Blog Buyer Priced out of Portland & Vancouver? Consider the move to Longview!

Priced out of Portland & Vancouver? Consider the move to Longview!

By Martin Cross, June 23, 2022

It’s getting tougher every day for first-time home buyers to purchase in the Portland metro area. But if you’re willing to expand your search, buyers can get a lot more bang for their buck just an hour north in Longview, Wa.

For example, this fully remodeled 3 Bedroom 1 bath home, complete with a garage and large fenced yard, can be found in the mid $300s. All in a quiet neighborhood and close to a beautiful lakeside park.

If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell property in Oregon or Washington, give me a call!

He/Him

I have lived in Portland my entire life and spent the last 20 years in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood of SE Portland. As such, I know inner SE like the back of my hand and I am very familiar with most neighborhoods in the Portland metro area. After almost 25 years filling people's homes with great design and art I shifted my love of finding great things, for great people, towards Real Estate. My eye for quality and attention to detail serves both my buyers and sellers equally. As a business owner most of my life, I understand the concepts of problem solving, coordination with others, and hard work. I always say..."Great things rarely come from a 40 hour work week." If you want a Portland native who is hard working, responsive, and compassionate - give me a call. I look forward to working with you to find that perfect home or that perfect buyer for yours whether the house be Craftsmen, Modern, brand new, or a fixer.
