In brief:  From Wire Reports:

Home prices see best gain in six years

LOS ANGELES – A measure of U.S. home prices rose in 2012 by the most in six years, buoyed by stronger demand, a lower inventory of unsold homes and fewer sales of bank-owned properties.

Real estate data provider CoreLogic says its home price index, which is based on repeat sales of the same properties, climbed 7.5 percent last year. That’s the biggest annual increase since 2006.

CoreLogic forecasts that home prices will rise 6 percent nationally this year.

CoreLogic estimates that sales of foreclosed homes fell more than 20 percent last year, the third annual decline in a row. That decline, plus a tight supply of homes for sale in many markets, is the main factor driving home prices higher.

from The Wenatchee World


This horse-drawn wagon was the Clarence Haynes’ “camper” when the family left its Entiat Valley home for Lake Stevens in July 1919. The 8 1/2-day trip was made over Colockum Pass. The tarp covering the wagon provided shelter for Mr. and Mrs. Haynes, their daughter, Mary, and son, Jack. Haynes is shown preparing to hitch the horses to the wagon at Wagnersburg, where they stopped before continuing on their journey.
