More than just a little patience

You would be hard pressed to find two people kinder, or more easy going than Zach and Beth.
Patience is a beautiful thing. And, these two have shown they have buckets full of it.  Zach and Beth postponed their wedding due to COVID, and the global pandemic.  Choosing to wait it out, so they could celebrate with their family and friends. They switched gears and began a home hunt instead. They thought it would be something fun to take their minds off waiting for their wedding day.  What ensued was a nine month home search that they endured with truly commendable grace.

It was a particularly tough market during this time.  Historically low inventory, coupled with low interest rates, and of course, a pandemic, made for a very competitive market.

Unlike so many current Portland home buyers, it wasn’t so much that Beth and Zach were not getting offers accepted–they were very strong buyers- it was the fact that homes that appear great on the surface, can be full of unpleasant surprises.
Twice while in contract, they wound up saying, “no thank you” to houses they had hoped were their dream home, as the structural work the homes needed felt unbalanced, compared to their value.

Zach and Beth’s well of patience served them well, for just after that nine month mark they fell in love with a classic SE Portland home, complete with tall ceiling for their tall family.  Needless to say, there was much rejoicing when their offer was accepted, and even more when they received their keys.

The only thing that makes these beautiful spring days better is these beautiful happy endings!
Congratulations Zach and Beth! May your new home bring you oodles of joy!
