Housing: Area struggles to meet demand
Continued from Page 1
ployees for its new store that
opens in June, and business-
es throughout the North Ore-
gon Coast have trouble hiring
as job seekers struggle to find
places to live.
“Where are you going to
house them,” Ackley asked.
“They can’t find affordable
housing.
If you’ve got a new physi-
cian moving to town, they
can live in that $400,000 to
$700,000 (new home) zone.
“New
homes
that we sold
last
year
in
the
$299,000
range are now
up to $320- to
$350,000
be- Ackley
cause of the short supply.”
Already, Warrenton’s aver-
age home sale is $263,589;
Hammond’s is $276,236.
Families in the lower pay
ranges will suffer, she said.
There’s a good supply of
two-bedroom apartments in
the $1,000 to $1,200 range.
“We’re building those like
nobody’s business, but you
can’t put a family in there.”
Countywide, an estimated
353 new homes will be need-
ed to serve the growing econ-
omy, according to a housing
study done on behalf of the
Way to Wellville program,
which is working with the
Kinder Ready collaborative.
There are many new homes
in the pipeline in Warren-
ton and Hammond, Ackley

“Astoria has no buildable

strictive because every prop-
erty is on septic and Seaside

ley said.
Warrenton is the region’s
last hope with its large bank
