Out-of-staters are buying Oregon homes with cash and remodeling sight unseen, real estate agents say OregonLive.com 5/6/2021 Janet Eastman, oregonlive.com

Digital workers, set loose to live anywhere during and likely after the coronavirus pandemic, have discovered they can get more for less here, especially compared to high-priced Seattle and the San Francisco Bay area. They are adding pressure to already tough buying conditions, agents add.
