On the Road: Oregon

We made a trek up to Oregon last week and connected with experienced real estate pros who gave us the inside scoop! A hassle-free life, less congestion, and yes, lower home prices make Oregon a popular 2nd choice for Californians considering a change of pace.

Did you know 57% of current Oregon residents moved here from other states, most often from Washington and California. According to a recent study by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis, almost 1 in 5 Oregon residents was born in California – 18% of the population, compared to 43% who were born locally.

Eugene and Bend are among the best places in Oregon for families, with high-quality parks and schools, safe neighborhoods, and great access to recreation.

Portland is an obvious choice if you’re looking for city life. But unlike most cities, Portland runs at a slower pace and takes pride in its willingness to ignore what’s trendy elsewhere to carve out its own niche.

If you, your family, or friends are thinking of escaping the high cost of living and commotion in California, we have a team of real estate agents in every corner of Oregon ready to help you.
