February 2026 Lucido Global Newsletter
✅ February 2026 Lucido Global Newsletter 
The February 2026 Lucido Global Newsletter highlights key real estate insights for buyers, sellers, and homeowners across Vancouver WA and the Portland Metro area.
Affordability is improving for the first time in several years as mortgage rates trend downward and housing inventory increases, giving buyers more options and stronger purchasing power. Local market data shows continued activity with steady home values, rising listings, and more homes projected to sell throughout 2026.
The newsletter also features a Vancouver WA condo listing, upcoming community events, and education opportunities including home buying classes and on-demand resources for first-time buyers and real estate careers.
A major focus is right-sizing vs. downsizing in the Pacific Northwest, helping homeowners simplify life, reduce maintenance, and use equity strategically for retirement, accessibility, and financial freedom. Practical home maintenance tips and client success stories reinforce Lucido Global’s mission to guide clients through every stage of homeownership.
Ken & Susan Rosengren continue to serve Southwest Washington and Portland Oregon with nearly two decades of experience, providing personalized strategies for buying, selling, investing, and life transitions.
