Property values are influenced by national, regional, and local trends.  Economic cycles, financial liquidity, interest rates are examples of macro-ecomic factors.  On a regional level, net migration, unemployment, and job creation are prime examples of factors that will impact housing affordability and confidence.  The perceived quality of neighborhood amenities, including schools, shops, transportation and other location-specific factors that impact home values. 

In our market research pages you will find regular monthly and quarterly reporting from Standard and Poors, NAR, Keller Research, PMI, Global Insights, Portland State, and others.  We're examining and tracking sales volume, pricing, affordability, foreclosure and short-sales, job cration, migration, value risk, mortgage interest, and other macro and regional trends.

On a micro-level, we track sales, inventory, pricing, and time-on-market trends for each of the major regions and neighborhoods in metro-Portland.  We supplement this with regular and consistent evaluations of the homes that we're visiting daily.

Reports: 

If you want to see the relative strength the micro-level regions/neighborhoods in our metro area, the monthly Total Market Overview report will show you supply and demand data as well as the resulting impact on pricing (per SF and sold/list ratios), days-on-market, and housing inventory.  We report data by price-range within each of the regions.  This is a great tool to help you understand how agressive a buyer or seller you might want or need to be, or as a tool to help you identify the focus areas for your property search.  See TMO reports from previous months.
