Want to be in a new home before the holidays?
Good news: you have not missed your chance.
But September is when the timeline starts to matter.
Because “we want to move before the holidays” can turn into “maybe next year” surprisingly fast once you factor in getting pre-approved, finding the right home, negotiating an offer, completing your due diligence and actually getting the keys.
So… when do you need to do what?
➡️ Swipe through for a realistic week-by-week timeline to buying a home in the Portland Metro before the end of the year.
And remember, your timeline may look completely different depending on what you are buying and how quickly you need to move.
Want us to map out what yours could look like? Send us a message and we can work backwards from your ideal move-in date.
