About Waterfront and View Properties

Douglas County, Oregon is an area that spans from the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean. The North Umpqua, South Umpqua, Mainstem Umpqua, and Smith Rivers are the primary waterways. Glide, Idleyld Park, and Steamboat are a few of the small communities on the winding, well maintained highway to Diamond Lake in the Cascade Range.  Fishing in this part of Oregon is world class as are the numerous swimming holes.

The Smith River watershed and the coastal estuary are also part of Douglas County but are very different from the rest of the county.

Even with creeks and rivers criss-crossing the county, finding the perfect riverfront, waterfront, lakefront, ocean, beachfront or view property for sale can be more challenging because of limited availability.  Many properties have creek frontage but whether that is a seasonal or year-round system makes a big difference.  In addition, the price may be a factor as waterfront and ocean properties have increased in popularity. So, finding the right property at the right price may take time.

For the Buyer of Waterfront, Ocean, and View Property

In the end, time and commitment will be well worth it when you find the perfect waterfront or view property in Oregon. Here are a few things to consider:

  • Be patient.  Waterfront property is uncommon.  The right waterfront property is even more uncommon.  Every property has a view.  Few have great views.
  • Be sure you have a realtor who is patient and persistent. It takes time to find the right spot.
  • If you are looking at properties on the coast, keep in mind the harsh conditions that exist there. Houses need to be built differently there.

Walt Gayner has the knowledge, patience, and commitment to find the right property for the right price.

 

For the Seller of Waterfront, Ocean, and View Property

  • Be sure your property is priced right.  Non-waterfront property is frequently mixed with waterfront property during the market analysis process and that drives down the perceived value of waterfront property.  In many cases, water frontage brings up the price around $100,000 over the same property not on a waterway.
  • Make sure you have a real estate representative who knows the value of what you have. 
  • Does your broker give the property good exposure?  You have a rare commodity, it shouldn't be kept a secret.
  • The promotional material should be consistent with the caliber of your property.
  • Is your property easily seen through the internet and is ample data readily available?
