Preparation Time

The weather in Portland has been unusually snowy this past week, and most people have not had real estate on their minds. The market slows way down over the holidays, but don't let that keep you from planning out your next move. Now is the perfect time to seriously discuss with your family and friends any moves or changes you want to make in the coming year. A large part of buying or selling a home is being mentally and emotionally ready for change, so start preparing yourself now. There is a large increase in homes going on the market in January and February, is that going to be the right time for you to buy? What will the competition be if you need to sell your home? Education about the market is key for both sellers and buyers, don't let the snow stop you from learning about what's going on with real estate in your neighborhood!
