Dave’s Commentary on the Portland Real Estate Market:

In April 2006, the Portland real estate prices appreciated by an average of 16.8% over March 2005. Given our current rate of sales, our inventory will last for only 2.4 months. Though the market still appears to be tight, there’s some sign of the market entering a stablization phase. The number of closed and pending sales decreased 9.1% and 11.7% respectively as compared to the April 2005 data. Having said that, we do need to analyze this information carefully. 2005 was an exceptional year by any means in the history of our real estate market. Our April data is still phenonmenal by any standard.

Homes under the $500,000 mark are still selling super fast across the Portland Metro area. Much of the slower sign is coming from exclusive homes in the $650,000 and above range. As mortgage interest rates rise, more home shoppers will also be more inclined to find homes as soon as possible. The outlook of our real estate market in Portland remains strong.

Commentary on the Portland Real Estate Market:

In March 2006, the Portland real estate prices appreciated by an average of 16.4% over March 2005. Given our current rate of sales, our inventory will last for only 2 months. This, as compared to the Feb 2006 data of 2.7 months, our market appears to be still tight.

Given the number of new constructions in the market, the number of closed sales, as compared to the same period in 2005, decreased 6.7% while the number of new listings increased just a slight 0.8%. Though there seems to be some indication of relief in rising housing prices, the summer months ahead of us will bring in more buyers fighting for homes. As mortgage interest rates rise, more home shoppers will also be more inclined to find homes as soon as possible. The outlook of our real estate market in Portland remains strong.

Commentary on the Portland Real Estate Market:

In February 2006, the Portland real estate sales numbers are up again. The number of closed sales, as compared to the same period in 2005, increased 2.2%. At the same time, the number of listings (homes available for sale) dropped 6.9%. Our housing inventory is getting tighter by the day. Home owners are not accepting any kind of “low ball” offer. This is indicated by the significant decrease in the number of accepted offered (an 11.3% drop in accepted offers).

At the current rate of supply and demand, our inventory will last only 2.7 months. This is a very low number as we’re just entering into our high season. The average time to market a home has also shrinked by 19%. Literally, homes are “flying off the listings”.

In February 2006, the Portland market appreciation averages to be 16%. From all the indication of both the January and February data, we can conclude that our real estate market is likely to ride as high as 2005, if not higher. If you’re thinking of buying a home, get in the market quickly before it’s priced out of reach.

Commentary on the Portland Real Estate Market:

2006 opens the Portland real estate season with a whopping 16.8% average appreciation as compared to the same month last year. The median sale price increased by 18.9%. These figures are indicative of another year of high growth in the Portland area. And, January is typically a slower month for real estate activities. To hit such high appreciation rate, our real estate market is absolutely phenomenal.

County wise, the highest growth came from both the Clackamas and the Washington counties. The growth rates are 16.5% and 16.7% respectively. Given the faster economic growth and the high number of companies located in these two counties, this growth rate is to be expected.

At the end of January 2006, there were over 5,500 active residential listings on the market pushing the inventory ratio to a higher 3.2 months. As compared to the previous months of inventory on hand, this appears to be a bit higher. Having said that, given that January is typically a slower month for real estate, this number should decrease dramatically over the next couple of months to create another tight market.

Our January market signals a good sign for both home owners and investors alike. There’s been so much talk in the last few months about a real estate bubble. Our January result continues to show a strong sign of growth.

Dave’s Commentary on the Portland Real Estate Market:

2005 had been a phenomenal year for real estate in Oregon. As compared to the last quarter in 2004, real estate in the Portland area grew with 7.9% more new listings and 4.4% more closed sales.

Overall, appreciation of median and average home prices went up 15% for the year of 2005. The average sale price jumped from $246,000 to $282,900.

Condo prices also saw an unprecedented increase last year. Average sales prices of condo units increased by 27.2% for 2005. This is a huge jump by any standard. Just 3 years ago, condo price increases were in the negative zone.

Many people are concerned about the real estate bubble, particularly when we are seeing signs of decrease or at the least, stablizing in markets like Nevada, California and Arizona. In general, real estate market moves in a ten year cycle. Our Portland market is in our third year of boom. By theory, we should continue to enjoy healthy growth. However, a word of caution: real estate is also highly dependent upon population growth, employment rate, and expansion of the business sectors. As long as these indicators stay as healthy as they’ve been in the last 24 months, the Portland real estate market should grow steadily.
