We visited the last two houses at the Street of Dreams last night.  The $1.7M Forest Edge by Elite Development is clearly the dreamiest of the show.  Not a surprise as you could by the IdeaBox ($148k), The Maybeck detached condominium ($549k), and any one of the three detached houses on NW Cresap Lane for… Continue reading Street of Dreams’ Forest Edge and IdeaBox

I took a final trip up to NW Cresap Lane on Monday to wrap up my series on the 2010 edition of the Portland Street of Dreams.  What I found wasn’t catastrophic but disappointing nonetheless.  Two of the three homes are now closed sales and are occupied evidenced by cars in the driveway and confirmed… Continue reading 2010 Portland Street of Dreams Recap

Your credit score is one of the most important factors in your ability to qualify for a loan and then getting the best rates.  If you are considering applying for a mortgage you may be well served doing a little investigation of your own before having a third party pull it for you.  Is the… Continue reading Your Credit and Buying Real Estate

I drove by NW Cresap Lane, home of the 2010 Portland Street of Dreams, this afternoon so decided to take a turn up the street.  There is no new building activity on the site, just the three completed houses seen at the show.

Last year we ran a whole series of posts for the 2010 Street of Dreams on NW Cresap Lane.  This year’s show is on Bull Mountain so regular construction updates made less sense at $4 gallon.  The 2011 Portland Street of Dreams runs August 6th – 28th and is located at SW 155th Terrace.  Parking… Continue reading 2011 Portland Street of Dreams

I was driving along NW Skyline this afternoon and from there you can see a new home going in at the bottom of the cul de sac on NW Cresap Lane, the site of the 2010 Street of Dreams.  There are still numerous empty lots on the street.

I attended Realtor Day at the Street of Dreams on Tuesday.  Before we get to the houses on The Street, it should be noted that the parking at SW 144th and Bull Mountain Rd. is pretty rough terrain and very dusty.  I was glad I was driving the SUV and not the low-to-the-ground sedan.  Buses… Continue reading 2011 Portland Street of Dreams Report
