For those interested in what happens with realestate in the Yakima Valley around Christmas time, the answer is that the market slows down as people enjoy the holidays with their families and friends, but as soon as Jan. hits and people get their tax retuns back, buyers and sellers consider their plans for the new year. Based on sales and appraisals, our market is considered stable. There are a few foreclosures in the county. The majority of those homes are well under $90,000 and tend to be in ruff shape and in older neighborhoods. Our market is quite different, unlike other parts of the country.
