Have you seen the latest real estate news from Portland Oregon?  The headlines
talked about the continued downtrend in the national market and that it is NOT appearing in Portland Oregon housing market!
 
It said that the real estate slump and downward trend that has been plaguing the nation, missed Portland and the Portland, Oregon real estate market continues to be active, strong and the buyers and sellers are still buying and selling homes.

Why?   Portland, Oregon real estate market continues to be the best buy and best kept secret on the entire west coast!  The greater western Washington market has not missed a beat either.  However, the average priced home in western Washington is almost double of the average priced home in Portland, Oregon.  The average priced home in California, even with their recent drops, is still approximately 2.5 times what it is in Portland Oregon.
 
The average buyer can still afford and buy a great home in great locations, near parks,water,libraries, shopping and mass transportation in Portland Oregon for a great price!
