Closed - July 3, 2013 - $298,500

My clients just closed on this adorable home in Kenton, North Portland and they couldn't be more thrilled. It's fabulous newer construction with all the bells and whistles that modern homes bring BUT it also has charm, bright natural light and a solid structure. It's just 10 blocks from "downtown" Kenton and 5 blocks from the brand new Green Zebra now under construction. Interested in this neighborhood? I'm getting to know it quite well. Give me a shout via phone, 503.449.1630 or email, ablumklotz@realtytrust.com and  I'll show you what's on the market.

So Much Real Estate, So Little Time!

It's been a busy summer for real estate. Many of you have asked if the market is improving because there have been so many "For Sale" signs in your neighborhoods. According to the RMLS Market Action Newsletter times are changing. As of June 2012 there were 21.7% more accepted offers on homes than one year ago and 14.6% more closed sales than last year - the highest number of closed sales since May 2007! The median sales price is up by 8.6% from 2011. As of today, there are 8,977 active listings on the market which represents a 3.9 month inventory. I'll have more useful information for you in the next installment of my newsletter which will be sent out later this summer. In the meantime, I've been busy moving property! Take a look at the great homes my clients have bought and sold in 2012

Sold & Listed

The winter holidays may be fast approaching, but the real estate market is actually pretty busy right now. I've just helped clients purchase two wonderful properties in inner NE Portland and I have a great listing on NE 33rd right between Alberta Arts and Beaumont/Wilshire. If you're thinking about real estate you may be interested to know that the S&P/Case-Schiller index reports that Portland, OR is one of three real estate markets that saw an increase in home values in the month of September. That's great news for our city and even better news for those of you who are thinking about purchasing a new home or investment property. This may be the best time yet to take the plunge.
