As in year past, I am unbelievably grateful and in awe of how fabulous my clients are. I work only by referral or word of mouth, so most of the time the folks who come to me know someone I worked with or know someone who knows someone who has worked with me at some point. A million thanks to those who worked with me in 2023 and those that referred good people to me! Over the last couple of years I’ve had a number of clients find me on their own and after reading my bio and my google reviews, reach out to work with me. So all you peeps you leave me the best reviews are just gold to me!
The overall market saw a huge decline in the number of transactions between 2022 and 2023- with some areas of town seeing a 35% decrease in number of homes sold. Despite these market numbers, I was extremely lucky in that I was able to work exactly the same number of transactions in 2023 as 2022- 27.
I have always loved patterns, stats and spreadsheets. If you care about these such things and are curious what some of my numbers look like, read on!
Of the 27 homes I sold, six were condos 22%, and half of those condos were all in the same new construction townhomes just 4 blocks from my house, and the rest were single family detched homes. Two of the single family homes were on SE Knight St., only 11 blocks apart. Seven of the homes (26%) were within 6 blocks of my house. All of the homes were in the City of Portland in Multnomah County.
- Number of transactions where I represented the sellers: 9 (33%)
- Average sold price of a home I listed: $565,000. Of those 9 homes, 4 had multiple offers and sold for over list price, and 1 was sold off-market.
- The average age of a home I listed was 1939.
- Four of the 9 seller transactions I had resulted in over asking prices as the result of multiple offers, and 1 was an off-market sale where my sellers sold their home to some friends of theirs, so it never hit the market.
- Number of transactions where I represented the buyers: 18 (67%)
- Average sold price for a home I helped a buyer purchase: $537,181
- The average age of a home I helped a buyer purchase was 1962.
- Four of the 18 buyer transactions I had resulted in my buyers paying over list as the result of multiple offers.
Homes sold by area in Portland:
- Homes in N: 3
- Homes in NE: 6
- Homes in SE: 14
- Homes in S/SW: 4
- Homes in NW: 0
