Let’s go deeper…
Portland housing inventory is growing and is up 2.76% since last month. Demand in the form of Under Contract and Pending Sales is Down 10.9% witihin the Portland Oregon housing market. With interest rates elevated look for the normal segment of the market under $1M to stall a bit because of the higher interest rates.
The Portland Metro Area Luxury Housing Market $1M to $2M will be somewhat impacted.
Over $2M - 57.5% of the sales are Cash so it won’t be felt much there.
IF you are able to Buy right now and shopping under $1M you should have some significant leverage over sellers that have been on market for awhile.
That's it for this week's market update. When it's time to make your next move…I’d love the opportunity to be your real estate broker.
