Resources for Market Stats & Analysis
A Bird's Eye View of Portland
This is not for everyone, but at the start of the year it seems fairly common and natural to look back and assess how we’ve fared, to help us determine how we’d like to proceed in the new year. With real estate being so specific to location, it’s critical to look at local data and analysis, but we are also reliant on financing that is impacted by national and global factors. As we read articles and reports throughout the year, we continually check the “big picture” against what we’re experiencing with buyers, sellers, and investors here in Portland, Oregon.
This is a quick set of resources for homeowners wanting to look a bit closer at data and analysis, for investors wanting to evaluate their positions and their current return on equity, for buyers and sellers contemplating a move in 2012, or for the general public looking for insight into our current real estate market. We’ve assembled a balanced reading list that will help you find your place in today’s real estate market. We wouldn’t call it required reading for anyone owning real estate, but for those who like to learn more, it is the abridged “table of contents” to our market analysis reading.
