Oh look! A cute little Portland bungalow. 🤗

Arguably the most iconic home style in PDX, these kinds of listings pop up all the time in nearly every neighborhood. But this week’s proves that not all bungalows are created equal.

Things start off usual enough, though there are a lot of charming interior details that made us keep exploring. And good thing, too! Because we may have missed the most exciting features.

Exciting feature 1: The fully finished basement complete with exterior access, full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and even laundry! This kind of space always makes our imaginations run wild with possibilities. 💫 Guest quarters? Multi-generational living? The choice is yours!

Exciting feature 2: There’s a detached Camp-Shack out back that can be purchased separately. And boy would we want to purchase it! Make all your she-shed dreams come true, host backyard campouts, or enjoy the extra hobby space. Even more possibilities! 💥

Exciting feature 3: This sweet house is located in one of the sweetest neighborhoods in SW Portland: Maplewood. 🩷 We love its peaceful, tucked-away feel, strong sense of community, and easy access to parks, trails, and, of course, the beloved .

Between prepping and launching 11 new listings, key days happening all over the area, and getting sellers successfully to the closing table, May was a blur 😅

Here’s a look back at one of our busiest months on record 👇

• 7 homes sold
• 4 buyers + 3 sellers served
• Closings everywhere from our home base in SW Portland all the way out to Sandy, OR
• 2 relocation clients we were so happy to welcome to Portland
• 1 downsizing move into a simpler next chapter

We say it all the time, but no two moves look alike (and that’s honestly one of our favorite parts of this job).

Swipe through for a look at what closed last month, and if a move is on your radar (whether you’re relocating to Portland, downsizing, upsizing, or just starting to explore), give our team a call. We’d love to hear from you!

This summer in Multnomah Village is shaping up to be one for the books with 2 new additions to our community! ☀️🏓☕

First up, we could not be more excited about , a new indoor pickleball spot coming to the village with food carts, gathering space, and lots of opportunities for some friendly competition. (Fun fact: .benner and just played in a tournament last week, so this one feels especially fun for our team! 😄)

And right nearby, is planning a new location in the old Starbucks space, adding yet another great coffee option to the already stacked neighborhood lineup.

Neither has an official opening date just yet, but both are hoping to launch sometime this summer. And you know that we’ll be some of the first in line for coffee and court time. 👏

Honestly, this is exactly why we love Multnomah Village. Local businesses, community gathering spaces, walkability, and small town vibes. 💛

Okay now we need to know: what are YOU most excited about, coffee or pickleball? 👀
