As we step into April and watch Portland come alive with spring color, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the changes we’re seeing - not just in the season, but in the broader economic landscape.
It’s no secret that the market has been adjusting. Interest rates, inflation, and affordability continue to shape real estate decisions for many. But amidst these shifts, one thing remains true - people are still buying and selling homes because life keeps moving. Whether it’s a growing family, a job relocation, downsizing, or the dream of living in a new neighborhood, these motivations are real - and they’re powerful.
The good news? Inventory is starting to pick up, and with the right strategy and guidance, opportunities still exist for both buyers and sellers to move confidently. Navigating the market may look a little different than it did a year ago, but that’s where experience and local insight make all the difference.
If you're considering making a move or simply curious about what’s possible in today’s market, I’d love to connect. Let’s talk about how to make the next chapter happen - on your terms.
Here’s to new beginnings and fresh opportunities this spring.
Much gratitude,
