"CASHMERE - She did it. With a lot of patience and some help from state and local agencies, bus driver and part-time store clerk Christine Yarger bought a house last month.
She did it at a time when the area home market is flush with record-high sale prices following one of the hottest real estate streaks in history.Yarger, 47, and her two teenage children moved in May into their new 1940s-era cinder-block home with a cozy and updated interior.The clutter of family already fills the three-bedroom, two-bath home on its corner lot beside a huge elm tree. Dogs Ebony and Ivory - both jet black - lord happily over the front porch and side yard. Yarger began the home- buying process three years ago.
"I called the USDA (farm home loan program) and said I was just looking, just feeling the water," she said. "It would have been the only way I could buy a home and have that security."
