Portland real estate seems to be on fire as of late.  The extremely low inventory and still historically low interest rates are rapidly creating a strong Seller's market.  Being the owner of PortlandMLSDirect.com and Realty Net, my company works with a lot of Home-buyer's in the Portland Metro area. For the last month or so many of our clients have found themselves in multiple offer situations with homes that just went on the market.  If you wait a day or two before you get out to see the home it's gone... Good homes are selling really fast.

I would like to offer the following strategy if you are serious about finding a home.  Make sure you have created an account (Click here to create account) on our site. This will enable you to receive automated new listing e-mails of the hottest new properties as soon as they hit the market. When you see a home you think looks good, go out and drive by the home as soon as possible.  If it passes the neighborhood test, call us immediately to schedule an appointment at 503-770-0580.  This number is a Google Voice number and follows are team everywhere we go.  If we can't answer, your phone message is converted to a text e-mail and we can read it in minutes.  Make sure to give us the MLS number or address of the property.  One of our team members will do their best to contact you within 30 minutes.
