A homeowner’s personal preferences and styles is still the first choice in today’s home buying. However, excellence and high performance is the hub of the home buying process more than quantity. Bigger is not the standard now, but smaller that promises great savings. Want to sell a home? Here is what home buyers are looking for this 2010:

Open Floor Plans – Appliances, granite counter tops for kitchen, living rooms, and master bedrooms all on the first floor. Potential home owners are now becoming more economical to reduce operating cost.

Amenities – 2010 buyers prefer newly built homes that are not really as big as past buyers prefer. Energy-efficient appliances is a must in a home that is easy to organized, and economical..

Accessibility – Potential homeowners are looking for homes intended for aging like Condo units with elevators, which are more engaging than conventional walk up alternatives or single-family homes like in Yakima WA Homes where staircases and bathrooms can accommodate electric chairs and support handles.

Energy Efficiency – Potential homeowners are looking in to home functions more than ever before. According to The Builder/American Lives New-Home Shoppers Survey, today’s home buyers are eager to invest on economical yet efficient products like high-performance windows, high efficiency HVAC and insulation.

Functionality – Today’s home owners want a home where they could unwind and loosen up without going out. Literally a place where they don’t have to go out, where entertainment showplaces like custom built-in bars, theater areas, exercise rooms and guest suites invite each member to stay for a while. Because freelancing is becoming prevalent, numerous home buyers scout for home wher they could business inside their homes.

Homeownership is a sign of freedom, financial stability and independence which truly gives a sense of pride and excitement. The American dream continues as more and more people wanted to buy a home. So, if you are planning to buy a home at Yakima Washington Real Estate take note that this year’s home buying trend might go beyond your expectations.

27 Miles east of the Chinook Pass Scenic Byway summit along WA State Route 410 sets Whistlin’ Jack Lodge & Resort. Built in 1931, the original lodge that served as a waypoint for weary travelers along the route was purchased by the Williams Family in 1957 and transformed to what has become a world class tradition in mountain hospitality.

The lodge that exists today was built around the original building and relics of the old historic lodge can still be found through-out the building today, including the old original natural stone fireplace found in the Fireside Lounge.

Whistlin’ Jack Lodge today is a favorite getaway for those Mount Rainier/Chinook Pass area travelers and tourists looking for a Mountain Retreat which is centrally located on the Naches River between the summit of Chinook Pass and Yakima Washington.

Accomodations at the Lodge include:

* Cabin, Cottage and Bungalow Rentals
