Portland Real Estate Agent- Why Potential Homebuyers Should Join Us On July 14 by Paul Campbell

What is going on in the Portland market? If you said that it was hot, you would think the same as lot of other people in the area. But, I am afraid to say that that is not necessarily the case. Although the lower price points remain competitive, that is not the trend for all. To find out more about this, watch my short video.

Inventory is extremely low in Portland, which means that bidding wars are fairly common. Many of our clients have told us that they don’t want to get into a bidding war.

Home remodeling makes up a $325 billion market. Many home sellers are realizing that if they make a few fixes before listing, their sale price will be much higher.

If you have a student loan or are a cosigner on one, listen up. Fannie Mae just introduced three new rule changes that will affect those with student debt. The first change has to do with income-based repayment plans, which is the top reason for not being approved by a mortgage if you have a high debt-to-income ratio. With the new rule change, your ratio will be determined by your monthly payment, not the conservative 1% of the total loan that they were using. To learn more about all of these changes in more detail, watch this short video.
