Joe Reitzug

Welcome to Off the Record talking real estate with Joe and Makayla. If you're interested in the Portland, Oregon real estate market and want the unvarnished inside scoop, you've come to the right place. Thanks for giving us a listen. Okay. Welcome, everyone. Thanks for joining us today. Hello, Makayla.

00;00;26;13 - 00;00;27;15

Makayla Mast

Hi. How are you?

00;00;27;20 - 00;00;34;05

Joe Reitzug

I'm fantastic. It is Friday, junior. Got lots done today. And, you know, feeling good about things.

00;00;34;07 - 00;00;42;08

Makayla Mast

Good. That's very good to hear. The sun is out. It's first Thursday down here in the Pearl. Yeah. We don't get out soon. We're going to be trapped. So.

00;00;42;11 - 00;00;47;15

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, the tents are going up. All the smells are happening. Yes, they and everything.

00;00;47;18 - 00;00;50;28

Makayla Mast

Everyone's walking around. It's a very good place to see.

00;00;51;01 - 00;01;09;23

Joe Reitzug

Everyone's happy. So we've got an amazing show for you here today. We're going to talk about some neighborhoods to watch. If you are thinking of moving to Portland and are trending towards that luxury segment, you know, probably what would you say 1 million to 1 million. Five.

00;01;09;23 - 00;01;10;10

Makayla Mast

Yeah.

00;01;10;13 - 00;01;27;10

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, million to a million. Five in and around Portland. So we're talking Portland, Hillsboro, Sherwood, West Linn, Oregon City, some really, really cool neighborhoods. I have to give you credit, Makayla, put this together and I think you knocked it out of the park.

00;01;27;11 - 00;01;47;20

Makayla Mast

Oh, well. Thank you. Yeah. I scrolled through 101 listings to find the eight best new construction developments in the proper Portland metro area. Yeah, and there's definitely some outliers and some ones we don't get to talk about. But it was fun to go through all of the areas and discuss why we think it's a good area to, or neighborhood to live in.

00;01;47;24 - 00;02;11;29

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, for sure. And it's one of those things right now where there's a lot of large developments coming in, like South Hillsboro and different things like that, but it's really cool to see the little niche markets that we're going to be talking about here. That might be six, seven, eight, maybe at the most 9 or 10 units and some really, really top quality builders that are putting these together.

00;02;11;29 - 00;02;31;16

Makayla Mast

So yeah, I agree, it's fun to look at the different builders and see what they're doing with the different floor plans and yeah, design choices. It's always fun to look at, but hopefully this can be a helpful guide to you even if you do live in Portland and you're just looking to make a major neighborhood move. But this is mainly geared towards folks who don't know anything about Portland.

00;02;31;16 - 00;02;35;03

Makayla Mast

So hopefully if you're a local, it doesn't sound too, too repetitive.

00;02;35;08 - 00;02;40;23

Joe Reitzug

No, no, I think there's a lot of them in here that a lot of Portland people might not know about.

00;02;40;26 - 00;02;42;09

Makayla Mast

Yeah, I discovered some.

00;02;42;09 - 00;02;48;27

Joe Reitzug

So well when I was reading through it before the show here. I'll be honest, there were 2 or 3 that I had no clue.

00;02;48;29 - 00;02;49;22

Makayla Mast

Oh, that's like.

00;02;49;23 - 00;02;51;23

Joe Reitzug

A little research.

00;02;51;25 - 00;03;15;14

Makayla Mast

So that's okay. So all of these that we're going to talk about, these are again what we call luxury homes. So all of these homes have exceptional square footage. You know chef's kitchens open floor plans beautiful updates likely are on a larger lots really really Premier homes are the ones that we're going to be discussing. So no cookie cutter neighborhoods.

00;03;15;14 - 00;03;19;04

Makayla Mast

You know I think new construction has gotten a bad one. Don't know.

00;03;19;04 - 00;03;25;22

Joe Reitzug

Kind of a bad rap as far as, you know, being just very un flavorful. Yeah.

00;03;25;22 - 00;03;26;18

Makayla Mast

Right.

