Where do you find out how much inventory a souk have contained by solid estate?

My wife and I were looking to buy our first house contained by the Portland Or. market and when we offered a low price (~$40,000.00) than what they be asking. the broker pretty much laughed at us consequently lectured us on how this bazaar Won't get hit by the saturation of homes. so is here a place I can go to that will show me what the flea market looks like?

Answers:    Real Estate agents look out for their own income, which within this case, could loose them the Dutch auction. Their job is to represent your contribute to the buyer no matter what they reflect of it.

I was offered over $100K smaller amount than my asking price. I rejected it. But, in the wrap up, I did accept an grant 75K less than asking. And, that be before the flea market really collapsed. Poor chap. I know he's still within the house and it's not worth near what he salaried for it now.

How to find out. if you own a good physical estate agent, they will set up their email account to auto forward you every relocate on the MLS. This way, you can see the open market fluctuations yourself - all the price drops - and the amount of time respectively house has be on the market. This help me know exactly what to offer my house for, and what to adopt when the market be crashing.

You can see on the Yahoo real estate subsection your market nouns, using zip code, to see the inventory. It'll let somebody know you how many homes contained by the price range you're looking for are timetabled. Instead of paging thru them. of late look at how many near are. However, this won't tell you the number of homes contained by foreclosure, which could represent 80% of the market you're contained by. To do that, you should look at Realtytrac. In Portland, right now, combined foreclosures and houses for public sale, you'll find 2,935 homes. I don't know your price range, so I can't update you how many you're competing against. I can inform you. the higher the price, the smaller number competition exists.

In Portland - 1010 homes are in pre-foreclosure status - classification they have be given notices due to delayed payments and are marching towards foreclosure. 248 are set to be auctioned. 687 homes are ridge owned. 73 homes are for sale by owner, and 917 are for mart by a realitor.

Call a upright Realtor. There are websites out there that read aloud they will show you but they are horribly inaccurate. Realtors are the simply ones who truly know the market and own access to the right tools to give you an accurate opinion of what market conditions are close to. FYI though things are NOT as bad as they clear them out to be on TV, its really sad that they are doing that. You can shift to http://www.realtor.org/ to see true statistics on this. http://www.portlandrealestate.com/real_e...
