On This Episode:
After an extremely busy year of real estate in 2020, what can we expect to happen in 2021? Of course no one can predict the future, but experts have made some projections for the year ahead.
On this episode of the podcast, we’re going to dive into a report by Inman.com about the realities of real estate this year. They are a website that provides a national perspective on real estate so we wanted to take their predictions for 2021 and see if they apply to Oregon and the west coast.
As you’ll hear on the show, Colleen continues to remain optimistic about the market ahead and we’ll get her thoughts on appraisals, inventory, leasebacks, investors, and pricing during this episode.
