🏡 Thinking About Buying or Selling a Home? Here’s What You Need to Know About Today’s Oregon Market

Whether you’re dreaming about buying your first home or wondering if now’s the time to sell, the real estate market can feel like a puzzle—but that’s where I come in. With the right guide and a strong plan, you can confidently take the next step in your journey.

Here’s what you should know right now if you’re buying or selling in Oregon:

📈 For Sellers: It’s Still a Great Time to Shine

Even with interest rates shifting, motivated buyers are still out there—especially those moving up from other states like California or looking for more space and peace of mind.

Why sellers are still winning:

• Low inventory = less competition

• Out-of-state buyers are driving demand in towns like Canby, Newberg, and beyond

• Well-prepped homes are selling quickly and often at top dollar

• Equity is strong—you may be sitting on more than you realize!

✨ Thinking of selling? Let’s talk strategy—whether you need help decluttering, staging, or just understanding your home’s current value. I’ll walk with you every step of the way.

🔑 For Buyers: Be Prepared, Be Strategic, Be Excited

Yes, interest rates are higher than a few years ago—but that doesn’t mean the dream is out of reach. The truth is, buyers who are prepared and patient are finding beautiful homes and building long-term wealth.

Here’s how buyers are winning right now:

• More time to decide (no more rushed bidding wars!)

• Creative financing options and seller-paid buy-downs

• Room to negotiate on price, repairs, and even closing costs

• The power of ownership—stop paying rent and start building equity

💡 My advice? Don’t wait for the “perfect” time—create it with the right plan and the right agent (hint: that’s me 😊).
