Portland Home Values | Are We At Bottom?
As Portland Real Estate Agents we get this question a lot and the short answer is we can’t predict the future. What we can say is that with interest rates this low many individuals much wiser than ourselves are buying now due to real concerns rising interest rates. Put another way, even if a house drops a bit more before it begins to appreciate the savings realized by a very low interest rate can often outweigh any possible advantage of trying to time the market perfectly.

Although home prices around Gresham & Portland Oregon remain attractively low; existing home sales in Gresham have been outpacing new listings for the last few weeks.
Gresham Oregon Buyer's Market | Short Sales
Gresham Short Sales | Home Values
Home values seem to be stabilizing based on the recent data and short sale listing agents breathe a collective sigh of relief. Home buyers are helping to spur the economic recovery through buying short sale inventory. This helps banks liquidate upside down homes while helping struggling home owners avoid foreclosure.
Home values for Gresham Oregon | The Short Sale Effect
If you are upside down on your house and you can’t afford your payment, give us a call: 503-473-8001.
As a short sale listing agent working in Gresham and Portland; this is certainly good news (when the tax credit ended there was a very pronounced slowdown in buying). With asking price per square foot plateaued at around $128; homes are still very affordable.
High percentages of those who do get loan modifications will end up back in default due to the fact that a loan mod only seeks to alleviate some of the financial burden of making payments while stressors such as financial hardship and reduction of income may still exist. For these reasons many are now considering short sales as a viable alternative to foreclosures.
Lower Home Prices make modifications less attractive as home owners want rid of negative equity
I would encourage anyone considering a loan mod in Portland Oregon to “do the math”… that is, really look at the facts and make the right decision.
Some factors worth considering:
-Some loan mods only offer a “teaser-rate” and then the payment will go back up.
-Other loan mods increase the life of the loan: extending it from 30 years to 40-50 years… who wants to be making payments at 90 years old?
-Beware of “temporary” or “trial” loan mods because the bank can later decide to foreclose after receiving the lower payments from the borrower.
-What is your plan for dealing with negative equity? Many loan modifications only lower the payment but leave the home owner many thousands of dollars upside down on the house.
Does your Loan Mod leave you with negative equity?
If you are ready to short sale, call us today: 503-473-8001.
Realty data for the last week of July 2010 has a bit of good news for home owners needing to sell their homes: sales of MLS residential properties have outpaced new listings for the last few weeks. Needles to say, many Realtors as well as those needing to short sale to avoid foreclosure see this as a very positive sign indeed.
