Real estate activity is ramping up in Eugene, Ore. as low inventory is producing multiple offers, and in some case bidding wars, driving prices up, especially on homes under $250,000. Carol John bought a three-bedroom home in 2010 for $283,000. As her investments soured during the recession and she wanted to downsize and economize, she sold it for $280,000 and purchased a manufactured home for $137,000 in a land lease community. “So I didn’t really lose much, but I didn’t gain anything” she says. As MHProNews has learned from registerguard, Ms. John’s transactions were completed within two weeks, as she prepares to move into her new home July 16.
