No one disputes that Portland metro’s residential real estate market is sizzling hot. There are so few homes for sale and such high demand to buy before mortgage interest rates rise that bidding wars break out for the most desirable properties.
But, seriously. A recently remodeled midcentury modern in the West Hills sold for 30% over the listing price, that is $605,000 more than the owner expected. A 1912 Laurelhurst bungalow traded hands for 51.4% or $486,000 more than the asking price, all in two weeks.
In the Portland area, multiple offers on homes will most likely continue, say experts, as long as buyers are motivated by the extra buying power they get from locking into historically low, 30-year mortgage interest rates that are around 2.87%.
“If your home is in good shape and clutter free with a maintained yard, you will likely get multiple offers and over list price,” said Lynda O’Neill, a broker with Exceptional Homes by John L. Scott Lake Oswego. “With that being said, it is important to price a home for the market so it sells quickly.”
Here are 10 homes that sold for the most over their asking price in the Portland metro area so far this year, according to a special report the Oregonian/OregonLive requested from real estate marketplace Zillow:
