There was an interesting article in the Oregonian last week about Arbor Custom Homes. The article had an encouraging message from one of our owners Wally Remmers. He was speaking at a banquet to subcontractors and suppliers of Arbor's. Wally is confident of a continued rebound in the year ahead. It was exciting to see that Arbor Custom Homes is going to be building around 350 new homes in the coming year. He admits that times have been very challenging as one of the last standing local builders in the Portland area. Arbor has taken some opportunities that are not part our their "normal" business model. I also like what Wally said about the downturn in the market "has thinned out the industry to the real players" The Arbor Crossing neighborhood was specifically recognized as an opportunity for buyers to take advantage of the significant price erosion in the Portland housing market. The pass currently has condos priced in the $209,000 price range. If you have the opportunity to read the article in full it was in the business section December 3, 2010. The article was written by Jeff Manning.
