I just got back from the PREA convention in San Diego, California where I attended my 10th annual convention, every year since our company became a Prudential franchise.
 
This year was particuarly interesting as it was in San Diego, right in the middle of a real estate market which is dropping in price, vs Portland Oregon where our prices are appreciating and have every year since 1986.  Of course, our market hasnt had the up and down gyrations of the SoCal market, but we are now seeing a lot of our market fed by both people "cashing in the chips" in California and moving to Portland, and  also  investors looking here for a good and steady 5-8% expected appreciation - per a recent article in the Oregonian.
 
If you are thinking of moving here from California ( or anywhere else), contact us today at www.RobLevy.com and we can show you how your home can be both a great investment, and also a great place to live. I should know, after all I moved here from Los Angeles in 1984 to raise my family and have never looked back.
