What You Get For The Money
To help you understand what your money can buy in three different markets, we’ve looked at homes currently for sale in Scappoose. Portland and Beaverton around the $400,000 range. We use a range because Scappoose is a much smaller city than, let’s say, Beaverton, and so there are fewer houses for sale in Scappoose. This is part of the reason that move-in ready homes in Scappoose sell quickly – there just aren’t as many to choose from; supply is lower than in the Portland suburbs. This does create tough competition for certain homes in Scappoose. When a really nice home comes on the market, it doesn’t last long.