00;03;26;20 - 00;03;53;22

Joe Reitzug

And all of these places we're going to talk about have some criteria to them that make them outstanding. Right. Either they're in really cool neighborhoods or they're on acreage or they're unique in some way. And by the way, if you're interested, you listen to the podcast, you're like, I really want to see some of these homes. Now you can go to LivPortland.com, LivPortland.com and click on blog.

00;03;53;25 - 00;04;05;00

Joe Reitzug

And we have a blog post in there that has live right ups on each one of these neighborhoods, and a link at the bottom that will take you to the homes that are available in there.

00;04;05;00 - 00;04;12;01

Makayla Mast

Yeah, yeah. So we'll try to link it in anywhere we can the show notes as well, but let us know what you think.

00;04;12;05 - 00;04;27;03

Joe Reitzug

Yeah for sure. Let's start off with an area that I'm very familiar with. We have, a number of friends that live in the West Linn area, and we will meet them over in this little neighborhood, and it is delightful.

00;04;27;03 - 00;04;29;13

Makayla Mast

Oh, my gosh, it's a dream.

00;04;29;13 - 00;04;52;02

Joe Reitzug

I know it's the old Willamette District in West Linn, and it's just this one Main Street that is absolutely so cool. And there's shops, there's restaurants, there's all sorts of little niche businesses and different things like that. And I got to give a shout out to our favorite restaurant and pub there, which is Jay Willy's.

00;04;52;07 - 00;04;54;23

Makayla Mast

Oh, never been to jail. Oh, I have it, please.

00;04;54;23 - 00;05;09;22

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, well, this is fantastic. Good food, cold beer. Just good folks. Really good. And we've met the owners there a number of times, and they. He's just a good guy and does really good business and takes care of his people there, so.

00;05;09;27 - 00;05;34;19

Makayla Mast

Oh, that's really cool. Yeah. I think that kind of speaks to the whole atmosphere of the street. I think it's very family friendly country views, but still that like smaller town, city, country feel and that's pretty, you know, hard to achieve I think in that, you know, that street just has that vibe where people are walking and biking and then looking for a long hang, which is really fun.

00;05;34;22 - 00;05;52;23

Makayla Mast

And the street specific is kind of around ninth Street. It's all of these new construction homes that are going up are walkable to this. All the Willamette District, which is so amazing. So you have that country like feel in the neighborhood, and you can walk or bike right on down to the downtown area.

00;05;52;26 - 00;06;14;25

Joe Reitzug

Yeah. And it's Westland School. So it is really, really highly ranked schools. But it's kind of a slice of Americana. You know, it reminds me a lot of where I grew up in the Midwest, the main street, you know, with, with all the cool older houses around it. So we do have a link on the website that will take you to a really cool new development there.

00;06;14;27 - 00;06;20;11

Joe Reitzug

That was some just amazing luxury homes. All walking distance to the main street to.

00;06;20;13 - 00;06;44;24

Makayla Mast

Yeah. So highly recommend we we didn't do this in any order per se, but I got to say, I think this neighborhood is up towards the top of the list for me. So yeah, we hope you find that useful. Number two is Campbell Garden in North Portland, which is one that I stumbled upon in my research, and they describe it as an architectural oasis tucked into a private treetop setting.

00;06;44;24 - 00;07;08;16

Makayla Mast

It's a local architect and builder who have both won several awards for their work, and they have built just eight custom luxury homes on this little street. And it's very Portland. It's very unique, very beautiful, and right tucked perfectly between, like the University of Portland area and Mississippi Street. So you can't go wrong in either direction.

00;07;08;18 - 00;07;18;07

Joe Reitzug

You know what I love about how the architect put these together is it sits on kind of a hill. I think all of the homes have rooftop patios.

00;07;18;07 - 00;07;19;05

Makayla Mast

So cool.

00;07;19;05 - 00;07;31;02

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, yeah. Really cool. Not sure about the views in anything, but how cool is that? Just to go up on your roof and have a nice spot to hang out and enjoy the summer breeze and all that sort of stuff?

00;07;31;03 - 00;07;42;18

Makayla Mast

Yeah. So lovely. So if you're looking to have new construction and get the downtown feel and truly experience what downtown Portland has to offer, this is definitely a development worth looking at.

00;07;42;19 - 00;07;47;00

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, for sure. And it's probably on the more affordable side of a lot of the neighborhoods we're going to talk about.

