Although still dampened Portland Metro February 09 sales have improved significantly over January 09. Housing starts across the US have made a significant increase reported at some 22 % which again shows an iimproving real estate market.

Over the past 20 years that I have been in business I can not tell you how many times I have seen peoples dreams dashed as they realized the market had left them behind. " I just waited to long" or " I was waiting for the market to hit bottom " and " My dad said wait till the market gets better". These statements are Dream Killers. I have heard them to many times.
