Kristy,
West side neighborhoods such as West Slope, Raleighwood, Arranmore, and Royal Woodland (as well as a handful in NW Portland) have Portland addresses but are located in Washington County, where taxes can be as much as 1/3 that of Multnomah County.
Further west and you'll be in Beaverton, south you'll be in Tigard. Clackamas County also has much lower property taxes than Multnomah. - Thu Aug 28 2008, 10:08
If RE/Max doesn't have a direct feed to Trulia (I can't remember), then have your agent go to Postlets.com or Vflyer.com and re-create the listing there. The results feed into Trulia within a day or so. - Wed Aug 13 2008, 22:37
Kay,
A quick search in Sexton Mountain and surrounding neighborhoods (Sorrento, Hart, Hyland, etc.) under $215,000 yielded two detached homes and 73 condo/attached homes. A little further west in Aloha (not your first choice, perhaps), there are nearly 20 detached homes, so perhaps you can check that out.
Your agent should be open to digging a little for the motivation of some of the sellers of the homes you're interested in, but as you might have heard, sellers aren't budging much...unless they're forced to by their circumstances. - Tue Aug 5 2008, 18:08
