Gloria Gaynor: “I Will Survive”!!!!!
I’m thinking I will start passing out t-shirts to all my clients that have bought or sold houses in 2010 or attempted loan modifications or short-sales or had to succumb to foreclosure: “I Survived Real Estate 2010″!! Welcome to the “New Normal” of real estate. “Survival Real Estate” impacts buyers, sellers, homeowners in general, Real Estate Brokers, Mortgage Brokers as well as title and escrow companies. We all have to compromise and partner for success.
Sellers face a challenging market to sell with a smaller pool of buyers looking for extremely competitively priced properties. Don’t go into “denial” on this front. If you’re not “price to sell“, you will simply be “listed” not “sold”! Buyers face a tightened mortgage market demanding higher credit scores and more compliance restrictions.
Don’t despair! there are well-priced properties and there are well-qualified purchasers. How do we “connect the dots”? Sellers have to look at recent solds and “read the writing on the wall” with the house staged to highlight its maximum potential and priced to REALLY reflect the market condtions and the property condition and location. The buyers must get a mortgage pre-approval and not make any “sudden $$$ moves” during the mortgage underwriting process.
The entire process takes a new level of self-reflection, honesty, commitment, focus, patience and a little faith.

If I am planning on moving to the portland area do you recommend finding a place through a realtor or searching online with sites like trulia.com and http://homes.trovit.com ?
Zoe: I actually suggest both!! Your relationship with a Realtor should become a partnership. I always set up a search through my http://www.fabulousportland.com home search site for each and every buyer (and, they receive daily e-mails with new properties that come on market). But, I also completely respect any property suggestions that might result from my buyers searching independently online or driving through favorite neighborhoods! We work together for success!
