Here is your breakdown from the previous month/May for Portland and surrounding areas including LO broken out at the bottom. ***Be sure to check out the Neighborhood Report which categorizes down into smaller pieces.
June took a nap on the activity front with decreased New Listings, Pending Listings and Closed Sales. That was not my *personal* experience, Ha! But those are the June overall Portland area numbers. At the same time, more houses are going on the market now as we can see from Inventory rising, and that may be owing to the fact that we see prices rising in most of the metro giving homeowners decent returns on their investments, with West Portland faring better than N & NE Portland. As I mentioned last month, I am anticipating a busier than usual late summer season.
