Lake Oswego Deals and Steals on the rise

 45% swing.. 

There are deals in all price ranges and the conversation about short sales and bank owned properties is not going away anytime soon.  Statistically speaking we are looking at another 18 months.  Yes prices have settled and in some areas are starting to inch back up which is good not just for the real estate market but our entire economy.  You may know of someone who feels like they are drowning in an upside down scenario that they see no light.  There may be options.

More and more short sales are closing.  Most banks will negotiate with the property owner.  Knowing what the bank wants is the first place to start.  And if it a primary residence the tax laws are in your favor for a few more months.  Vital reading for home owners considerng a short sale and want to understand the forgiveness act.**
