Demand is there and inventory is very very low which is causing a frenzy around new well priced real estate listings in Portland, Oregon. While this can be a little frustrating for buyers it creates an environment that drives appreciation. I feel very positive that this year we will see appreciation and an increase in unit sales to a level significantly above the previous three years in Inner SE and NE Portland.

The market continues to be very tight with a limited number of good houses available in most neighborhoods. This presents a great opportunity to homeowners who are considering selling and can take advantage of the high # of buyers out there and relatively low # of homes to compete with. If you or anybody you know are considering selling and think you see a good match on the list below please contact us today.
