28lb Spring Chinook - right in the city !

by Rob Levy, Prudential Northwest Properties

On Thursday I was sitting in a freinds boat in the Columbia looking at Mount Hood and catching fish, and I was thinking how very lucky we are (again) to live where we live.

I caught a nice fish that day and part of it has hit the barbeque every night since.  And I cant think of another American city where I could sit in a boat right in the city limits and catch world class fish.  See the video.

Portland offers so much close buy - world class fishing, world class skiing including America's  largest lit ski area and America's only place to ski year round.  We also are only 1.5 hours from the Oregon coast and cities such as Cannon Beach.

Its amazing to me that I can be there fishing, and also working talking on my cell phone and emailing an offer via my TREO to another agent too !

Portland Magazine says "Buy Here Now"

by Rob Levy, Prudential Northwest Properties

April 2008's Portland magazine has just come out and the front cover says "Buy Here Now".

They have written a terrific article explaining the reasons behind why our market has been doing so well consistantly since the mid 1980's ( the last time our prices dropped).

Our price never shot up too much

Our economy relies on booming Asia market

We are a strong in-migration state

We are the bargain basement of the west

The "creative clas" is moving here in droves.

The article goes on to rate different neigborhoods but the main picture they post is we are one of only three markets in the USA that went up in value in 2007 ( the other two were Seattle and Raleigh).  But the most fascinating part is how the "creative class" is moving here in droves from all over the country, not just from our most recent 600lb gorilla of California.    Click on the link above to learn more.
