Condos in Portland

Portland Real Estate Market

[caption id="attachment_2512" align="alignleft" width="300" caption=" "][/caption] The market in Portland, OR has remained relatively flat of late.

Although the trend of decreasing buyer action could cause settling if left unchecked. NW Portland offers finely crafted complexes with a plethora of modern amenities so some of the increase in asking price per square foot and median list price may be partly due to larger, newer units are being sold more frequently at this time.

Damascus Oregon Realtors

Short Sales

We pride ourselves in offering professional and discreet service to clients needing to sell a property with negative equity. Negative equity is when the mortgage(s) on a property are too high to be satisfied by the sale of the property. The most common cause of this situation is reduction of property values. Home owners facing situations such as reduction of income, work relocation, medical bills and lifestyle changes need to sell their homes but can't because they owe too much against the home. If this describes your situation then a short sale transaction may be worth serious consideration. In these transactions, we submit a hardship package explaining what happened to the bank and work toward debt forgiveness at today's realistic prices. Don't hesitate to contact us when you are ready…
