Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (Oct 2020) and how Lake Oswego fits in to this picture just below.
Inventory remained at 1.1 months of supply in October. August was 1.3 and July was 1.2. The 1.1 mark is a record low according to RMLS. New Listings, Pending Sales and Appreciation are all up across the board.
Though we have an undeniable shortage of homes available, this is the time of year when Buyers can expect to find reasonable Sellers, and Sellers can expect to find serious Buyers out looking.
Rates are still very good, remaining around 2.875 as of today.
