The latest market report for the Portland Real Estate market shows a steady level of continued price reductions on homes for sale around the Portland Metro area.

We have several resources on our site for buyers but nothing really detailed about lending, credit issues, points etc until now.

After a month of declining rates, mortgage rates experienced a slight increase according to Freddie Mac’s weekly survey. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.68% during the week ending Jan. 31, up from last week’s 5.48%. The mortgage averaged 6.34% a year ago. The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.17%, up from 4.95%. The mortgage averaged 6.06% a year ago.
