Seller’s Market

The low inventory numbers are holding across the board which is making Portland a seller’s market again. Now at the Summer mid-point the number of new listings is starting to wane while buyer activity remains strong. This should keep inventories low into the Fall.

This localized home inventory report helps give context to the metro statistics that often make headlines. Real estate is a local affair and this report shows which parts of town and which types of property are selling and which ones are sitting. Inventory is figured in months with 6 months being balanced, less than 6 months favoring sellers and more than 6 months favoring buyers. I use current active listings and 6 months of sold data from the RMLS to create this report.
