"What can I actually afford in Portland?"

It's a fair question, and the answer really does depend on the neighborhood. Here's a rough picture of what I'm seeing right now:

Under $400K — Outer SE, Lents, Centennial. Solid homes in real neighborhoods with room to make them your own.

$400K–$550K — NE Portland, St. Johns, Montavilla. Charming bungalows, walkable blocks, the Portland feel a lot of people are looking for.

$550K–$700K — Hawthorne, Division, close-in SE. More move-in ready, closer to everything.

$700K+ — West Hills, larger homes, better views, more space.

Every budget has a good Portland story. It's mostly about knowing which neighborhoods fit what you're looking for.

If you want a more personalized breakdown, I'm happy to talk it through — just

Fun Fact: This is the Simon Benson House, a stunning Queen Anne Victorian built in 1900. After being relocated and restored, it found a new home on the PSU campus, where it now hosts alumni and university events.

Summer in Portland looks like…

✅ Farmers markets on Saturday mornings where you actually run into your neighbors.

✅ Roses everywhere — peak bloom usually hits in June and it never gets old.

✅ Long evenings that make you want to sit on the porch a little longer.

✅ Food cart pods full of people who all had the same idea.

✅ That feeling of being somewhere that has its own thing going on — and being glad you're part of it.

If you've been thinking about making Portland home, summer is a good time to visit and see it for yourself.

Here are a few reasons people tell me they're choosing Portland over Seattle:

🏡 More house for the money. While prices have increased here too, buyers can often find more space and more options at a lower price point.

🌳 Neighborhoods with distinct personalities. Alberta, Sellwood, St. Johns, Multnomah Village, Montavilla — each one has its own vibe.

🏔️ Easy access to the outdoors. A day at the coast, a hike in the Gorge, or skiing on Mt. Hood can all be part of a normal weekend.

🍴 An incredible food scene. Food carts, date-night spots, hidden neighborhood favorites — Portland delivers!

🚲 A lifestyle people fall in love with. Walkable neighborhoods, local businesses, parks, farmers markets, and a strong sense of community keep people here long after the move.

No city is perfect. But for a lot of the people I work with, Portland hits a sweet spot between affordability, lifestyle, and access to everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Portland has a lot of hidden gems. 💎

Some are restaurants. Some are neighborhoods. Some are tucked inside old buildings.

And some are 60-foot-tall murals you've walked past a hundred times without really seeing.

This is Capax Infiniti by Faith47 on the side of the Carlyle Building downtown. It's been there for more than a decade, and every time I pass it, I find myself stopping for a second look.

One of the reasons I love living here is that Portland rewards curiosity. If you take the scenic route, look up once in a while, or wander a few blocks off your usual path, you'll find something interesting.

"Is it a good time to buy?" Here's the honest answer — it's more nuanced than a yes or no.

Portland homes are selling in about 19 days on average right now. Prices are up 5.1% from last year. But there's more to it than data.

The right time to buy depends on your goals, your finances, and your life — not just the market. Let's talk about what it means for YOU. 👇

Home Buying Basics 🏡 | Pre-Approval Explained

Pre-approval isn’t just a box to check—it’s your foundation.

It tells you what you can afford, strengthens your offer, and helps avoid surprises later. It also gives you confidence to move quickly when the right house shows up.

If you’re not sure where to start or want a lender intro you can trust, I’ve got you.

(And yes—Daisy approves of strong, prepared buyers 🐾)

✨ Mortgage rates dipped again this week! ✨
If you’ve been on the fence about buying, here are a few things I’m watching:

📉 Jobless claims are rising
📈 Inflation hit 2.9% in August (fastest since January)
💵 Median household income reached $83,730 in 2024 (affordability matters!)
🏡 Renters aren’t catching a break—rents are up 2.6% this year, the biggest jump since 2022

💡 Current national averages (via MND):
• 30-Year Fixed: 6.27%
• 15-Year Fixed: 5.70%
• 7/6 ARM: 5.63%

👉 If you’re deciding whether to keep renting or buy, this could be the right time to run the numbers. I’m happy to connect you with a trusted lender so you can see what makes sense for you!

✨ I saw some fantastically weird homes today – and I loved every second of it! 🏡🤩 One of the reasons I became a Realtor is because I’m endlessly curious about how people live. What’s the flow? The vibe? How does a house support their daily lives (or make them say what were they thinking?) 😂 Every home tells a story, and I’m here for it!
