A wonderful way to support a valued community member! Thank you Sybaris Bistro for doing this 💙🧡

Update- we are working on a link for donations. Stay tuned! Our dear friend Rod Bigner is preparing for a life-saving kidney transplant, and our community is coming together to help ease the financial burden on his family. Since Rod’s kidneys failed in January 2024, ongoing complications, dialysis, and hospital visits have led to significant medical expenses. Even with medical financial assistance, the costs of surgery, lodging in Portland for post-op care, and lost work time add up quickly.

That’s where we stepped in with the idea to support Rod and his kidney donor, local teacher Justin Roach. Sybaris Bistro is hosting a fundraiser dinner on Sunday, March 23rd at 5:00 PM, with proceeds going to the Bigner family.

📌Market Trends: Currently, 36.58% of young adults between the ages of 18-34 are still living at home. Bloomberg cites economic headwinds like high inflation, lingering effects of pandemic lock downs, student loan debt, unaffordable home prices, and an uncertain job market as reasons why young people are staying home in such large numbers. This trend can significantly impact the housing market by reducing demand for entry-level homes, leading to slower price appreciation and potentially creating a backlog of buyers that once they are able to move out, could put pressure on the market and cause escalating home prices.

Stay to learn how housing trends could impact your next move. And, as always, reach out to your awesome Connected Real Estate Group broker if you have any questions.
