That's how many single family homes are listing for sale in the
Clatsop MLS right this minute. Six months ago there were
over 500, and that number has been slowly declining ever
since- even as we've moved into winter and what is normally the
slowest time of the year. We will certainly see that number creep
up as those that put off listing their home until after the
holidays put things ...
I went back in the CMLS recently and researched the market trends

Weyerhaeuser Co. announced yesterday that its Warrenton lumber mill
would be sold to Oregon based Hampton Affiliates, a company with
several other lumber mills in the Northwest. The announcement
couldn't come at a worse time, with the holidays approaching and
the local job market soft enough that the employees will have a
tough time finding a new job anytime soon. I do hope that Hampton
will ...

It was announced made public a few months ago that a new Walmart store would be coming to Warrenton, Oregon near Marlin Avenue. Immediately mixed reactions were spouted from every local media outlet: print, radio, tv and the blogosphere.
