August’s numbers show us what many sellers are already feeling: the market has shifted from spring highs. On average, homes are sitting a bit longer and sellers are again making concessions in order to draw buyers in. But here’s the good news: the right property in the right location still turns heads immediately.
Case and point: our newest listing in McMinnville's Michelbook neighborhood. We listed this stunning single level home in on Friday of last week, and by Monday it was already pending with multiple offers. That kind of quick turnaround doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of smart positioning, stunning presentation, and a property that truly resonates with buyers. When those three align, the buyers in the market respond with speed and enthusiasm.
That’s why we remind sellers not to get stuck in the headlines. The real story unfolds at the neighborhood level, in your price range, and with your home’s unique appeal. For buyers, the lesson is similar: you may have more breathing room in today’s market, but when “the one” comes along, you must to be ready to act. There are still properties that regularly sell very quickly, and with multiple offers.
At The McCreith Team we do this every day, and we have been at it for the past two decades. We don’t just watch the headlines, we dig into the numbers, track the trends in your neighborhood, and build a plan to position your home for it's unique corner of the market; a plan that fits your home, your goals, and your timeline.

And this unique property offers a key lesson: even in a market full of mixed signals, there’s always a path to results when you have the right plan. We're here to help you craft and navigate that plan.
Now, I’m excited to introduce you to the property itself. It's one that perfectly showcases how preparation, strategy, and timeless appeal can still create remarkable momentum in today’s market.
