Portland’s real estate market is on fire. This is no hype… The price of a home continues to rise while the inventory of homes for sale remains at historic lows. There is just 2.5 months of unsold inventory in the Portland Metro Area. If you’re looking to buy in close-in neighborhoods of SE or NE Portland, expect to compete with multiple offers.
Click Here and read my summary to see how this can benefit
you.
In Summary:
The most compelling news is a 15% rise in the average and
median sales price of a Portland home this year. This increase compares
to a low-point in home prices last year, though represents a solid rebound from
the end of the housing market downturn. Home buyers have returned to the
market with confidence and determination, which combined with very few homes for
sale, has put an upward pressure on home prices. This could be the
right time to sell your house if you've been waiting to sell it quickly at a
better price.
This graph displays the rise and fall in home prices between
2004 and today. The average sales price of a Portland home is currently
35% higher than it was in 2004, and takes into account the fallout in pricing
between 2007-2012. This is great news for long-term homeowners and
testimony to the rewards of home ownership over the years. An average
priced home of $235,000 in 2004 would be worth over $315,000 today. It’s
hard to save that kind of money
otherwise!
Close-in neighborhoods within North, Northeast, and Southeast Portland continue to be hot zones with houses selling quickly and often with multiple offers. Inner-SE and NE Portland have experienced the greatest share of home sales and price increases.
Southwest and Northwest Portland, Beaverton, Aloha, and Hillsboro are also selling quickly. These areas have held a larger share of the distressed bank-owned and short-sale properties selling at lower prices.
