Yes, yes you can!!
My first time home buyers just closed, at list, on a sweet townhouse in the Hollywood District, super clean inspection and move in ready! Fast forward to this weekend, two more buyers in contract, one at list and one just $5k over. Both of these buyers were competing in multiple offer situations, they had strong terms that didn’t give up their contingencies. These two homes are also in great condition and we anticipate fairly clean inspections.
As we creep towards the dreary dark wet days of winter we are seeing a shift in the market. We are still seeing multiple offers but the pace feels more manageable and the buyers can safely get their hopes up a bit more Sometimes the late fall market is a mad dash of houses that need to move and the inventory is of homes that need love, it feels different this year. We are still seeing some stunner listings hit the market and it’s keeping the joy of touring alive!
If you have been on the fence about making a move or dipping your toe into homeownership, the madness of Spring is waining, buyer fatigue is more avoidable and you can get a sweet spot to love before the cold of winter.

I have called Portland home for over 20 years and can’t imagine raising my babies
anywhere else. I have been a REALTOR® for over a decade and still wake up every day
delighted that I truly love what I do. I love helping people find their home sweet home,
score an investment property that pencils out better than expected, holding the hand of
a first-time homebuyer, or guiding a nervous seller through the process of leaving a home
they’ve loved. I know Portland like the back of my hand and have a wealth of knowledge
about our unique homes and rapidly growing inventory of new construction.
I have loved up many homes over the years, from a total restoration of an 1894 Victorian
farmhouse to a full remodel of 1942 ranch and several in between. I enjoy educating my
clients on the home buying and selling process as well as educating them on how to care
for their home. I strive to help buyers understand their homes' unique qualities, how to
love them up, and the realities of vintage homeownership.
Each real estate transaction is different and for many people the entire process is new
and can feel overwhelming. I work hard to help clients manage expectations and give
them perspective along the way. I also truly love negotiating and believe it can be done
with grace and cooperation. Over the years many of my clients have become my friends
and I am grateful for the joy this career has brought me.
When I am not scouring the new listings, meeting clients for pie or reading up on all
things real estate, I am busy filling my days with goodness. I currently live in my dream
home in St. Johns with my husband, 3 kids, 2 cats, 2 ducks and goose! I am an avid
gardener, growing over 30 varieties of fruits and vegetables and countless plants and
flowers, including nearly 1000 tulips and over 100 dahlia varieties. During the spring
and summer we have a little free table with bouquets and plant starts for our
community. When the garden doesn’t need me you can find me in the kitchen. I try to
bake once a day, everything from sourdough to french macarons. I graduated with an
art degree and find great joy in painting and making pottery, there is almost always an
art project happening at the dining room table. I am a dedicated traveler and have made
exploring the world with my babies a priority. When we aren’t traveling internationally
we explore our corner of the world in our Vanagon, Dr. Coffey!
I am in constant awe of the beauty of the PNW and feel grateful that this is my home
sweet home. I absolutely believe that everyone should love where they live and won’t let
anyone settle!
