Tillamook County Oregon Real Estate Guide

Are you looking for a vacation condo on the Oregon coast or a home in Rockaway Beach, Neskowin or Oceanside?  
Perhaps you're searching for a new place to call home in Manzanita, Garibaldi, Tillamook or Pacific City.  Scenic Tillamook County, Oregon 
may be just the location you've been searching for.  Come see why so many people love the Oregon coast lifestyle!

.
If you've ever driven along the Oregon coast on U.S. Highway 101 (also known as the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway), you know the natural beauty of this area!  While you'll find many real estate listings of waterfront properties, including oceanfront homes, there are also mountainside properties that offer breathtaking views.

More people are choosing to buy a vacation home, condo or townhouse in one of the towns along the Oregon coastline in order to have a weekend getaway place that they can also use as an investment property by offering it as a vacation rental.  Some may one day decide to make it their primary residence.

With the many bays, lakes and rivers found in the greater Tillamook County area, it's no wonder so many people are attracted to the area and want to buy real estate in this region of Oregon.  A search of the MLS will reveal real estate listings of homes, townhouses, condos, lots and land in all price ranges... some of which are likely to match your preferences.

If you're shopping for a home loan, you can still find mortgages at low rates.  Higher inventory levels of real estate for sale provide home buyers with greater choices and the ability to negotiate better deals.  Current real estate market conditions are allowing for more affordable housing in part because of the amount of foreclosure properties as well as short sale homes and condos.  Even some home builders are offering incentives on new construction.

Come live on the Oregon coast!Are you looking for an oceanfront cottage with panoramic windows so you can watch the tide or fog roll in and out?  Or a condo, townhome or house that is just steps to the beach and offers an ocean view so you can enjoy the sunsets?  Perhaps you'd prefer a hillside property with mountain views so you can watch the local wildlife and go walking nearby nature trails?  

In the many coastal Oregon communities, you'll find a good variety of properties with various features including fireplaces, lofts, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, an in-unit laundry room or closet with a stacked or full size washer & dryer, attached garages, deck, patios, or a balcony. Some homes have been updated to include new custom cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, Jacuzzi/jetted tubs and more.

Some subdivisions/developments offer popular amenities such as a clubhouse with kitchen facilities, tennis courts, pool, and even a golf course.  You'll even find gated communities for added privacy and security.

If your preference is to purchase a turnkey vacation rental condo or townhouse, some are offered fully furnished and some even offer on site rental management for your convenience.

.

Some condos are vacation homes for people who typically live within a 2-3 hour drive of the Oregon coast.  Some of these are also investments for their owners who offer them as vacation rentals.  If a condo is what you're looking for, then consider the Rockaway Beach condo communities of Tide's End, The Commons at Lake Lytle, Escape Townhomes, Rockaway Shores or Rock Creek condominiums.  Others worth taking a look at include Pacific Sands in Neskowin or The Capes in Oceanside, Oregon.

Searching for affordable housing?  Take a look at Bay Place in Nehalem, Ocean Lake or Cedar Creek in Rockaway Beach, Sunnyside in Bay City or Wilson Beach in Netarts, Oregon.  Moderately priced housing can be found in neighborhoods such as Angler's Acres in Nehalem as well as Timberlake Resort, White Dove Estates and Nedonna Beach in Rockaway Beach, Oregon.  Additionally, check out Garibaldi Cove in Garibaldi, Munson Creek in Tillamook as well as Ocean Highlands in Netarts.  If you love Oceanside, Oregon, be sure to view properties in the neighborhoods of Avalon, Lost Boy Cove and Oceanside Village.  Further south along the coast are the communities of Pacific City Heights, Dory Pointe and Tierra del Mar in the scenic coastal town of Pacific City, Oregon.

If a luxury home is more your style, then check out the Netarts homes available in Silver Sands, Whiskey Creek, Lovejoy Point and Vista View.  You can also find luxury houses in the upscale Oceanside communities of Terrasea, Avalon Heights and Ocean Pines or in Tillamook's Valley View Estates.  A bit further north, in Rockaway Beach, take a look at luxury homes for sale in the subdivisions of Pacific View Estates, Manhattan and Terwilliger View Estates or try Manzanita's Neahkahnie neighborhood.  On the other hand, if your location preference leans more towards southwestern Tillamook County, then perhaps the luxury residences in Pacific City's Kiwanda Shores and Nestucca Ridge neighborhoods or Neskowin's Sahhali Shores or Pacific Sands Heights would appeal to you.
