Research
Ed knows the neighborhoods in Portland. With a background
as a real estate appraiser, he has extensive knowledge of the Portland
Metropolitan Area. From his research on your house, Ed will know the
distinctive features of your neighborhood - including the schools,
shopping areas, dining and transportation.
Through the use of a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and his real
estate appraisal experience, Ed will show you what real estate
activity has taken place in your neighborhood, including:
 |
Properties currently listed for sale |
|
Properties that have sold in the last six months |
|
Listings that have expired - and why |
When you review listings, properties that have sold, and those that
have expired, you will develop a better sense for the activity, trending
and appreciation that are taking place in your neighborhood. Factors
that affect the sales price would be location, style, size, floor
plan, number of bedrooms and the amount and degree of updating that
has taken place. Unfortunately, Ed can not create value, but he will
help you understand the realities of the marketplace.
