Buying a Home in Multnomah Village: From an Open House to the Perfect Place to Call Home
Sometimes the Best Client Stories Start with an Open House
You never know where your next conversation is going to lead!
I first met these wonderful buyers at one of my open houses last year, and we stayed in touch until the timing was finally right for them. When they were ready to officially begin their home search, they reached back out and I couldn't have been more excited to reconnect!
We kicked things off with a buyer consultation over some seriously delicious Thai food. My teammate, Patricia LoCascio, joined us, and the four of us spent the evening talking through everything that goes into buying a home in Portland. We covered financing, the home-buying process, and one of my favorite topics: the different eras of Portland homes.
Older homes have incredible character and craftsmanship. Newer homes often offer more modern layouts and fewer maintenance projects. Every buyer is different, so understanding what they loved (and didn't love!) helped us create a search that fit their lifestyle.
Searching for the Right Home...and the Right Neighborhood
Over the next few weeks, Patricia and I teamed up to show homes throughout Portland's eastside and several southwest neighborhoods.
Then we started looking at homes in Multnomah Village.
It didn't take long before it became obvious that we had found the neighborhood that felt like home.
That's something I always tell buyers: you're not just buying a house. You're choosing where you'll grab your morning coffee, where you'll meet friends for dinner, where you'll take evening walks, and where you'll build your life.
That's exactly why buying a home in Multnomah Village appeals to so many people.
Why Buyers Love Multnomah Village
This beautiful new one-level home checked every box.
It's just a few blocks from their family, making impromptu dinners and weekend get-togethers easy. The commute to OHSU is quick and convenient, and the heart of Multnomah Village is just a short walk away.
Honestly...I can't blame them for falling in love with this neighborhood!
One of my favorite things about Multnomah Village is how easy it is to leave the car at home. Within just a few minutes you can:
Grab coffee at one of the neighborhood cafés
Meet friends for dinner at Yalla or brunch at Marco's Café
Enjoy cocktails at Zinc Bistro
Check out the food carts at the Multnomah French Quarter
Browse Annie Bloom's Books or Thinker Toys
Play a few games at the upcoming Village Pickle indoor pickleball facility
It's one of those neighborhoods where people actually bump into their neighbors while they're out walking. There are community events throughout the year, locally owned businesses around every corner, and a welcoming small-town feel that's hard to find in a city.
That's a big reason why buying a home in Multnomah Village continues to be such a popular choice.
Buying a Home in Multnomah Village
Every buyer's journey is different.
Some people know immediately that Multnomah Village is where they want to be. Others discover it during their home search—just like these buyers did.
That's why I always encourage my clients to keep an open mind. Sometimes the perfect home isn't in the neighborhood you expected. Sometimes it's a completely different neighborhood that steals your heart.
I'm so grateful these wonderful buyers trusted Patricia and me throughout the process. From that first conversation at an open house to celebrating on Key Day, it has been such a fun journey.
Congratulations on your amazing new home! We are SO excited for everything that's ahead, and I know you're going to LOVE being part of the Multnomah Village community.
