Draw a straight line south from the sublimely named Sublimity and you’ll hit upon the small community of Stayton. This city of a little more than 7,000 people lies around half an hour southeast of the state capital Salem. Surrounded by farmland and with a welcoming small-town feel, Stayton, Oregon real estate is ideal for those who want to enjoy a rural lifestyle without having to give up the benefits of city living.
A former mill and timber town, Stayton got its name from one of its first settlers, Drury S. Stayton, who built a sawmill in the area in 1870. The city was incorporated in 1891 and now has an economy that’s largely agriculture-based, with a mix of light manufacturing and retail. Norpac Foods, Inc., which has around 1,000 employees, is the city’s biggest employer.
Though the city experienced a decline after the dissolution of the timber industry in the 1980s, Stayton has managed to turn itself around. The downtown area is getting a facelift and Stayton, Oregon real estate has been attracting attention from folks who want to live in a peaceful, family-friendly community.
If you’re selling and not buying Stayton, Oregon real estate, be advised that the appreciation rates aren’t as high as they used to be and that there are more sellers than buyers these days. So price your home competitively and make sure that you’re aware of what the current pricings are, as well as of the inventory and the absorption rates. Don’t forget to make your home look as attractive as possible, too – but don’t overdo it. Paint colors that are too bright, for example, can blind buyers to your home’s good qualities.
