Most Portland sellers I talk to think commissions are the biggest surprise at closing.

They're not.

It's the transfer taxes, prorated property taxes, attorney fees, and pre-listing repairs on older homes in neighborhoods like Deering Center, Rosemont, and Back Cove that quietly add up to thousands.

On a $525,000 sale in the 04103 zip code, those "small" line items can seriously impact your bottom line.

The sellers who run these numbers before they list are the ones who maximize what they walk away with. That's exactly what we do during every seller strategy session with The David Marshall Team.

Everyone says "wait until spring" to list your home. But in Portland 04103, the numbers tell a very different story.

There's only about one month of inventory on the market right now. Active listings are down over 26% year over year. Homes are going under contract in a median of just 12 days.

That means sellers who list right now are walking into a market with almost no competition, and buyers are still showing up ready to make strong offers.

The best time to sell in this zip code isn't about the calendar. It's about supply and demand, and right now the ratio is one of the tightest we've seen.

If you're selling in Portland 04103, here's something most agents won't tell you: your zip code is not one market.

Back Cove buyers want walkability and trail access.
North Deering buyers want space and privacy.
Woodfords buyers want that walkable commercial hub.
Riverton buyers are looking for value with upside.

Right now, supply in 04103 is at just 1.05 months and homes are going under contract in a median of 12 days. But that speed only happens when your pricing and marketing are dialed into the specific neighborhood where your home sits.

Generic listing descriptions don't cut it here.

If you're thinking about selling in Portland's 04103 zip code, there's one critical mistake I see homeowners make before they even hit the market.

It's not about renovations. It's not about timing. And most sellers don't realize they're doing it.

If you own a home in Portland's 04103 zip code, the neighborhood you're in changes your home's value more than most people think.

A house near Back Cove Trail or Payson Park trades differently than a comparable property in North Deering or Riverton, even though they share the same zip code. Online tools can't account for that, and they definitely can't see your interior condition or deferred maintenance.

Right now inventory in 04103 is sitting at just over one month of supply. Median sale price is $525,000. Homes are going under contract in 12 days. The market favors sellers, but only if you price it accurately from day one.

The only way to get an honest number is a comparative market analysis from someone who actually sells in your part of Portland.

Selling in Portland 04103? Here's something most sellers overlook.

This zip code covers Back Cove, Deering Center, North Deering, Rosemont, Oakdale, Woodfords, Riverton, and more. Each one attracts a different buyer, and each one has its own pricing dynamics.

The sellers who get the best results aren't pricing off city-wide averages. They're pricing based on their specific neighborhood, their specific street, and what buyers in that micro-market actually want.

Right now, supply in 04103 is hovering around one month and homes are going under contract in about 12 days. But only if the strategy is dialed in.

5 bedrooms. Nearly an acre. Newer roof and septic, generator, hot tub hookup and L.L. Bean right down the road.
A move-in-ready colonial with hardwood floors throughout, a granite kitchen, a first-floor bedroom and four more bedrooms upstairs.
This is the kind of home that makes you stop looking.
