This mild cooling isn’t a sign of a crash—it’s more of a market recalibration as affordability, inflation, and inventory catch up to the highs of the last several years.While Portland's price growth is modest, the city remains attractive to long-term investors and homebuyers who prioritize lifestyle, walkability, and access to outdoor recreation. 

It’s a rural area more for , hiking , water sports , outdoor activities .The house is listed currently for 450k and has been sitting for 64 days another red flag to me  .

@Evan Polaski I will offer a $1,000 bounty for the first attorney that can substantiate losses like you have described!!

I’m seeing more developers (especially in the Midwest and Southeast) designing small STR communities with:No HOAs or restrictionsBuilt-in smart tech and cleaning closetsFurnished units from Day 1STR zoning baked inCluster layouts with shared amenities like fire pits, outdoor kitchens, or plunge poolsIt’s like “Airbnb meets horizontal multifamily.”And the numbers make sense — especially when land is cheap, and you're designing around the STR model instead of retrofitting an old house. 

Amenities, location/proximity, unique decor, great outdoor space, etc.

Having an open conversation about any possible contributing factors, including outdoor exposure, could help resolve the situation. 

Feelings are not FACTS because you verbalize those feelings Kelly: https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/countries-issued-trav...So the FACTS in the issued Travel ADVISORIES (not warnings) for traveling to USA are (a) follow the dang law, and (b) reality is your born with either indoor or outdoor plumbing, so STOP playing fantasy games demanding people pretend your something other than exactly what you are and put either male or Female on the dang paper, the gender you were born with.     

They can see easily that it's a 3/2 and your front porch isn't a great selling feature compared to the spacious backyard with outdoor living space so I'd lean into these amenities.

Upgraded master bathroom, interior painting, outdoor landscaping What was the outcome?
