The day that Sarah Bond finally became a homeowner, she had almost given up.
It was 2021, the housing market was red hot, she and her husband Joel kept getting outbid.
They were starting to think maybe their family would never have a place they could make their own,
a place where she and Joel could plant blueberry bushes,
a place where their daughter JoJo could raise baby ducks and chickens.
Then she got a call from her realtor.
She left a voicemail and she said congratulations and I was like, what?
And it started like.
I was like, no way.
And I told my husband, he was like, are you serious?
Are you kidding?
The house that was now their house was white with black trim, two stories tall.
It was nicer than she ever thought she could afford.
And it was located in their dream neighborhood on a tree lined street in Southwest Portland.
She remembers when they first went to visit the area.
