Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, October 2024 Report
Here in Portland, the real estate market often adheres to seasonal patterns. Currently, inventory remains high, and buyer traffic is lukewarm as it typical in the fall. Price reductions are high and will likely continue to climb as sellers contend with longer market times and increased competition. As usual, this results in more options and […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, September 2024 Report
As we kick off the Fall buying season, the Portland real estate market is already in its typical cooldown phase that started in August. If seasonal predictions hold (and they are highly likely to), we’ll be seeing medium buyer traffic and high inventory. In September, home buyers will have more favorable conditions for pricing and […]
2025 Portland Real Estate Market Forecast
This one is going to be a challenge. It is an election year. The economy is in turmoil. The Portland and national real estate market has been unsettled since 2020. It boomed until mid-2022, then screeched to a halt with historic (in terms of the fast rate of increase) interest rate hikes. The 2023 Portland […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, August 2024 Report
Available home inventory has increased significantly and more homes are undergoing more price drops, which is creating a cooler housing market that will increasingly benefit homebuyers. Pending sales have decreased but buyer traffic has remained constant and average prices are stable, indicating that there are still opportunities for sellers. As buyer traffic wanes and inventory […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, July 2024 Report
Home buyer traffic is beginning to taper off and available home inventory is increasing more significantly, shifting market conditions to favor home buyers. Pending sales have increased slightly and prices have continued to remain stable however, leaving room for sellers to benefit from the lingering effects of the Spring selling season. With the expected decrease […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, June 2024 Report
A considerable drop in home buyer traffic combined with a significant increase in available home inventory have begun to cool down the Portland housing market. However, there was a modest increase in pending sales while prices remained stable, signifying that the market retains some strength. The time for sellers to list their homes is now, […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, May 2024 Report
The high level of home buyer traffic we saw early in Spring is beginning to wane a little due to the recent increase in mortgage rates (yet numbers still remain high) while home inventory is starting to climb. These market shifts have stabilized prices, which may begin to decrease in the coming weeks if these […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, April 2024 Report
Portland home buyer traffic is steadily increasing while home inventory has stabilized (yet showing signs of increasing in the near future) and consequently, home prices are climbing higher and setting the market up for an active spring season. Sellers will benefit from increasing buyer competition over the coming months, and home buyers should act fast […]
Portland, Oregon Property Taxes Among Highest in U.S. – Mostly Stable in 2024
In 2023, Portland voters approved two measures that will affect property owners. One that voters chose to renew continues to support education programs and food security for children while also helping foster children and youth to succeed. The second renewed a five-year levy to sustain emergency fire and medical services for Riverdale residents. Home prices […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, March 2024 Report
The number of active home buyers on the market has increased significantly since our last Feb. report, while home inventory has dropped further and prices have begun to rise more steadily. Conditions are right for sellers to benefit from these factors that will likely only improve as we head into Spring, when the Portland housing […]
Portland Real Estate Market Forecast 2024
Licensed since 2003, with over 2,000 home sales, I write a Portland real estate market forecast annually. To be more specific, I write one in the late summer and then I update it a couple of times in the winter before the next spring selling season rolls around. Most years I am able to predict […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, February 2024 Report
The Portland housing market is currently balanced, with a significant drop in available home inventory and slow buyer traffic combined with a slight increase in prices. These conditions signify that homes are starting to sell again and the market is gaining strength as we draw closer to the Spring seller’s market. Right now opportunities exist […]
Are People Moving out of Portland? Population Growth 2024 Update
It’s that time of the year again when we look at the growing (or shrinking) population of Portland and how it reflects in the Portland real estate market. Ever since the notable upswing in the Oregon population from 2010 to 2020, with a 10.6% increase, Oregon has faced a rocky population climb. However, now that […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, January 2024 Report
Our local housing market is in a cold state with a high inventory of detached homes, slow but continuing price drops and the number of active buyers at its lowest point for the year. Pending sales have continued to decrease and inventory is beginning to drop, but at a slower pace than in recent winter […]
Portland, Oregon Radon Map – Plus Free Tests (for some).
Updated 08/2024. A perennial Oregon topic is how the influx of migrants from California is affecting life here. But it’s Montana and Idaho we should be worried about. And the migrants I’m referring to aren’t people; they are rocks. “In the Portland metropolitan area, a lot of the rocks and soil underneath the Willamette Valley […]
Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, December 2023 Report
The Portland housing market is continuing to cool down with the winter season and prices are at their lowest point for the year. Buyer traffic is steadily dropping while detached home inventory remains high, negatively impacting the number of sales. These cooler market conditions will work to the advantage of motivated homebuyers before inventory drops […]
Stephen made the experience of selling my first house seamless. I live in another state but he kept me informed and moved the process along without a hitch. The only thing another agent could have done differently was charge a much higher commission. I only wish he was able help me purchase in my state. Highly recommend his service and business model.
