My new listings, and homes sold, with appreciation to wonderful clients!

When there’s not much new construction in Eugene, every well-maintained resale home matters more.

With only a few new builds coming to market, buyers have fewer options if they want move-in-ready or customized features. This keeps competition steady for standout homes, even as the overall market feels less hectic than the last few years. If you’re looking for a unique property, especially in neighborhoods with limited choices, timing your move becomes even more important.

Some buyers find that while the pace is calmer, the lack of new inventory makes their shortlist tight. The upside? Sellers may be open to negotiation, giving buyers more room to work out details or secure upgrades.

Thinking about whether it’s smart to buy now? How does limited new construction factor into your search or decision to wait? Tell me what you’d consider most when choosing your next move.

Higher mortgage rates in Eugene mean buyers can borrow less, so focusing on long-term comfort and affordability is key. The market is slower than the pandemic-era, giving you more time to negotiate and inspect homes without the frenzy. If you plan to stay put, stable payments and the right home matter more than waiting for rates to drop, which experts say might not happen soon. Comparing lenders and getting pre-approved can improve your buying power. Thinking of moving? Let’s talk about what matters most for your next home.

A new set of appraisal rules will officially take effect on November 2, 2026, knowing this date gives buyers and sellers a clear advantage.

If you’re planning a real estate move this fall or beyond, keep in mind that UAD 3.6 changes are right around the corner. This effective date signals a major update for appraisals, and being prepared means fewer surprises as you close your next deal. While specific details on how processes or exceptions may shift are still rolling out, it’s smart to mark this deadline now, get in front of the changes, and connect with the professionals supporting your transaction. With every appraisal tying directly to negotiations, timing, and even your financing, being proactive could save you time and unnecessary stress.

What questions do you have about how appraisal changes could affect your plans later this year or in 2027? Let’s start a conversation below.

10/27/2026

The way appraisals are handled is getting a major upgrade this fall, especially for GSE-backed loans (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac & Ginnie Mae).

Starting in November, all conventional loans sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac must use the new, much more detailed UAD 3.6 appraisal format. This means expect longer and more structured property inspections, extra photo documentation, and property details logged on-site, designed to create clear, consistent appraisals across every home. While these changes add more steps for appraisers, they’re aimed at creating a more transparent process and better protecting buyers and sellers from surprises in the mortgage review.

Portfolio loans, those a local bank holds instead of selling to Fannie or Freddie, won’t be required to use the new forms, so their process may remain simpler and more familiar. However, if you’re buying or selling an upscale custom home or downsizing for retirement in Eugene, knowing whether your loan is GSE-bound can help set expectations for your appraisal timeline and paperwork.

Does your next move involve a portfolio or GSE-backed loan? If you want to talk through the details or see how these updates might affect your sale or purchase, I’m here to help. What appraisal questions are on your mind?

Most people snap a few photos, but a room-by-room walkthrough truly unlocks better home inventory results.

Starting in a single room helps you keep the process manageable and ensures nothing gets overlooked, from the artwork on the walls to the tools tucked away in the garage or attic. Taking wide shots sets the scene, while zooming in captures those small but important details, labels, serial numbers, and the unique wear that makes your belongings identifiable if you ever need to file a claim.

Opening every cabinet and drawer may feel tedious, but these extra steps make a difference. Consistently naming and saving photos or video clips by room makes your documentation clear and quick to update. Digital folders, spreadsheets, or apps all work well, as long as your files are safely backed up, away from the house itself. And it’s smart to revisit your walkthrough after buying something significant or as part of your yearly insurance check-in, so your records always reflect what you own.

What’s the one item in your home you’d be most worried about proving you owned? Tell me below.

Smooth appraisals after November rely on up-to-date submissions, here’s why this matters.

After the new GSE rules take effect, appraisal reports for most conventional loans in Eugene must meet a much more detailed format and data standard. Submitting anything less than the new requirements can mean an immediate rejection, forcing lenders and agents to chase revisions and slowing the path to closing for both sellers and buyers. Even if the value methodology hasn’t changed, the expectation around precision and documentation has.

If you’re planning a move, it’s crucial to ensure everyone involved, especially the appraiser, knows these standards. The new process often calls for extra property details and more photos, so a compliant appraisal keeps everything on track and avoids last-minute setbacks.

If you are a buyer, make sure you talk to your lender regarding any extra time. you will need as appraisers get comfortable with this new process and appraisal form. If you are a Seller, be aware that you might need to provide additional details to an appraiser regarding the property should you accept an offer with a loan. And have your agent talk to the buyer's lender so that timelines for the transaction are doable.

A new appraisal standard, UAD 3.6, will go into effect on November 2, 2026, and it’s set to impact how property appraisals are handled.

While details on specific changes are still being confirmed, this update has agents and lenders paying close attention to the deadline. The focus is on what steps need to happen before implementation and how it could affect the appraisal process for buyers and sellers alike.

If you are planning to purchase a home in November with a loan, make sure you talk to your lender and agent regarding the potential of a longer transaction time while appraisers are navigating this new appraisal process.

10/15/2026

A detailed home inventory can make insurance claims faster and less stressful. By documenting belongings room by room, including overlooked spots like the garage or attic, and adding photos and purchase details, insurers can process claims accurately. Keeping a digital copy outside your home protects your records if disaster strikes. This inventory also helps ensure your coverage matches your needs, whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or moving in the Eugene area. How confident are you that your current records would support a claim? Share your experience or concerns.

A new era of home appraisals is about to change what buyers and sellers experience at every step.

With the move to a more structured appraisal standard, appraisers are adopting new technology and workflows. Reports for most conforming loans will now demand more detailed measurements, extra interior and exterior photos, and richer descriptions of property features. That means property visits may take a bit longer, and the final appraisal will be far more comprehensive, giving lenders and secondary market players much deeper insights to review.

For buyers and sellers, the core valuation principles remain familiar, but you may notice more questions from appraisers, increased documentation requests, and a tighter focus on property details. Lenders will also rely on these updated reports to ensure everything aligns with both federal and local regulations.

Staying up to date on these changes can help smooth your transaction, especially if you’re upsizing, downsizing, or settling a property in today’s market.
