Oregon was the top moving destination in 2015 for the third year in a row, according to a study of 123,000 moves from United Van Lines.Almost 70% of the interstate moves in Oregon were people moving to the state.

Five of the 10 states with the highest number of inbound movers are west of the Mississippi River. The tech boom has played a big role in enticing new residents to the West Coast, but that's just part of the attraction.
We are seeing people drawn for lifestyle issues: more green space and looking for a lower cost of living," said Melissa Sullivan, director, marketing communications at UniGroup, which operates United Van Lines.
But finding a home in Oregon's biggest city has become more expensive. Home prices in Portland increased almost 11% in October from the same time last year, according to the most recent S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index.
The South was also a popular moving destination last year, with South Carolina ranking second.
"As Baby Boomers get closer to retirement age, we are seeing people move out of colder climates and into places with warmer weather," Sullivan said.
Some states in the Northeast are having a hard time hanging onto their residents. New Jersey saw the highest number of moves out of the state last year, followed by New York.
Here are the top 10 inbound states for 2015, according to United Van Lines:
1. Oregon 
2. South Carolina 
3. Vermont 
4. Idaho 
5. North Carolina 
6. Florida 
7. Nevada 
8. District of Columbia 
9. Texas 
10. Washington
Here are the top 10 outbound states for 2015:
1. New Jersey 
2. New York 
3. Illinois 
4. Connecticut 
5. Ohio 
6. Kansas

The top 5 mistakes people make selling their homes. Team Thayer Official Oregon Real Estate News.

5 home selling mistakes with Team Thayer 1. Trying to sell your home yourself In this DIY era, the urge to try to sell your home yourself to save money can beckon like the smell of oven-fresh cookies at an open house. Resist.  Working with a licensed agent  helps ensure you’re not leaving money on the table as a result of an off-target listing price or a mistake in the many steps that lead to a final sale. Sell your sofa yourself online. List your home with a professional. 2. Picking the wrong Realtor Not all agents are equal. Just because your college buddy dabbles in the industry doesn't mean he’s the best guy to sell your home. You want experience. You want to  work with an agent  who has a depth of knowledge. Invite your buddy to the house-warming party.  Find an agent  who can truly perform. Do you research.  Top Home Sales Mistakes 3. Pricing your home too high Sometimes it’s good to aim high. But when you’re setting a price for your home, it’s better to b

Best Types of Gravel for Driveways #landscape #Oregon

There are four materials commonly used for driveways – gravel, asphalt, concrete and pavers. Which one you choose will be based on your budget, your climate and conditions and the length of your driveway. Gravel driveways are hands-down the most affordable option upfront. Asphalt driveways place second in cost, followed by cement and pavers. Although gravel driveways are the least expensive initially, they require the most maintenance long-term. Annual maintenance includes an herbicide application and raking. You’ll need to add more gravel every two to four years, especially if you live in a snowy area or have a sloped driveway. The act of snow removal scrapes up a lot of gravel and deposits it on the sides of the road. You must rake the gravel annually to push it back in place. If you’re willing to keep up with the maintenance, though, gravel is an affordable, durable material and makes an attractive driveway. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about buying an
