The real estate market in Portland typically holds to historical seasonal patterns, with buyer activity typically peaking in the spring and gradually slowing through late summer, fall, and into winter.

Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, November 2024 Report
Here in Portland, the real estate market often follows seasonal patterns, and this year, it is showing signs of the typical fall slowdown.

Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, October 2024 Report
Here in Portland, the real estate market often adheres to seasonal patterns. Currently, inventory remains high, and buyer traffic is lukewarm as it typical in the fall.

Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, September 2024 Report
As we kick off the Fall buying season, the Portland real estate market is already in its typical cooldown phase that started in August. If seasonal predictions hold (and they are highly likely to), we’ll be seeing medium buyer traffic and high inventory.

Portland, Oregon Real Estate Market, May 2024 Report
The high level of home buyer traffic we saw early in Spring is beginning to wane a little due to the recent increase in mortgage rates (yet numbers still remain high) while home inventory is starting to climb. These market shifts have stabilized prices, which may begin to decrease in the coming weeks if these […]