00;07;47;00 - 00;07;49;14

Makayla Mast

Yeah, it's hanging around, 1.1 million.

00;07;49;14 - 00;07;51;28

Joe Reitzug

All right. Next Happy Valley.

00;07;52;00 - 00;07;56;15

Makayla Mast

I felt like we just couldn't talk about new construction without talking about Happy Valley.

00;07;56;15 - 00;08;07;28

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, there is a ton going on out there. Yeah, but there are some developments in there that are unique, chic and very, very thoughtfully done.

00;08;08;00 - 00;08;08;11

Makayla Mast

00;08;08;13 - 00;08;11;02

Joe Reitzug

What did you find when you were looking at these.

00;08;11;02 - 00;08;44;27

Makayla Mast

Well in terms of inventory they have, you know price points all over the place. But we were honed in on the, you know, the ranges we've discussed. But I think what's so great about happy Valley is it's such an idyllic suburban lifestyle. Yeah. There's no other way to really describe it other than that. But it's very thoughtfully designed and it just feels like the neighborhood you want your kids growing up and where you know, everyone's trick or treating, and you watch all the kids walking to school every day at the same time, and they these neighborhoods five years in a row, they've had Street of Dreams homes.

00;08;45;00 - 00;08;49;09

Makayla Mast

And the ones that we're highlighting in this episode are on the 2025 Street of Dreams.

00;08;49;11 - 00;09;06;16

Joe Reitzug

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. Very nice. Yeah. Some very, very unique floor plan, some very cutting edge floor plans out there. So if you're looking for something that's maybe a little out of the ordinary Happy Valley, visit that link on our website and take a look at those, because they are really, really cool homes.

00;09;06;20 - 00;09;24;22

Makayla Mast

That you hit that. Yeah, that's a good point. The floor plans are so unique and huge. Yeah, really good sized homes and also top rated schools. They have a new high school out there that has been extremely popular and rated really highly in just the first few years it's been open.

00;09;24;25 - 00;09;37;05

Joe Reitzug

Yeah. So a commercial break for our construction that's going on in our office here. We're going to power right through people. So sorry about all the banging and whatnot, but construction waits for no one.

00;09;37;06 - 00;09;42;21

Makayla Mast

Yeah okay. Not yeah. Hopefully we can hear it. The mikes aren't picking it up. Right.

00;09;42;21 - 00;10;15;03

Joe Reitzug

I highly doubt. This next area is out in my neck of the woods, and out in Hillsborough. There's a new development called Padgett Estates. And if you know that area a little bit, it's if you know where Glencoe Road is in northwest, Washington County, it's over by Glencoe High School. But it's it's a about a half mile off of, of Glencoe Road right there.

00;10;15;05 - 00;10;20;06

Joe Reitzug

And there are some spectacular homes going in out there, and they're on acreage.

00;10;20;08 - 00;10;25;13

Makayla Mast

Yeah, those are things we don't hear. New construction, gated and acreage.

00;10;25;14 - 00;10;39;15

Joe Reitzug

Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. So they did I want to say 8 to 10 homes in there between 1,000,003. And I think 1,000,009, 6 or 7 of those are pending right now. And boy, they just went bang, bang, bang.

00;10;39;15 - 00;10;54;09

Makayla Mast

They went so fast. I barely saw any marketing on this. Which is crazy because we see all the marketing, right. But there's only a few left, but definitely worth highlighting. And I know what you love about the area is there is pretty much a golf course in every direction.

00;10;54;12 - 00;11;16;08

Joe Reitzug

Oh yeah, Pumpkin Ridge is right on the other side of highway 26. You got all sorts of options out there, but just the ability to have a custom home like that with an amazing floor plan on acreage in a gated community like that, is really unique to, to Hillsborough on the West side because we just we don't see a lot of that.

00;11;16;12 - 00;11;30;09

Makayla Mast

Right. And if you're not from here, it's worth noting that, Hillsboro is home of Intel, and we're also very close to the Nike headquarters. So if you're looking to move here and you're working at either of those places, this is really a good spot to look at.

00;11;30;11 - 00;11;38;08

Joe Reitzug

Yep. All the tech that's out there. My guess is there's more than a couple of Intel guys that probably brought their thing.

