Buyer Alert: 20% of Sellers Are Cutting Prices! Your Negotiation Window is WIDE OPEN in Portland & Vancouver!

The market has shifted! If you’ve been waiting for a clear signal to jump into the Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA real estate scene, this is it:

Nationally, 1 in 5 sellers (20%) are currently dropping their asking price.

Here in the Portland/Vancouver metro area, the percentage is often even higher in certain price tiers and suburbs, which is phenomenal news for you as a buyer.

What Does This Mean for Your Home Search?

This major shift in the market gives you two powerful advantages:

1. More Selection: Listings are spending more time on the market (some areas are averaging nearly two months!), giving you time to research and choose.

2. Negotiation Power: A price reduction signals a motivated seller who is more willing to talk shop on price, closing costs, and repairs. You have the leverage!

This is no longer a frenzied, sight-unseen bidding war market. It's a strategic, tactical market where a smart offer wins the deal.

Ready to Score a Better Deal?

The key to capitalizing on a motivated seller isn't just offering less—it's crafting a strategic, attractive offer that gets accepted. In the PDX/Vancouver market, winning strategies include:

• Targeting the "Overpriced" Listings: Homes with a recent price drop or long days on market (DOM) are prime targets for a strong, negotiated deal.

• Asking for Closing Cost Credits: Sellers are often more willing to cover some of your closing costs than they are to drop the sticker price. This keeps their value high while saving you thousands out-of-pocket!

• Leveraging Inspections: Instead of asking for minor repairs, negotiate a credit after the inspection. This keeps the deal clean and gives you the cash to handle updates post-closing.

Don't try to navigate this new landscape alone! You need a local expert who knows the current inventory, understands seller motivation, and is a skilled negotiator.
