Yes!  it can still be done.  Last Tuesday The Jackson Group put a new listing on the market in Bridlemile at 4907 SW 39th, which, by Saturday, received 5 offers and sold for over asking price!

SOLD!

There are several bits of good news in this.

• The new buyers are thrilled with their purchase – they have been waiting and watching for the right home to be for sale and now they can move out of an apartment (they already sold their prior home) and into the home that is the right fit for their family now.
• The sellers are thrilled to have the deal done so that they can move on with their relocation out-of-state without delay or separation of the family waiting for a house to sell.
• And, for those of us watching the market or selling a home, it is encouraging that there are still 4 buyers out there who are ready, willing and able to purchase a home provided the right package of features, location, condition and price are in place.

The lesson here for home sellers and brokers is that a good property, priced right and looking good, will sell in any market.  That says something about the 11,000 listings in the Portland metro area that are not sold!  Sure, sometimes there are issues about a property that make it more challenging to sell, but there is a point here that if presented well – starkling clean and professionally staged – and priced for the market - properties will sell.
