Portland Metro Market Action November 2010

When comparing January-November 2010 with the same period in 2009, closed sales increased 0.2%. The average sale price from November 2009 to November 2010 declined only 0.5%. On a month-month basis, prices fell from October by 1.8%, marking the third straight month prices have dipped. Closed sales also slowed from October by 1%.

 

Could these be signs of a leveling out of pricing? Will there be a double dip housing market? Even our country’s best economists cannot answer that fully. Regardless, now is still one of the best times in history to get a great deal on a house with interest rates that are almost guaranteed not to last.

If you or someone you know wants to see some houses–and find out how great of a deal they can get in this economy, please give them my phone number. Smart real estate choices are just a phone call away.

Happy Holidays!
