Current Market Conditions:
Portland area is a buy now opportunity. Excellent interest rates and high inventory make it the best buyers market in years with 16,370 active listings. Lake Oswego inventory has slowed in the new construction of many well appointed homes. West Linn real estate offers many opportunites for the step up buyer looking to take advantage of competitive pricing and move into this wonderful community.
High inventories offer selection to ready buyers and continue to motivate sellers to be priced right.
If you are a buyer waiting on the side lines for the prices to hit bottom, be aware that selected markets may be there now. Though numbers may be slow in comparison to month over month in 2007, we are now trending up with pending sales up 6.8% March to April for the first time since April 2005.
Past twelve month appreciation 4.5%.*
Recap of 2007 marked the 5th highest sales record year for the residential market. As the market shifts and settles, real estate will continue to be the best investment. Median home prices are within 2% of the all time high of existing home prices set in 2006. Homes are holding value in our market, good news for both buyers, sellers, and investors.
Real estate is local and similar to the weather, the national forecast won't give us today or tomorrows local data. Don't let the national press tell you whats going on in Portland's real estate market.
Portland area new home sales, existing home sales, and condo sales vary greatly from community to community. Not all areas are trending the same, soft pockets remain throughout the metro areas.

Mortgage 101 - Financing - Short Sales - Pre foreclosures
What’s the best mortgage strategy for you? Understanding common mortgage options, the benefits and potential pitfalls of each, and for whom they’re best suited, can help you make the best financial decision. Read more...What you need to know NOW about short sales and pre foreclosures.
|
In the recent real estate boom of 2000 to 2005, homeowners who felt the squeeze by their monthly payments when their adjustable-rate mortgages rose simply refinanced or sold the properties, sometimes pocketing thousands of dollars in the process as homes appreciated. For many, neither of the options are as easy today. Not only are banks tightening credit standards, but increased inventories and softening prices are preventing many recent buyers from selling quickly, making a profit, or breaking even.
If you are falling behind, don't delay. In a pre foreclosure the clock is ticking. Know your time lines and stick to them. Communicate any delays to your lender and all parties involved. Confused about where to start?
