My heart belongs to Yamhill County …….. I was born here, live here, eventually married my high school sweetheart, raised 4 wonderful children here, and am in the process of building a home here. I have been a REALTOR® for 20 plus years now and sell from Yamhill County throughout the Portland Metro area and Willamette Valley. Over my time in Real Estate, I have watched the richness of the Yamhill Valley grow. Truth be told it is mind boggling in some ways because we are growing so fast! But our communities are strong and are developing plans to accommodate this growth. Through this growth we must remember we are still a diverse agricultural community which I love! Yamhill County is rated 6th out of 36 Oregon Counties in producing fruit trees, nuts, wine grapes, berries, hay, silage, field and grass seeds as major agricultural products. This is something to be proud of and recognize as the stability in our economies. Basically we are still hard working farmers here! Our growth in the last few years has been fast but controlled for good reason. We embrace our growth by appreciating the richness that people and change brings to this region. New ideas, new ways of looking at things, new knowledge, new income, new and fabulous restaurants, businesses, events, and more. For those looking to live in this area, our inventory levels are low with less than 1 month of inventory at the end of July 2021 per our Market Action through RMLS. Buyers and Sellers….. a good REALTOR® is worth their weight in gold in navigating this unique market! BUYERS: you know that sellers are in a bargaining position……. be prepared by 1) responding quickly when properties come to market 2) saving cash reserves to give you negotiating power and be prequalified, 3) be prepared to compete against other offers, 4) analyzing if you are willing to pay above asking and/or offer to soften an appraisal gap? 5) how much can you take on in needed repairs 6) Keep an open mind to searching for a home in outlying areas SELLERS: you are in a unique position to maximize your sale….. be prepared for 1) lots of interest depending on your price point 2) navigating multiple offers maybe but not always. Your REALTOR® will help you through this, 3) your property taking more than 4 days to go into contract, 4) appreciating that these are people who need homes and are putting it all out there, 5) discussing your own move plan with your REALTOR® in advance…. things may happen fast! Most of all remember Buying and Selling is a process in any market. Relax, we will get you there!
