• The home truth in Keizer in 2011

    Home prices have continued to decline in Keizer, just like Salem.  The question is whether or not I was accurate in my predictions from last year.  I have an ego to maintain, you know.  Last year I predicted a 5% decline in home prices and a flat li...

  • The temporary lull in the storm

    August saw a bit of a jump up in home prices from last August.  I certainly wouldn't say that home prices are appreciating in Keizer but last year was the end of the tax credit and July and August were dismal months in real estate.  Home prices rea...

  • Keizer real estate report 2Q 2011

    While that lowly 79 homes sold in the 2nd quarter in Keizer Oregon might look a bit lame compared to last year, last year was an off year because of the tax credit.  Overall, better than 2009 so that's good.   Keizer currently has an 8.65 m...

  • Ugly Numbers

  • Ditto what I said before

    Well I shared my simply smashing words of wisdom regarding the Salem real estate market with you all, so it's time to talk Keizer. Keizer stunk too. My writing talent astonishes me sometimes.  Seriously, how do I come up with such in-depth analyses...

  • Just hanging out in purgatory

    Keizer home price trends Well true to form, what goes up must come down.    Thankfully for Keizerites, the correction seems to have come and gone for the most part.  Keizer Oregon real estate has been pretty much flat-lined for a year.  The second...

  • Flatline in Keizer?

    Of all the local mini-real estate markets in the Salem Oregon area, I've long talked about how Keizer was not as hard hit or as bad as some of the others, including Salem.  This continues to be true and in fact Keizer saw a small pop in median home pr...
