Young Couples Increasingly Attracted to Downtown Portland Real Estate

Portland, Oregon – Portland Oregon real estate agent David Somerville says young families are being drawn to Downtown Portland's condos and lofts by low prices, good neighborhoods, and close proximity to jobs.

Somerville, who has been selling Portland real estate for over ten years, says the trend of younger buyers coming into the downtown is welcomed by Portland employers and property owners alike, and has helped to revitalize downtown neighborhoods.

"The current housing market is providing some great opportunities for younger buyers to get into Portland condos and lofts at pretty amazing prices."

He says there are certain neighborhoods, like the Pearl District, that are particularly sought after by younger home buyers.

"The Pearl District has a lot of things going for it as a place to live downtown. There are plenty of restaurants, nearby employers, parks, grocery stores, and other shopping, all within walking or biking distance. Walkscore.com rates the area near 100."

While Somerville encourages first time home buyers to get preapproved for a loan before setting out to visit properties, they can search for available Portland homes for free on www.maxwellsinclair.com.
