BaJohns99,
As Johnny Logic mentioned, the really nice homes are priced accordingly. One tidbit I would like to throw out there: In any market, buyer's or seller's, the best homes that are considered a bargain sell quickly, usually within a few days of being on the market. Your best bet would be to contact an agent who specializes in the eastside who is familier with it's ever changing inventory. This way as soon as one of theses "deals" pops up, you'll be ready to act on it and get into the neighborhood you want to be in. I focus my business on Inner NE and I've seen some great deals at different price points sell in a matter of days because they were priced to move. Give me a call @ 503-880-0580 and I would be happy to keep you posted if I find something that meets your criteria.
Happy Hunting,
