In the process of pulling comparable properties for clients, my office staff often stumbles upon some real gems. By gems, I mean spectacular photos that showcase a property or home at its best. Open curtains with natural light flooding in! Level photos that showcase each room at its best angle, showing every desirable feature! They are the photos that make sellers happy and entice buyers to visit a property. And then, there are the other photos, what we all refer to as the worst of … (0 comments)

oregon: Knowing When to Do a Price Reduction
- 11/03/15 08:15 AM
As a home seller, you want to net the highest possible price for your property. However, as the real estate market is constantly fluctuating, it may mean that the ideal listing price changes. Occasionally, by reducing the listing price, sellers can ensure that their property is comparably priced against similar homes to be in front of the largest pool of poten-tial buyers. This helps ensure consistent showings and can encourage multiple offers to bring a higher sale price than would be otherwise gained without a price reduction.
So, how do home sellers know when it is time to consider reducing the price? … (2 comments)
The months of inventory (MOI) for the Portland Metro markets, including Washington, Multnomah and Yamhill County, have remained relatively steady through August and September as the summer rush of home sales has remained steady through both months. However, the increased MOI in September for homes priced between $1,000,000 and $1,999,999 is representative of reduced buyers in this price range. Typically, through the fall and winter, we forecast an increased MOI across all price ranges as many home buyers postpone moving between school years and the holiday season. Homes priced at $299,999 and below … (0 comments)

oregon: 10 Things That Help Homes Sell Quickly in the Spring Rush!
- 03/26/15 03:39 AM
The spring housing rush is here in Oregon! Some of the homes listed with The Kelly Group aren’t even on the market for a week now before going pending! However, some properties take a bit longer to find the right buyer. Why? Well, every listing broker can give you a list of what he/she has found helpful for getting homes to sell, especially those homes that haven’t been getting all the showings. If you compared all those listing brokers’ lists side by side, they would have an awful lot in common! That’s because, truth be told, there are only about 10 … (4 comments)
