OPTIONAL PAYMENT ESTIMATE

Build your scenario

Use the payment you would be comfortable making, not the most a lender might approve.

Starting assumptions: 6.71% interest, 1.10% annual property tax, $150/month insurance, and $0 HOA. These are illustrative and can be adjusted below.

Adjust assumptions

This is an educational estimate, not a loan quote, pre-approval, appraisal, or promise of qualification.

WHY THE PLAN MATTERS NOW

Portland buyers have more room to think, but less room to guess.

August 2026 ended with 3.8 months of Portland Metro inventory and a $540,000 median sale price. That is a more negotiable environment than the frantic market many buyers remember. Rates and monthly costs still make the wrong price, property, or offer expensive.

Don Courtney III

WHY DON

I look at the home and the decision behind it.

I grew up with real-estate parents, earned my MBA at Portland State, own residential and commercial rentals, and now lead Realty ONE Group Prestige. I have spent more than a decade helping Portland-area buyers, sellers, and investors evaluate property.

A buyer does not need more automated listings. You need an advisor who can pressure-test value, condition, location, resale, financing, and the terms that make an offer smart for you.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you rely on the numbers

Is this a mortgage pre-approval?

No. It is an educational planning estimate. A lender must review your income, assets, debts, credit, program eligibility, and the specific property before you can rely on loan terms or qualification.

Why does the estimate include more than principal and interest?

Your housing payment may also include property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and mortgage insurance. Leaving those out can create a misleading purchase range.

Do I have to be ready to buy now?

No. The plan is useful whether you are touring now or still six to twelve months away. Your timeline only changes the next steps.

Will I be added to a text campaign?

Only if you provide a phone number and affirmatively check the SMS box. You can opt out later by replying STOP or by telling us through another reasonable method.

Which areas does this campaign focus on?

The paid Buyer Plan campaign focuses on Lake Oswego, West Linn, Tigard, and Wilsonville. Don can still help with other Portland-area searches; choose “Another Portland-area location” on the form.
