There are no areas of Portland or the suburbs that are experiencing double-digit appreciation. This is not a surprise, really, considering the real estate market has cooled from very hot status.

9.8% - Portland 9.7% - Gresham, Troutdale 9.5% - Hillsboro, Forest Grove 8.8% - North Portland 6.7% - Northeast Portland 5.1% - Oregon City, Canby 4.6% - Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, Wilsonville 3.7% - Lake Oswego, West Linn 3.6% - Beaverton, Aloha 2.8% - West Portland 1.8% - Northwest Washington County 1.6% - Milwaukie, Clackamas, Happy Valley, Damascus
Per the RMLS, appreciation percents are based upon a comparison of average price for the last 12 months with the 12 months before. ownaportlandhome.blogspot.com |
