If you’re preparing to sell your home in Portland, you might be picturing bidding wars, multiple offers, and buyers driving up the price. And yes, that still happens in some cases! But in today’s more balanced Portland real estate market, it’s essential to look beyond just the number on the offer.

When you think of Portland, what comes to mind? Coffee, bikes, bridges… maybe even a food cart pod or two. But have you ever stopped to wonder what those five little numbers at the end of our addresses actually mean?

The Portland real estate market continues to shift, but one thing remains true—homes that are priced well and in good condition are still moving fast. Even though we’re no longer in the frenzied bidding wars of previous years, smart, strategic offers are more important than ever if you're hoping to buy a home in Portland.

As a blended family with six amazing kids, finding a home that offered space, comfort, and a central location for commuting and connecting with their family was essential.

We are beyond excited to celebrate Steve and Kate on the purchase of their stunning new home in The Davis Condos! Nestled in the heart of Portland’s Alphabet District and just minutes from all the shops, restaurants, parks, and culture that make NW Portland so special, this home is more than just a beautiful place to land—it’s a piece of Portland’s architectural history.

We’re thrilled to celebrate Laila and her path to homeownership—one marked by patience and perseverance.

Laila toured home after home, submitted offer after offer, and faced the disappointment of being outbid multiple times. But she never gave up. Each setback only sharpened her vision of what she truly wanted, and she moved forward with hope and determination every single time.

For generations, the path to homeownership looked a little like this: buy a small, affordable “starter home,” live in it for a few years, build equity, then upgrade when life—and budget—allowed.

Let’s be real: Portland’s housing market is competitive. If you’ve fallen in love with a home recently, only to get outbid, you’re not alone. One of the biggest patterns we’re seeing right now? Buyers leaning heavily on comps (comparable sales) when writing their offers—and then losing out because they’re not reading the room.
