🚨 MARCH 2025 NORTHWEST REO INVENTORY REPORT – ASSET MANAGERS, PAY ATTENTION! 🚨
🏡 The market is shifting, and if you’re holding REO inventory in the Pacific Northwest, you need real strategies, not guesswork.
📊 Inventory is up 39.4% YOY, but sales are barely moving (+1.9%).
📈 Home prices keep climbing (yes, even in the distressed market).
💰 New construction is about to cost more thanks to tariffs—making your REO properties even more attractive (if priced right).
🏃♂️ The clock is ticking—higher inventory is coming, and Days on Market WILL increase.
💡 So what’s the play?
✔️ Price it right from DAY ONE—buyers aren’t throwing cash at just anything anymore.
✔️ Move your stale inventory FAST before more competition hits in Q2.
✔️ Know your buyer—Retail buyers want move-in ready, investors want discounts. Price accordingly!

hello asset managers Ario Specialists
and institutional sellers welcome to
your March 2025 Northwest Aro inventory
report I’m Ed Lane managing broker and
team leader here to provide you with the
insights you need to make datadriven
decisions in today’s evolving Market
[Music]
let’s talk strategy execution and how we
can help you move assets efficiently and
profitably here’s what you need to know
about the overall
Market the market is moving but
affordability is still the issue while
inventory is up
39.4% year-over-year
closed sales have only increased
1.9% this tells us one thing buyers are
there but they are selective they’re
navigating affordability concerns
watching mortgage rates which tick down
slightly from 6.95 to
6.76 and acting only when the right deal
presents
itself now home prices are also Rising
median prices jumped 2.4% from January
to February
a difference from 615,000 to 630,000 for
REO assets this presents an opportunity
buyers still perceive value and are
willing to pay however they’re less
likely to overpay than in previous years
meaning competitive pricing is
key inventory remains tight but that
won’t last a balanced Market is known
from having six months of inventory
currently we have just 2.45 months this
means demand still exceeds Supply but as
more distressed and traditional
properties hit the market the window for
optimal pricing is
closing new construction will get more
expensive tariffs on Canadian and Mex
Mexican Imports including Lumber
fixtures and appliances will increase
cost by 4 to 6% possibly 10 to 20% for
certain Goods
with construction costs Rising existing
Oro properties become a more attractive
option for buyers looking for
affordability if positioned
correctly so what’s the key REO strategy
for asset
managers well number one price it right
the first 30 days are critical with
affordability concerns pressuring buyers
overpriced assets will sit properties
that receive prices adjustments later
tend to sell for Less overall than those
priced aggressively upfront our strategy
we leverage in-depth Market data to
price assets for immediate traction
maximizing initial exposure and
minimizing carrying
costs number two asset turnover turnover
speed is everything holding on to Aro
inventory too long in a shifting Market
increases your carrying costs and
reduces return dayon Market will likely
increase as more inventory enters the
market in Q2 and
Q3 our strategy we employ a datadriven
disposition plan that ensures your
properties are priced for liquidity
while maintaining maximum
return and number three buyer Behavior
movein ready versus discount driven the
majority of enduser buyers are seeking
movein ready homes while in investors
are looking for deeper discounts knowing
which buyer segment to Target for each
asset type is crucial our strategy we
position ouro properties to attract the
right buyer profile by implementing
strategic repairs targeted marking and
compelling pricing strategies to drive
multiple offer
scenarios here are my Aro and
foreclosure Market
recommendations for high value
properties get ahead of the market by
pricing competitively now before
increased inventory impacts your days on
market for low tier properties investors
are active and looking for deals price
these to move quickly before interest
rates impact their buying
power for bulk portfolios now is the
time to assess and adjust pricing before
market conditions shift further in
Q2 for state inventory if a property
isn’t moving a quick repositioning
strategy through pricing adjustments
minor rehab or expanded marketing is
critical so why partner with Ed Lane and
