Why Fall in Portland Can Be a Smart Time to Buy

October 3, 2025

While the rest of the country might be slowing down, the fall market here still offers plenty of opportunity.

Reasons to love an autumn home search:

  • Sellers listing now are often motivated
  • Less competition means more negotiating room
  • You can see how a home handles our gray, rainy season before you commit

If you’re hoping to settle in before the holidays, now’s the time to start looking. Need help spotting the best opportunities on the market? Let’s talk!

I’ve talked clients out of buying or selling before…and I’d do it again.
Because a home should move you toward your goals, not away from them.
Before making a move, let’s look at the big picture: your priorities, the market, and what truly makes sense long-term.

This living room transformation proves that simple, intentional choices can completely redefine a space.
Painted in Simply White by Benjamin Moore, with refinished original fir floors, lighting from Globe Lighting, and Amerock hardware throughout, every detail was thoughtfully selected during the design process to create a bright, timeless feel.

If you’re planning a remodel, steal this look, these specs are as classic as they come.

When people move to Lake Oswego, they often think it’s all about the beautiful homes, top schools, and proximity to Portland.

But what makes people stay?
Morning walks by the lake.
Cafe’s where they know your name.
A downtown that still feels small-town.
Easy access to trails, parks, and water.
Neighbors who look out for each other.
Weekends that unfold without a plan.
That perfect balance of calm and convenience.
A community that feels connected, grounded, and proud to call this place home.

If you’re thinking about calling Lake Oswego home, this is what it’s really like to live here... not just visit.

There’s something about Pacific City, the quiet stretch of beach, the sunset glow, and the bald eagle that sometimes walks right along the shore near its nest. 🌅

It’s simple, beautiful, and everything I love about Oregon.
