Portland Condo and Home Buyer's Guide

2011 was a great year for buyers.  Prices fell another 8% on average, and interest rates came down to record lows. The combination of these two factors made 2011 a banner year for affordability.  Homes were more affordable in 2011 than any other time since our local MLS board started keeping records for affordability.

Buyers had a lot of power in 2011, and it looks like that power will carry over into 2012.  However, it appears to me that there is a limited window of opportunity for buyers to take advantage of BOTH low prices and low interest rates. Don't miss the boat!
