3100 sqft: $320K. Ouch.
Hey Stuart, I’m guessing that particular home, built in the 70′s, probably needed some updates. If you factor in about $100K in updates, then you’re looking at a more “reasonable” $137/sqft. Buyers are really smart, at least from what I’m able to observe in West Linn. They are looking for value, and will pay what the house is worth. Even the sellers realized their home needed updates and priced their home accordingly.

“For the past year, the Fed has been buying mortgage-backed securities in an effort to keep mortgage rates low and provide some support to the housing market. On March 31, the Fed says, it will stop buying mortgage-backed securities.
So what will happen to mortgage rates and house prices?”……
