Getting All "My" Geese In A Row....celebrating 500,000 AR points with a picture header

With this post I cruise over the 500,000 point mark here in ActiveRAIN.  It's well past time to have a picture header across the top of this AR Blog.

But before I could get all my real geese in a row (across the top of this blog), I first had to get my figurative blogging ducks in a row.

In the last (nearly) three years of RAINING, I have learned a lot.  But until today I had never even entertained the possibility of putting a pix across the masthead of this blog.

Then today, I commented on, my friend, Todd Clark's Beaverton, Oregon blog and once again felt header-picture envy. So I emailed Todd who referred me to the freely available Picnic program as an easy way to make one of my personal photos fit the 960 X 130 pixel AR blog-header space.  I also used the AR "Search" function to find Joni Staplestutorial on the use of Picnic.

That enabled me to go from this:

To this:

Same Geese in a row, Alton Baker Park, Eugene, OR, Jim Hale, ACTIONAGENTS.NET

 

This goose banner pix is just intended to be temporary. 

Now that I know how easy this task is, I'll try to swap in some other pix over time.  Maybe I'll be able to catch some actual Ducks in similar row.

 

This is Duck Country, after all:

OREGON DUCKS Rose Bowl ChampionsDucks in a Row, Autzen Stadium, 2011

Getting geese in a row is one thing. Getting our local Ducks to stay in a line long enough to snap a pix is a lot harder.  (You'll see the ball flying just above the 50-yard marker.)

Rose to Power, Oregon Ducks

HOMES FOR SALE - EUGENE, OR - WEST EUGENE Neighborhood REAL ESTATE- Active Listings, Closed Sales, Average Sale Price - WEST EUGENE RMLS Market Area - Months of DECEMBER, 2001-2011 - Jim Hale, Principal Broker, ACTIONAGENTS.NET


THE MOST MEANINGFUL LOOK AT DATA FOR HOMES FOR SALE IN EUGENE, OR

 IS TO COMPARE

THE CURRENT MONTH WITH THE SAME MONTH IN PRIOR YEARS

 

 For the last four years, December has found West Eugene with sales lower than during the boom - but similar to ten years ago. But this year inventory jumped down drastically.

That should have made average price hold steady.  Instead it dropped.

 

Here for the

WEST EUGENE

RMLS Market Area, are:

 

A decade's worth of supply (Active Listings) and demand (Closed Sales)
for the

Months of DECEMBER

2001 - 2011:

HOMES FOR SALE - EUGENE, OR - WEST EUGENE Neighborhood REAL ESTATE- Active Listings, Closed Sales - WEST EUGENE RMLS Market Area - Months of DECEMBER, 2001-2011 - Jim Hale, Principal Broker, ACTIONAGENTS.NET
 

 

And a decade of Average Prices for Closed Sales
for Homes in Eugene, Oregon for the

Months of DECEMBER

2001 - 2011:

HOMES FOR SALE - EUGENE, OR - WEST EUGENE Neighborhood REAL ESTATE - Average Sale Price - WEST EUGENE RMLS Market Area - Months of DECEMBER, 2001-2011 - Jim Hale, Principal Broker, ACTIONAGENTS.NET
 

 

 

These average sales prices represent the arithmetic mean for those residential closed sales in this RMLS market area.   The mix of homes sold varies over time.  The average price for some months is drastically affected by an unusual number of homes selling at the TOP or BOTTOM of the range of prices.  A history of the variation in the statistical median for homes sold would make for a better comparison but is unavailable from RMLS.
