The latest RMLS Market Action Report is out and posted on our site along with our commentary
/ summation of the numbers and comments on what we’re seeing in the market and how that is represented in the numbers. Additionally we blogged a while back about which homes are selling and why, a blurb about that in this month’s commentary as well as a link to an eye opening PDF; head over and take a look!
Boy have we been busy…The last RMLS market action report came out about a week ago and
I’m just now able to sit down and get my commentary and this blog entry in and the latest June 2009 RMLS Market Action Report shows why; the market is moving folks! We’re seeing lots of activity, lots of buyers, FHA in just about every transaction these days, seller paid closing costs in most as well and of course that first time home buyer tax credit. Things are a rollin’ however we are concerned that come the end of November we could see things come to a screeching halt. Check out the RMLS market action report and our commentary on it to find out why.
The May 2009 RMLS Market Action Report was released a few days ago and being the busy season with a lot of transactions in 
escrow I just didn’t have the time to do my write up on it until today, but it’s there now! Indicators are basically what we’ve come to expect in this market, significant depreciation, -13% overall since this time last year, and high inventory though we did manage to shave 4/5′s of a month off that from 11 down to 10.2 months. Read our write up on the Portland Real Estate Market and from that page you can also download the full report.
RMLS released the April 2009 Market Action Report yesterday, a day early – strange. Anywho, it’s out and our commentary 
on the numbers is available in the usual spot on our website under the RMLS Portland Market Action Report link. The numbers as they have been recently are mixed, some good, some not so good. Also, RMLS changed the report files once again, instead of having individual counties plus an all counties version as they recently changed to, they apparently changed it again and decided to discontinue the all counties report so only by county/area reports are available now. As such we will have the Portland & Vancouver market reports available on our site. Give it a read and download the report here.
The RMLS Market Action Report is out for February 2009 and my commentary on the numbers is up on our site now. 
If you’re just interested in a quick “whats up in the market” take a look at my commentary as it’s just the relevant Portland market information, if you have some time to kill and want to read all 52 pages of the multi-county report feel free to do so, you can download it from the same place and have at it.
The RMLS Market Action Report for January 2009 and year end county numbers is out, well actually a few days ago…ok, a week…
I was late what can I say? You know what I can say? Business is POPPIN’ and today was the first chance I’ve had to breathe in the last week to get to doing my monthly write up on the report.
RMLS released the latest RMLS market action report for December 2008 yesterday 
and I just posted my take/summation (call it what you will) on our website. Take a peak at it as of course the report is overall negative, sales down, appreciation down etc but there are some positive notes as well primarily in that inventory actually fell last month. Also with the coming inaguration of Obama I think there’s a decent chance to see a market uptick in the numbers for the February report; take a few moments to read my take on it to see why.
RMLS has released the November issue of the Market Action report. The news of course and a
s expected is not good, we’re continuing to decline with a current inventory of 15 months and closed sales of only 1,041 which is the lowest we’ve seen since 1993! Listings are down as well which is good however the closed and pending sales are down by a higher percentage and we need to see that trend reverse for a Portland real estate market recovery to happen. Take a look at my comments on the market action report here and you can also download the full report to review on your own from that same page.
Right around the middle of each month RMLS sends out their “Market Action Report” for the previous month; Octobers market action report just came out today. Each month I do a write up on it, sort of summarizing it and post it on our website. The report and my summation of the report are both now posted.
