oregon: My Best Idea Yet
- 05/12/08 06:16 AM
As I was sitting at home the other day, I was thinking about our current real estate market. Of course, it seems all I do is thinking about real estate. Anyway, I came up with a great idea to help improve the value of your home and all it requires you to do is one simple thing. TURN OFF YOUR TV!!!! Think about it, all of the negativity that the media sends out about the current market is really depressing. Yes, things are bad for some people and the market isn't as hot as it once was but this is not … (0 comments)
oregon: Dollar Menu
- 04/18/08 06:41 AM
As we have all heard or read, the dollar has not been doing so well as of late. But wait, there are signs of things turning around for the dollar. On Friday, the dollar bounced back against the Euro after hitting a record low against it on Thursday. The dollar has also bounced back against the Yen. So how do we know for sure that things will turn around? We won't until they do obviously. It is the same thing as people saying they are waiting for the bottom of the market to buy. You never know it is the … (0 comments)

Plus, things aren't that bad everywhere. If you look at Portland, Oregon you will see that it was number 9 on the top ten hottest markets in the US. … (0 comments)

oregon: Attention Buyers
- 02/15/08 05:06 PM
If you are looking at buying a house, now is the time!!! How many times have you heard that in the past week, month, year? I am guessing very many. So is it the right time to buy? Well, it all depends on what is important to you. I am guessing that a good interest rate and a good loan are probably high on the list. Well, the rates right now are rather low. Of course good credit always helps to get you the best rate. Another thing buyers have in their favor is selections. We all want lots of choices … (0 comments)
