January 2012 Portland Metro Real Estate Update!!!
The “word” for the last several months of market stats has been “improvement”. And, last month was no different!! Closed sales saw a 10.3% increase and pending sales saw a growth of 19.3%.

What do you predict will happen in the real estate market in 2012? It's been a crazy 3 to 4 years in both our local and national real estate markets. If you agree with the statistic that March 2007 was the absolute pinnacle of the real estate frenzy, then we are coming up on 5 years of instability and various levels of distress! I know we definitely started to see some signs in 2007 (and, even earlier) and in 2008 Portland began to experience the adjustment in earnest, albeit slowly!
