It's About Time!

In an effort to keep my readers up to date on local real estate, I wanted to share this article I recently read on nuwireinvestor.com regarding the Portland real estate market.  Click below to view the article.  It cites a few key areas (Close in North East and South East) and even a couple of neighborhoods (Alberta Arts District and St. Johns) as some key places to keep your eye on.  If you would like more specific stats on these two areas just drop me an email.  I will try to post a few recent listings later today or tomorrow to give you a better idea of what you might be able to find right now.

Portland Area Real Estate


ALL THINGS REAL ESTATE...

It's hard to imagine the news of late without something being said about real estate...mostly terrible tales of foreclosure and drops in value, sub-prime mortgages and loss in equity, the housing bubble and  the mortgage meltdown.

Portland...stop listening to the news and reading the paper.  You live in one of three cities (Seattle, WA and Charlotte, NC round out the list) in the entire country that have seen values increase over the last year and the real estate market remain stable.   Unfortunately most of the news we get is from national sources and news feeds...adding to the hysteria and nervousness of buyers and sellers in our city of Portland.  This blog was designed and developed with the idea of giving you a local source of real estate news and market updates.  Each market across the country is unique, and as true Portlanders, would we expect anything less from our "unique" city?  I will make sure to keep you up to date on what is going on nation wide as well, but always with a focus of how that relates to us here locally.  I'll be posting great deals that I come across the market as well.  Feel free to post, email, or even call me with any questions or comments.  If you have an article you'd like to see posted, just let me know.  This is a local blog with local news generated by local residents.
