Read a recent comment sent to our team from a buyer who sought out our Local Real Estate Team for their relocation to Sherwood...
Hello Michelle-
First off, I just want to say thank you so much for sending a breath of fresh air! I was starting to get worried there for a while....to be honest I was in panic mode!!!! I was having a hard time picturing our family in anything I was seeing out there....and couldn't imagine spending the money we are about to spend. Then I got your e-mail....and for the first time in about a month I am starting to get excited about buying a home and moving!!! So thank you for that!
Now with that being said....I think I have fallen in love with one!!! Because of your awesome website....I could also tell that within less than a mile from those homes, there are homes selling for well over $300,000.
Thank you so much for everything already!!!
Bob & Amanda F.

For the past many, many months “positive” news in housing has actually meant “not-quite-as-negative-as-expected” news. However, I can honestly say that in perusing the headlines today I actually saw more good reports than negative ones regarding the housing market. This goes without mentioning that the stock market too seems to be on an extensive rally. In addition, the Treasury Department has finally released more details on a promising plan intended to deal with the toxic assets on the balance sheets of the banks.
Things appear to be gaining some positive momentum in housing.

Please take a moment to read this weeks market update brought to you by The Johnson Teams Lender Partner - Steve Nassar
Mortgage rates are better this week. A lot happened this week and for once it wasn’t all bad. Although unemployment worries continue to be in the headlines, retailers reported better than expected numbers for February. Since consumer spending represents two-thirds of all economic activity, a retail recovery is seen as a major lynchpin in an economic turnaround. Optimistic news from the financial sector as well as Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup assure investors that they are operating at a profit for the first part of 2009 and therefore will not requiring additional bailout dollars. Investors have reacted favorably to these rays of hope and stocks actually increased for 4 days in a row.

Just a note to let you know that the Portland metro area is doing much better than many may have thought. Excellent projected job growth and population growth expected to be at or near the top! That means that we will be assisting our clients by helping them get in on the "bottom" of the market with a primary home or investment purchase so they can position themselves for prosperity in the future.
