Home Sales and Prices Drop Precipitously in March

And now I have something to write about. Perhaps it’s about how my clients and I just got outbid on a property this weekend, having chosen a softer approach to negotiation, which wasn’t warranted in this marketplace, on this property. Perhaps not.

Are we defying gravity? Well, for this week at least. Last week we couldn’t keep up. This week we are catching our breath, but we are still moving pretty quickly……Time for prices to rise?

Ask me next month….

Busy Week in Hood River! The sun has come back out, and things are picking up. Pretty much like we had hoped, there’s a lot of activity under $400, and over $700. Blossom Fest is upon us and we are expecting a busy weekend.

Mosier Creek is in full swing, the Flats are almost done, and townhomes are selling a a great clip. There’s an open house out at Mosier Creek this Sunday from 3-6.

Happy Earth Day! Please join us!
