Giving New Meaning To The Term ‘Housing Slide’
As if Portland homeowners weren’t worrying about slipping home values, some are seeing random, unprovoked housing disasters.
Early this morning, a 3,300 sq. ft. home in the Hillsdale neighborhood of SW Portland broke free from its foundation, and rumbled downhill into the homes of two neighbors on Terwilliger Blvd.
The aftermath looks like something out of ‘Twister’. Unbelievable. It even made CNN News this morning (courtesy of KGW News).
What it says to me is, if you’re in the market for a hillside home, a visit from a local structural engineer should be a part of your home inspection process … and perhaps, a study of surrounding homes, particularly those uphill.
And to think, it’s not even monsoon season yet.

I saw that on the news, that was crazy. What was truly amazing was that the home owner of the home that slid down the hill was not hurt. God was watching out for her.
