http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlB7WlU4QYY Do Open houses sell Houses in Salem, Oregon? You've hired a Broker now they are asking you to leave your home in the hands of a Realtor. The Broker is in your home while strangers walk into your home and view it so they can possibly buy the home. So the question does an open house really sell your home? Is it worth the time that it takes you to get your home in order? Are you ready for the strangers to walk through your home? What is your opinion? Are you a for sale by owner who does their own open houses? Have you had good results from doing your own open house? Let me know I'm wondering what the opinion is regarding this matter here in Salem, Oregon. What do you do to get ready for the open house? 08/08/2009

View Larger Map I just wrote a post a couple of days about about "old" Englewood. Despite the fact that Englewood is one area, there really are to vey different atmosphere's to the neighborhood.  East Englewood runs from 23rd to around Park and is made up of homes built in the 1950-1970 range.  Variations on a ranch could be the theme for this part of Englewood.While the neighborhood is very stable, it doesn't have the variety of architecture of older Englewood.  I wouldn't call it cookie cutter, but it does lack some architectural diversity.East Englewood neighborhood feeds into Hoover Elementary School, Parrish Middle School, and North Salem High School.

Englewood.  Doesn't it seem like many towns have an Englewood neighborhood?  Salem is no exception. Sandwiched between Market Street and D Street, Englewood runs from about 17th to 22nd, and East Englewood runs from 23rd to around Park.  Centrally located in Salem, Englewood is actually a patchwork of two neighborhoods that have drastically different characteristics.  I like to call them Old Englewood and East Englewood.  These are not official designations, just my made up musings... The only reason, I bring up the distinction, as they are all referred to as Englewood, is that East Englewood has newer more ranch style homes, where older Englewood has older cottage style homes. They both have their own distinct architecture. This blog today is about the old Englewood part of town.The ho... 08/15/2008
