Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/cascadia-investments/cascadia-investments.htm

Cascadia Investments, Inc. (CDIN) is a publicly traded real estate company, focusing on selecting high-quality, multi-family and residential properties and managing them to provide a superior return rate. These properties are often financially distressed properties (pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, or bank-owed) and are priced at a discount. CDIN is experienced with producing a high rental income by buying, renovating, and then selling or holding real estate, depending on the current market.

Because CDIN is a publicly traded entity and have access to equity markets, it enjoys a competitive advantage over other companies operating in its geographical area. Many of these companies are similar to CDIN in style, but privately-held.

For the past ten years, Cascadia Investments, Inc. has focused its efforts in and around the Pacific Northwest, USA. The company has developed a network of contacts in the Seattle-Tacoma real estate market, while developing a reputation for improving neighborhoods. By renovating distressed properties, CDIN is able to provide safe and affordable residences to our neighbors, improving the quality of living in these areas.

CDIN specifically targets neglected and abandoned homes and multiplexes that will produce better than average capital gains once they are renovated.

January 31 - Pacific Northwest Real Estate Markets Remain Robust

Cascadia Investments, Inc. (OTC: CDIN) announced that, while the rest of the country is experiencing turmoil in their real estate markets, the Pacific Northwest continues to experience growth as a result of its diversified economy, which is responsible for employment and migration from other parts of the country.

The following is an excerpt from a recent USA TODAY article:

In many cities, home sales are suffering from the collapse of the sub prime market and a wave of foreclosures. But Tacoma, Washington is largely insulated from that turmoil.

In part, that's because the area is home to two military installations: Fort Lewis and McCord Air Force Base. And it has a leading North American seaport that's a gateway to Asia and Alaska. Some new residents are drawn to the area for its proximity to three large national parks: Mount Rainier, Olympic and North Cascades.

"We have a real solid market year in and year out," says Patrick Maddock, president of the Tacoma-Pierce County Association of Realtors. "Foreclosure is not a big problem here." Tacoma also attracts some homeowners who work in Seattle. "They prefer the less-urban locale, and they like to maintain their quality of life here because it's more affordable."

"If buyers are waiting for the bottom to fall out, it's not going to happen," says Tom Hume, a real estate agent at Windermere Professional Partners.

One reason Tacoma's home sales have slowed, experts say, is that they're following record sales in 2004 and 2005. The downturn hasn't had an effect on prices, which are still rising, because Tacoma has a solid economy based on strong employment:

The Tacoma news tribune reports "Pierce County home prices increased last year amid a difficult national housing market, though not as substantially as price boosts elsewhere in the Puget Sound."

Propertyshark.com recently reported that Seattle has the lowest number of foreclosures between New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. Seattle comes in second for lowest rate of foreclosures.

All of the positive news is encouraging for Cascadia Investments, Inc. as it continues with its focus of creating equity, generating revenue, and maximizing the value of its stock.
