This one is extra special.
There's a saying that you shouldn't fall in love with the first house you see. Well...my buyers did.
As first-time home buyers, they walked in and immediately knew this was the one. The challenge? The numbers just didn't make financial sense.
So we waited. We kept looking...
Then the sellers reduced the price.
Suddenly, there was an opportunity.
I told my buyers, "The worst they can say is no."
We submitted an offer. They countered. We countered back.
And we won.
Today they're under contract on their very first home for well below the original list price.
This is exactly why I keep telling buyers not to sit on the sidelines because of interest rates alone.
Right now in the Portland market, many sellers are negotiating on price, offering concessions, and creating opportunities I haven't seen in years. Interest rates can change over time, and many buyers choose to refinance if rates improve. The purchase price you negotiate today, however, can have a lasting impact on your investment.
No one can predict exactly what the market will do next, but opportunities like this don't come around in every market.
If you've been waiting for "the right time," let's talk. You might be surprised by what's possible.
Congratulations to my amazing buyers! Now let's get you to the closing table.