00;11;38;11 - 00;11;45;09

Makayla Mast

So a little oasis. Best of both worlds. Being close to work and having your privacy. Yeah.

00;11;45;12 - 00;11;48;22

Joe Reitzug

So tell me about Denali Summit and Sherwood.

00;11;48;24 - 00;12;13;23

Makayla Mast

Yes. This one was also a street of Dreams. So it was street dreams for 2023. And then it's going to be 2025 and 2026. It's right in the southeast area of Sherwood. The homes are just stunning. So I had to talk about it. There in the, 1.4 to 1.8 range. If I can remember correctly, the streets are just so thoughtfully designed.

00;12;13;23 - 00;12;27;16

Makayla Mast

They have really nice forest backdrops. You know, they're slowly building this neighborhood out, which I think has a lot of pros you can enjoy. You know, that much in the neighborhood built, I guess, but, it's on a hill too.

00;12;27;16 - 00;12;39;29

Joe Reitzug

So, yeah, they're on larger lots. And if you're looking for single level, I noticed notice that there were a couple of single level homes that had been built. Just really, really good construction too.

00;12;39;29 - 00;12;58;13

Makayla Mast

Yeah. And what we love about Sherwood is it's right on the edge of wine country, if not considered wine country 70. You know, you can really enjoy all of what Wine Country has to offer. Just, you know, being ten, 15 minutes away from hundreds of wineries is pretty special.

00;12;58;20 - 00;12;59;00

Joe Reitzug

Yeah.

00;12;59;05 - 00;13;01;05

Makayla Mast

They also have top rated schools in Sherwood.

00;13;01;05 - 00;13;29;10

Joe Reitzug

Which I was just going to say, Sherwood School District is outstanding, that that community has done a wonderful job of supporting those schools and making the investment there. You know, those homes, they're not huge lots. They're quarter acre lots for the most part. But really, really well done. And a lot of times have you noticed this, Makayla, where builders will have like a quarter acre lot and they'll position the home in a weird way where you're like, well, that doesn't do anything for me, right?

00;13;29;12 - 00;13;31;29

Makayla Mast

To turn cram in as many as we can in the neighborhood.

00;13;31;29 - 00;13;41;13

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, yeah. But even when there's a larger lot, sometimes how they place it makes a difference. And I noticed that in this development they put a lot of thought into that.

00;13;41;14 - 00;13;47;13

Makayla Mast

Yeah I agree. So I think that's one of the pros of, you know, taking their time to build.

00;13;47;17 - 00;13;50;09

Joe Reitzug

Yeah for sure. For sure.

00;13;50;12 - 00;14;16;06

Makayla Mast

So this next neighborhood is Creekside at Westview in Northwest Portland, which is technically Bethany. This development kind of rides the line between Bethany and your true Northwest Portland area. There are very few homes available. This is also one where this development went very, very fast. But it also gives you that urban suburban feel because you're so close to Portland.

00;14;16;06 - 00;14;36;27

Makayla Mast

And that whole Bethany area is so thoughtfully designed as well. They have a little, I wouldn't call it like a downtown area, but the grocery and the restaurants and everything you need in the area. But it gives you that true northwest feel. It's, you know, up in the hills, in the forest. And it's just a really beautiful development.

00;14;36;27 - 00;14;38;19

Makayla Mast

They've done great things over there.

00;14;38;26 - 00;14;49;01

Joe Reitzug

They really have. And, you know, the question that I'm sure a lot of our listeners are asking themselves, is it Multnomah County or Washington County? Yes. And it's Washington County.

00;14;49;03 - 00;14;52;17

Makayla Mast

So nice. It's a huge perk of this area.

00;14;52;19 - 00;15;14;18

Joe Reitzug

For those not familiar with Portland real estate, Multnomah County love it. Lots of great things about it. Property taxes are not one of those. They are significantly higher in Multnomah County than they are in Washington and Clackamas. Right? So big, big plus for this community to be right across that county line.

00;15;14;19 - 00;15;27;29

Makayla Mast

Oh yeah. Definitely. And it kind of is on the beginning of Forest Park area. So if you are someone who likes to hike, great spot to be in. Yeah. Which I know you have mixed emotions, mixed feelings about hiking, but.

