The Portland Metro market has changed much lately and the value of working
    with a local agent has never been more important than our current market.  We
    have all seen the headlines of the National story in housing over the last five
    years... "A Roller Coaster Ride" in home appreciation and depreciation to say
    the least.   In recent months Oregon has shown significant signs of a leveling
    off of excess housing inventory from our January 2009 peak.  I am very
    optimistic that we are moving forward in a nice Pacific Northwest recovery with
    record low interest rates.  It will take some time for the State to get over higher
    than national average unemployment rates here.  We continue to see a flood of
    new residents eager to experience all Oregon has to offer.  We are now seeing
    hints of home appreciation on close-in Portland homes and heading towards a
    normal market of supply and demand.  Condo inventory will also work itself out
    in time with little new construction planned for the coming years.  It is important
    to understand that prices may rise or fall, but the benefits of home ownership
    stay constant.  There are many real estate search engines that can be used
    online, but few show a personal approach that is required when searching for a
    home specific to your needs!

    It is my goal to listen, educate, and present you the best properties in Oregon!
    Great homes in Portland, and  Bandon on the Southern Oregon Coast.
