Portland Oregon Market Report December
December Residential Highlights
Sales activity in the Portland metro area continued to show improvement in closed and pending sales when comparing this December to the same month a year ago. Closed sales experienced a 10.3% increase, while pending sales saw growth of 19.3%. However, there were 11.7% less newly listed residential properties. Month-to-month, closed sales rose 6% (1,521 v. 1,612) when compared to November 2011, pending sales fell 14.4% (1,685 v. 1,443) and new listings dropped 16.1% (2,026 v. 1700). At the month’s rate of sales, it would take approximately 5.3 months to sell the 8,612 active residential listings. Due to the drop of active listings in December, along with the rise in closed sales, low inventory resulted.

Comparing activity from 2010 with that of 2011, closed sales rose 4% and pending sales rose 6%. New listings fell 25.4%. Total sales volume for 2011 was about $5.2 billion, down from $5.3 billion in 2010, and $5.5 billion in 2009.

The Original – A Dinerant
For those of you who love bacon… have you tried it in a milkshake yet?! We accidentally found ourselves at The Original, A Dinerant. We were there specifically for dessert, and there was a maple bacon milkshake on the menu! Well who can pass that up!?! They also had milkshakes with alcohol, which some of us ordered (also with bacon). Admittedly, we did wonder why it was taking so long to get miikshakes. “It’s not like they are back there frying up the bacon.” Oh yes they were! And boy does it make all the difference! Those babies are GOOD!!!