00;15;28;01 - 00;15;34;16

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, I just I get plenty of walking in. I don't need to schedule it.

00;15;34;18 - 00;15;35;01

Makayla Mast

Okay?

00;15;35;08 - 00;15;36;10

Joe Reitzug

I do like walking.

00;15;36;10 - 00;15;37;20

Makayla Mast

It's just so funny, people.

00;15;37;21 - 00;15;41;13

Joe Reitzug

Two dogs at a time. Even though I golfed with.

00;15;41;15 - 00;15;42;18

Makayla Mast

These kind of.

00;15;42;20 - 00;15;47;03

Joe Reitzug

Husband last weekend. Yeah, we got cards, man. I'm old.

00;15;47;05 - 00;15;48;03

Makayla Mast

I'm not judging.

00;15;48;04 - 00;15;56;14

Joe Reitzug

Okay? No judgments, good judgments. Late Grove, Lake Oswego is our next community that we're talking about. I love Lake Grove.

00;15;56;14 - 00;15;57;15

Makayla Mast

It's awesome.

00;15;57;15 - 00;16;16;13

Joe Reitzug

Yeah. And there's so many older homes in there on large lots that have been remodeled, updated and are just spectacular because it's a wonderful, wonderful location. And a lot of people look at north. So North shore, South shore, around the lake.

00;16;16;14 - 00;16;17;08

Makayla Mast

00;16;17;10 - 00;16;39;18

Joe Reitzug

And then up in the hills in between Lake Oswego and West Linn and they forget about Lake Grove. And Lake Grove is so centrally located and it has so many large lots, you know, a lot of times builders will come in and buy the home and, you know, there's some homes in there that are smaller homes, maybe not maintain that well or whatever.

00;16;39;18 - 00;16;53;09

Joe Reitzug

And they just take the home out and have these beautiful lots that they build these spectacular homes on. And there's, you know, you can drive through Lake Grove and within five minutes you're going to see 20 spec homes being built, right?

00;16;53;11 - 00;17;04;18

Makayla Mast

Yeah. But they're doing such a good job with them. A lot of custom or local builders, these ones tend to trend closer to the 4 million range.

00;17;04;20 - 00;17;12;20

Joe Reitzug

I know we told everyone 1 to 1 five. Now we're talking about Lake Grove, where we're, you know, 3.8, 3.9.

00;17;12;22 - 00;17;26;25

Makayla Mast

Yeah. But hey, they're 5000 square foot homes, so and they're in blocks from Lake Oswego itself, the country club, the downtown area, it there's nothing you're not getting. Yeah. Here.

00;17;26;27 - 00;17;38;26

Joe Reitzug

And a lot of these are walking distance to some really fantastic restaurants. You know really high end grocery stores. It's just a really neat community. I love Lake Grove.

00;17;38;29 - 00;17;46;18

Makayla Mast

I don't think you can talk about, luxury real estate in Oregon without talking about all the homes in Lake Oswego.

00;17;46;20 - 00;17;48;28

Joe Reitzug

True. Yeah, 100%.

00;17;49;03 - 00;18;01;05

Makayla Mast

If you're, you know, considering a couple neighborhoods, this one is definitely worth looking at. And this is Clackamas County. So, yeah. Again, not as bad as Multnomah County for property taxes.

00;18;01;07 - 00;18;14;07

Joe Reitzug

But on 4 million you're going to pay steep ticket on that. Yeah, but that's okay. I mean, we've sold a few of those here recently and the property taxes come with amazing homes.

00;18;14;07 - 00;18;23;09

Makayla Mast

Yeah. And it truly has it all. The area. Yeah. The top rated public schools in the state from elementary to middle to high school.

00;18;23;12 - 00;18;24;23

Joe Reitzug

I think Westlands right there too.

00;18;24;23 - 00;18;25;15

Makayla Mast

Oh, really?

00;18;25;17 - 00;18;29;04

Joe Reitzug

I think they battle back and forth between scream has the highest rated.

00;18;29;07 - 00;18;35;02

Makayla Mast

I mean nines and tens. I consider that a win considering I think I went to like a six.

00;18;35;04 - 00;18;43;14

Joe Reitzug

So yeah, I got educated by the Jesuits. They don't allow for ratings.

00;18;43;17 - 00;18;44;07

Makayla Mast

Because they're too.

