The real estate closing process is always tricky, whether you're a first-time seller or have done it a million times. Fortunately, accepting a cash offer simplifies the selling process because fewer parties are involved, there is less paperwork, the schedule can be accelerated, and the chance of the deal falling through is minimized.
Local market trends might help you decide whether it's best to act immediately or wait for the right moment to sell or buy. After all, making informed decisions might greatly influence how much money or savings you get.
With Ash Creek Properties, you can receive a cash offer within 24 hours, with no risk of the buyer’s mortgage falling through.
What is the cost of selling a house in Oregon? The amount of money you keep after selling your residence is determined by various factors, including which repairs and upgrades you do to prepare your house for sale, if you make any concessions or give incentives to buyers, state and local taxes, and closing expenses, and your outstanding mortgage balance.
Since 2020, buyers have been pounded by low inventory, fierce competition, and significant price increases, but quickly rising mortgage rates are making it much more difficult to find an affordable house. Homebuyers are left wondering when the market will experience some respite, and home prices will begin to decline.
This single-family residential house built in 1951 was a fun and quick project. Our upgrades and repair helped transform the home from a 1950’s traditional look to a more modern 2021 look. We have been really impressed by the friendly neighbors in this area and cannot wait to help add some additional wonderful neighbors to SE Madison St.
Our homes are the center of our lives —where we feel safe and where we get to relax and enjoy ourselves with our loved ones. But did you know that almost 77 percent of civilian fire deaths and nearly three-quarters (73%) of all reported injuries are caused by home fires?
Knowing a few fire safety hazards can help families prevent and effectively respond to the top hazards at home. In this blog, we share some top fire hazards in today's homes, as well as tips and fire safety facts to keep your family and property out of harm's way.
This project was a unique and interesting one. When we found this home listed on the RMLS, we offered cash, did a very quick close, and offered to have a large earnest money deposit released as soon as the sewer was scoped. This offer appealed to the seller over another offer.
We are super excited that the home sold nearly right away, and the family that purchased it will enjoy an absolutely beautiful North Portland home.
There is a hidden cost to clutter: it can lead you to feel heavy, disorganized, and burdened. Whether you are moving to a new home or simply downsizing, getting rid of household items you no longer need provides you not only the satisfaction of decluttering but also the mood boost for being able to give your (gently used) items to charities.
Many charity organizations in Portland offer donation pick-ups right at your doorstep. They will take furniture, clothes, household goods, and others, so you won't have to do the heavy lifting! Here's a list of PDX organizations that will pick up donations.
Downsizing may appear overwhelming at first as you plan to reduce the amount of things you’ve acquired- including potentially a whole room’s worth of stuff. However, if managed strategically, it can be a fabulous way to inventory your life and retain only stuff you love.
If you are preparing to downsize your house, here are some helpful steps to guide you in making the right choices.
I wish we had some funny stories about this one, but in truth, this one was all about lack of stress and good luck. We were pretty weary from constant renovation projects and felt we weren’t ready for another flip, but all of that changed when we saw this property listed on RMLS. Almost everything swung our way on this one, very few surprises and a lot of things came in under the original budget.
It was a gem that had not seen a single upgrade —we had to do a full-scale rehab!
If you are in the process of selling your home and find traces of asbestos, you might be wary if it would curb your home sale. But finding asbestos is not always a deal-breaker, and it is still perfectly legal to sell. If your property is confirmed to have asbestos that needs to be removed, but you are not interested in bearing the costs, you might want to consider selling your property as is. This is highly recommended if your home needs an extensive asbestos removal that you are unwilling to take on.
