Is it a good time to buy in Portland?
That’s not really the right question. The right question is: does the math work for you, right now, on the terms available today?
What’s happening right now
Homes are sitting on the market longer than they were. Inventory has grown. For buyers, that means real leverage — on price, on repairs, on closing costs, and on the rate you actually pay. You don’t have to accept the advertised interest rate. For sellers, a longer market means preparation and pricing matter more than they used to.
What we don’t do
We won’t tell you it’s always a good time to buy, and we won’t tell you to panic because rates might change.
The numbers that actually matter
Purchase price is one number. Monthly payment, down payment, loan program, seller concessions, closing costs, and rate structure are the rest of the story.