00;18;44;07 - 00;19;04;13

Joe Reitzug

Good. They're too good. Yeah. So, tell me about this place, this community in West Linn. Our last one. I, I know a little bit about it just because I drive through it quite a bit, but, what I was reading from what you put together, I did not know half that.

00;19;04;15 - 00;19;30;18

Makayla Mast

Yeah. So also a Street of Dreams neighborhood. This will be 20, 26. You know, I felt kind of silly doing two Westland neighborhoods, but this one is that exceptional, in my opinion. And there are enough, you know, enough inventory listings. I should say, that this is definitely worth considering. It's just that perfect country slash neighborhood feel. You have a lot of valley views, a lot of horse properties.

00;19;30;18 - 00;19;48;04

Makayla Mast

You feel like you're out in the country. Well, because you are. And then you come across this gorgeous neighborhood on the hill, just in my opinion, like storybook front yards. Yeah, just gorgeous, gorgeous landscaping and well-maintained homes all around.

00;19;48;06 - 00;19;54;05

Joe Reitzug

I mean, I'm looking at six bedrooms, four baths, 40 300ft² for 1.3.

00;19;54;07 - 00;19;56;06

Makayla Mast

Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah. Not bad.

00;19;56;06 - 00;20;04;06

Joe Reitzug

Yeah. You know, new construction on a not a huge lot, but a larger lot. Yeah, really good stuff.

00;20;04;08 - 00;20;17;26

Makayla Mast

I think they did a good job with these, you know, custom homes as well. Very unique floor plans. It's not one of those neighborhoods where every house looks the same, or every third house looks the same. It truly looks custom built.

00;20;17;28 - 00;20;36;24

Joe Reitzug

Yeah. For sure. Yeah. And I love West Linn. It's just it's such a neat community. There's a lot of pride there. They take care of their schools, you know, like we said, extremely highly rated. Their high school athletic teams are some of the best in the state. You got an athlete in the house. That's always a nice thing.

00;20;36;25 - 00;20;48;08

Makayla Mast

You're definitely not down in. Are you not going to be zipping downtown? It's not a place to live if you want to be in Portland all the time, but it's still 25 30 minutes, so it's not terrible.

00;20;48;14 - 00;21;13;08

Joe Reitzug

Yeah, yeah for sure. I think all these communities, Makayla, kind of point out why working with a experienced real estate professional so important when you're, you know, if you want to see everything that's out there and you want to find something that fits you, these are the type of neighborhoods and communities and developments that a lot of people just don't see.

00;21;13;10 - 00;21;13;22

Makayla Mast

00;21;13;29 - 00;21;32;01

Joe Reitzug

And a lot of, you know, you were mentioning that there's not a lot of marketing on a couple of these. There's not a lot of marketing on these because they really don't have to, they don't have to spend that marketing money to find the buyers for these, that the word of mouth and the people in town that know and brokers like you and I.

00;21;32;04 - 00;21;58;20

Joe Reitzug

Who know certain builders when they have stuff coming up in certain areas, we just, you just know they're going to be, it's going to be spectacular. And that's why they go so fast. But you know if you're, if you're thinking about making a move, if you're thinking about, you know, moving up, getting a little bit more, you know, finding that dream house, whatever, it is definitely worth it to talk to someone like Makayla that knows these little nooks and crannies of the market that that make it so special.

00;21;58;23 - 00;22;19;29

Makayla Mast

I agree, I think each of these neighborhoods can provide a different, slightly different lifestyle, and it's important to take your time to figure out which one works best for you. And we love getting to tour these neighborhoods. It's so much fun for us. And, you know, helping people find that neighborhood that's perfect for you and your family is why we do this.

00;22;19;29 - 00;22;24;28

Makayla Mast

So it would be, you know, worth taking the time to go through a couple of these.

00;22;25;03 - 00;22;34;22

Joe Reitzug

Yeah. For sure. Well, that's the show for today. Thank you, everyone for all your support and we really appreciate it. Makayla, have a wonderful rest of your day.

00;22;34;23 - 00;22;36;25

Makayla Mast

You too. Happy Thursday.

00;22;36;26 - 00;22;38;06

Joe Reitzug

Happy Thursday. Bye everyone.
