmore.org/WApumpkins.php
So… go buy a pumpkin and take a tour through a maze. But, watch out for those Goblins!!

I am writing to you today to consider Roads and Transit for a minute. If you are a person that travels on the roads and highways, takes the bus or the train….consider the Bill up for vote. This would help some of the congestion on our major roadways.
I would not try to persuade to vote either way, but, this is America…GO VOTE!!
For more information on this topic go to this website: www.YesOnRoadsAndTransit.org
There is a lot of input about the projects. Please: take a look!!

Everyone knows that the Real Estate market is in a slump. But, it’s just like baseball….tomorrow, next week, next month, sometime soon, we’ll be hitting Home Runs again. This is what I tell people: Homes are just like stocks….Buy low/sell high.
Right now….Homes are low!! Buy a house! Don’t sell now, but hold until next year. Things will be better and you won’t take a beating selling your home.
On that note….Here are some statistics for Pierce County, courtesy of Commonwealth Land Title.
Year-to-date August 2007
All Sales (vs. Year to date 2006)
Residential Sales Volume: off 20% to $3.4 billion
Residential transactions: off 24% with 10,759
Mobile home sales on land: off 3% to $132 million
Plexes (2-5 units) sales: off 25% to $97 million
Land sales: decreased 44% to $320 million
Commercial volume: off 7% to $662 million
Average residence: $311,912 up 6%
Now you are going to ask me: Dennis! With you having 13 years of experience in Real Estate, having a Real Estate Broker’s license, being a State Licensed Real Estate Instructor at Keller Williams Realty…..How can we have all these negative numbers and still have the average price of homes going UP??? Don’t you think this is crazy??
The answer is not easy. Across the County there are some areas that have appreciated faster than others. More desirable areas. New homes, for instance, have gone up 11%, with the average price now of $377,519. While there have been less homes sold, the price has gone up.
I have more statistics in my office if you care to call me for them!

Some of you, may or may not, know that there was a restaurant on East Main that was called the Hungry Goose. It was always full. They had a gift shop that took up a lot of space. That meant a lot less people could get in for lunch. If you weren’t there early….forget it.
Tim Hall has taken over, named it “HG Bistro”. It’s not new, but is was recently done. He has revamped the interior. There is more space, it looks totaly different and inviting. Check it out online at: www.HGBistro.com
They have menus, hours, directions, etc., at the website.
For those of you who want to know how to get a free gift certificate for some dinner….Call me!!! I’ll fill you in on the procedure. It’s not through Tim at HGBistro….It’s through me, Dennis Endres, Keller Williams Realty, Associate Broker, Real Estate Agent, Ambassador for the Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce, Blogger and All Around Nice Guy.
