Time to Start Moving In!
Final Walk-Through Inspection
Perform a final walk-through the day before or day of closing to confirm contingencies are met and the property is vacated.
Closing
At closing you’ll sign settlement documents, finalize loan paperwork, and deposit remaining funds to escrow—either by certified check or electronic wire. After recording at the County Recorder’s office, the deed transfers and you take ownership.

Tips For Buying The Perfect Home
Don’t Max Out Your Budget
Approval at a maximum loan amount doesn’t mean you should spend it all. Reserve funds for closing costs, taxes, maintenance, and unexpected repairs.
Get to Know the Area
Visit neighborhoods to assess commute times, schools, and nearby amenities. Local market knowledge helps protect resale value.
Don’t Skip the Home Inspection
Inspections reveal issues not visible on walkthroughs, letting you negotiate wisely and budget for repairs.
Get Pre-Approved
A pre-approval signals to sellers you’re serious and ready to move quickly.

Resources For Portland Home Buyers
The journey to homeownership starts by understanding how much you can afford. One major thing to consider is your down payment, if any. Many consumers believe it's impossible to buy a home without at least 20 percent down. But thanks to various government-sponsored programs, many people can now buy a house with as little as 3.5 percent toward a down payment. Veterans of the U.S. military have zero-down programs available.
