Unsure of what to do in a shifting market?

Posted on by Living Room Realty

You’ve heard by now how fast interest rates are rising. From the thick of it, I can tell you that, yes, buyer traffic is slowing down because of it. If you’re a buyer, you may feel like the homes within your new budget are all of a sudden less “desirable”. But I must say, even though we still have extremely tight inventory, about a quarter of the homes I’m seeing on the market are going through a price reduction right now. Take heart! For the savvy buyer, there is still a lot to be gained.⁣
⁣
Remember that interest rates fluctuate, and what we experienced in the last two years was anything but normal. This sharp increase in rates may have you reeling, but overall this will contribute to more stability and predictability to the market we all could use.⁣
⁣
I empathize with you — no one likes a feeling of instability. If interest rates have you doubting your decisions, here are a few ways I can support you. I’m always open for a call, but if you’d like something a little more low-key, you can sign up for my newsletter where my lender partner and I keep you updated with everything you need to know about market movements in order to make an informed decision. Email me and I’ll add you to the list.

Tahlia is a friend of mine and has been for over 20 years. We’ve been through it all, from playing music together and being one of four roommates in our twenties. It makes me so happy that she is beginning a new chapter. As a social worker, she is a helper and a giver by nature. And she’s going to continue her work at Duke University! Though it makes me sad to see you leave Portland, I cannot begin to express my excitement for you. I’m thrilled about on the sale of this adorable home, and for your new home in North Carolina.

VIRTUAL TOUR/SLIDESHOW

Buying New Construction – Things to Look For

Posted on by Living Room Realty

Recently, I helped first time homebuyers purchase a terrific new construction townhome in Concordia (btw, love Concordia). CONGRATS, Cory and Taylor!! Thought I’d share my impressions of what to look for from the builder/seller side of the fence, as this one was a great experience and one that I thought set the bar high.

  • Access to Q&A with the builder: In this case, the builder met the buyers onsite once their offer was accepted to do an initial walk through to answer questions about the design, finishes and in general. Ceanne, from Caliber Homes, also did a thorough “pre-blue tape” walk through to see what kinds of dings and damage happened in the finishing touches of construction, creating a thorough log of repairs to complete, in addition to those that turned up in the inspection (which were few).
  • Incentives: Don’t be shy about asking for any missing appliances or “extras”. Builders get great deals on appliances and if it means closing the deal, they’ll often install. In this recent case, I was able to negotiate the installation of an AC, washer dryer and a new fridge AND closing cost credit. Boom.
  • Warranty: Most new construction comes with a builder’s warranty. Be sure to get a good understanding of what is covered, in addition to any home warranty coverage you should always ask for that is layered on top as part of the sale.
  • After move in walk through: This was also a pleasant surprise – Caliber offered a walk through after the buyers moved in, so they could repair any paint, scuffs or other cosmetic dings that often occur at move in
  • One year walk through: Caliber also will be performing a one year walk through to make sure all systems are operational. Pretty thorough service, if you ask me.

New construction definitely has its appeal – you are getting all new systems and appliances. And depending on the builder, great quality. What can be lacking is the soul and architecture of old Portland.

At any rate, if you’re thinking of buying new construction, give me a shout – we can walk through in more detail.

Till then, high fives!

Curb Appeal Vol. 2: Portland’s Neighborhood Spotlight – Concordia

Posted on by Aryne + Dulcinea

THE MARKET:

Situated north of Alameda and Beaumont-Wilshire in the Portland’s fast-developing Northeast quadrant, the cozy Concordia neighborhood earned it’s name from nearby Concordia University. With over 100,000 residents, first-time homebuyers and established homeowners are drawn to the district for its diversity and access to local amenities. In their recent real estate issue, Portland Monthly projected homes located in the Concordia neighborhood area will average $518,304. Lasting an average of 25 days after listing, Concordia outperforms the city average of 31 days on the market.

 

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT CONCORDIA:

The Concordia neighborhood grew to prominence in the 19th century, when many newcomers found refuge in the area following the 1948 Vanport flood, which displaced hordes of ship workers local to North Portland. Following the flood, Portland completed an extensive revitalizing project to improve the area’s retail and transit infrastructure, aiming to make the area more hospitable for its expanding population. Since that time, Concordia has earned recognition for being a hub for local artists. From the ashes of mid-century displacement, Concordia has blossomed into one of the liveliest districts in Northeast Portland. Earning a Walk Score of 76, residents in this area can walk to an average of seven eateries and bars within five minutes.
