More choices. More time. More opportunity. 🔑
September’s numbers show a Portland market continuing to shift. Inventory climbed to 4.2 months, homes are taking longer to sell, and pending sales were down 17.9% compared with last September.
But here’s what’s interesting: home prices are holding relatively steady. The average sale price is up slightly year-to-date, while the median price is nearly unchanged.
✨ What does this mean for you?
👀 BUYERS: More inventory and less competition can mean greater negotiating power. This may be an opportunity to negotiate on price, repairs, closing costs, or even a rate buydown.
🏠 SELLERS: Strategy matters. With buyers having more options, accurate pricing, preparation, presentation, and strong marketing are more important than ever.
Real estate is hyper-local, and the numbers can look very different from one Portland neighborhood to the next.
