House Hunting Adventures!

House prices are going nuts here in the Portland, Oregon area as well. (Maybe fueled by people moving out of Portlandistan and into the 'burbs lol).
Our house was built in 2004 and cost $272,000.
Probably was worth over $400,000 by 2008 when it all crashed.
Back down to $260-270k then.
Slowly crept up. It wasn't until about a year ago that a similar house in our 59-home development sold for over $400k, finally breaking that barrier.
Then a few months after that one sold for over $450k.
Our house is 2540 square feet, 4 bedroom 3 bath two-story with a living room, family room, bonus room (with closet), and a den. Lot size just 51 x 110 feet. Two-car garage.
I was guessing our house was finally safely back to $425k or more.
Then a few weeks ago I learned that one of the smallest house plans in the neighborhood (maybe 2200 sq. ft) just sold for $530k.
Holy smokes. I wish I was retired and we were ready to sell and move.

Updates: Looks like we are closing around April 13th. Our in-person visit and inspection went well. The sellers are pretty easy as they accepted nearly all of our inspection finding requests, and even are leaving a few items that are a PITA to move, like some patio furniture and a massive gun safe (5' tall). #jolly
