Mid Willamette Valley market in 60 seconds 🏡 October's numbers for Linn and Benton counties are in: the median sold price was $441,144, at $284 a square foot — and nearly two-thirds of listings, 64%, were priced below $500,000. So there's still a lot of value under $500,000 in the mid-Valley, but you still need to know which homes are actually worth it. With thirty years in construction, I know houses — I'll tell you what's worth fixing, and what you should expect to pay. Thinking about buying or selling? Send me a real property and I'll run the numbers. 👉 https://www.unitedrealestateproperties.com/agents/1921167/Michael+Howe

A family can spend an entire weekend touring senior living communities and still come home feeling no closer to a decision.

The brochures look similar. Everyone seems friendly. Every community has something wonderful to offer.

So how do you actually compare them?

Start asking questions about the care your loved one needs today, what might change, and how each community would respond.

That's where personalized guidance becomes valuable.

At Embrace Age Prepared, we help families look beyond the list and understand what could be a better fit.

If you're exploring care options for someone you love, we'd be glad to talk.

Thinking about an ADU on your property? 🏠 An accessory dwelling unit is a second, smaller home on the same lot — a backyard cottage, a garage conversion, or a space over a garage. Done right, it can house family, give you rental income, or let someone age in place close by. Done wrong, it can eat your budget before you ever get to the finish work. With thirty years in construction — I know houses — I can project manage the build for you, or work as your consultant while you're your own general contractor, helping you plan the scope, the budget, and the sequence. Before you break ground, let's check whether your lot, your utilities, and your numbers actually work. Looking at an ADU? Send me the property, and let's walk it together. 👉 https://www.unitedrealestateproperties.com/agents/1921167/Michael+Howe

Thinking of buying a property for an adult foster home? Start here. 🏠 In Oregon, adult foster homes are licensed by the state and capped at five residents — and you, or a qualified resident manager, have to live in the home. Lane County has the largest need for new homes anywhere in Oregon. But not every house can become one, and the checks come before the offer: the layout, the live-in rule, and the numbers at five residents, with real staffing costs. Check those three first. Looking at one now? Let's walk it together. 👉 https://www.unitedrealestateproperties.com/agents/1921167/Michael+Howe

Buying a home to lease to an adult foster home Provider? Don't start with the rent — start with five numbers: purchase price, improvements, starting rent, full-census rent, and vacancy reserve. If the deal only works at five residents, it doesn't work. Thirty years in construction taught me where the expensive surprises hide. I know houses. Send me the address and I'll run it like it was my own money. 👉 https://www.unitedrealestateproperties.com/agents/1921167/Michael+Howe
