Here is your look at the latest numbers as released by RMLS for the overall Portland area and how Lake Oswego fits in just below.
Overview/Fluctuations ~ Market Data May 2021:
The stats show New Listings dropped a bit (2.3%) in May from April, and/but Accepted Offers rose at the same time by 8%.
Just when we think record lows in Inventory can’t get any lower, they do. May took us down to 0.7 months of available housing.
Rates are still attractive hovering around 3.125%. Best to get out and get active if you are planning to, given that the Fed indicated last week that they’d be raising rates sooner than previously expected.
