Hello everybody! Its been a very busy few months here in real-estate-world, so I’ve been remiss in keeping up with my Blog posts etc. I’ve got the latest numbers that just came out a few days ago here for August, and have pasted my report for July below as well : )
Here is your look at the latest data covering the greater Portland area for August according to RMLS. Specific information on Neighborhoods is broken out below.
Overview/Fluctuations ~ Market Data Aug 2021: August is never a robust month in Portland, but things are moving right along. With the exception of some slight shuffling, we saw a pretty “no-drama” month in terms of pricing stability and sales compared to July. Market time remains only slightly different than July, at 23 days compared to July’s 20 days overall. New Listings dropped off for a bit as we’d expect, and Inventory rose slightly to a whopping 1-month’s supply (just a tad under last August).
Rates are hanging right at 3.0% as of today, but there is pressure on rates to move higher.
