Thinking About Selling Your Home in Spring 2027? The Time to Plan Is NOW!

In the Portland Area real estate market, February through May has traditionally been considered one of the strongest times of the year for home sellers. 🌷

But here’s something many homeowners don’t realize: The best time to prepare your home for sale is at least 3 months before you plan to hit the market.

Why start early?

Make a Great First Impression: Identify the updates, repairs, and simple staging touches that will help your home stand out.

Maximize Your Home’s Value:Focus your time and money on the improvements most likely to make a difference to potential buyers and bring the highest return on your investment.

Beat the Spring Rush:Give yourself time to prepare without the stress of last-minute decisions.

Considering a move in February, March, April, or May? Now is the perfect time to schedule a conversation and create a personalized plan for your home. The Bellairs & Gorman Home Team has years of experience, a long list of affordable contractors, and the ability to manage the updating projects making the process successful and seamless.

A little planning today can make a big difference when it’s time to sell!

WAIT… A 4.95% MORTGAGE RATE?

If you're shopping for a home and seeing mortgage rates in the 7.5% range, you might want to take a closer look at new construction.

Some builders are offering financing incentives with rate as low as 4.95%** on select homes.

That can make a BIG difference in your monthly payment.

And builder incentives may include more than just a lower rate:

✨ Rate buydowns
✨ Closing-cost assistance
✨ Upgrades
✨ Design allowances
✨ Special incentives on quick move-in homes

But here's our biggest piece of advice:

Don't go into new construction alone. Engage a Realtor with experience selling new homes across several communities!

While the Sales Professionals at the Model Home are very knowledgeable and helpful (we know and have worked with many!)
Their primary focus is to promote and sell that builder's homes.

Your buyer's agent represents you and wants you to buy the RIGHT home!

Having your own representation can help you evaluate the price, incentives, upgrades, lot premiums, financing and contract—and make sure you're making a decision that's right for your goals.
We also have experience working with several builders and understand the nuanced differences between their product and offerings.

**Builder rates and incentives vary by community, lender, loan type, qualifications and availability. 4.95% is an example of a promotional rate and is not guaranteed.

Waiting for mortgage rates to drop before buying a home?

That can make sense in some situations, but the interest rate is only one part of the equation.

In a slower market, buyers may have more opportunities to negotiate on:

• Purchase price
• Seller-paid closing costs
• Interest rate buydowns
• Repairs or credits
• Closing timeline and other terms

If rates eventually come down, refinancing may also be an option down the road. But if rates drop and more buyers jump back into the market, competition could increase too.

The better question may not be:

“Are rates perfect right now?”

It may be:

“Can I find the right home at a monthly payment I’m comfortable with?”

Every buyer’s situation is different. If you’re thinking about purchasing in the Portland or Beaverton area, the Bellairs & Gorman Home Team would be happy to help you look at the numbers and understand your options.

Your mortgage might be the most "golden" attribute of your home in today's Real Estate market.
If you’re thinking of selling, find out whether your mortgage is assumable before you list. Your interest rate may be an asset worth marketing.
Freddie Mac reported an average 30-year mortgage rate of over 7% on September 24. If you have an assumable loan with a substantially lower rate, that financing could make your home especially attractive to buyers.
Here’s how it works: An eligible buyer applies to take over your existing mortgage, including its remaining balance, rate, and repayment term. The buyer must qualify and arrange to cover the difference between the loan balance and the purchase price. FHA and VA loans are commonly assumable; USDA loans have program-specific rules.
For a seller, a below-market rate can be a powerful selling point. It may give buyers a more affordable monthly payment and help your listing stand out without immediately turning to a price reduction.
The details matter. Confirm eligibility with your loan servicer, allow time for approval, and make sure you receive a formal release from mortgage liability. If you have a VA loan, also check how an assumption would affect your future VA loan entitlement.
Seek out a Realtor who has experience in closing home sales that involved loan assumption. The Bellairs & Gorman Home Team has successfully closed several. Sellers were able to get more money for their homes and buyers able to purchase a better quality home with more built in equity than they could have with current market rate mortgages.
