Bloomberg says, “Oregon is the picture of economic health.” Matthew Winkler, editor-in-chief emeritus of Bloomberg News, published an article February 9 talking about how the state has had the best performing economy in the nation over the last year.

In 2015 we had a large number of past clients coming back to us ready to purchase a larger home or even pick up some rental properties. It is truly a seller’s market right now with inventory so low but hopefully forecasts like this one may help motivate anyone who was on the fence to make their move while the economy is in such a good place.
