omebuyers racing against the year-end deadline are scouring online platforms like Redfin for their dream homes. Amidst serious searches within budget or preferred locations, many can't resist browsing through extravagant mansions and unique properties. One such Portland property that's garnered significant attention is the Ivy Estate, a renovated 3.26-acre estate featuring an opulent ballroom and speakeasy-themed billiards room. Priced at $25 million, it's one of the most viewed listings on Redfin.

    In contrast, more modest homes are also available in Portland's neighborhoods. For instance, a midcentury modern house in the Reed neighborhood is listed for $1,129,000. The property was sold by David Hopkins and Kelsie Hopkins Pfeif of Premiere Property Group.
