How's the Portland RE market doing?

[EastSider]

Inventory in Portland has gone up 72% compared to same time last year -- check out

Anyone know if sellers are getting desperate over there OR a 72% increase isn't good enough for a slowdown?

BTW, inventory in the Seattle area is only up 44%

You can get a bungalow in Portland for $150-$200k less than the equivalent in Ballard -- and that's now. PDX might be pretty tempting if prices drop 10-20%.

My sister was threatening to buy in Portland a few months ago, so I started banging around trying to find some hard data. I couldn't find much.

There is one blog:
, which has a smidgen of bubble coverage, but not much.

I couldn't even find any MLS data. If anyone can show me where to find MLS archives for Portland, that would be cool.

Vancouver: There is no there there.

PDX inventory is actually up 87%!
Predictions for the coming year show a small price decline in the next year: http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/09/real_es ... /index.htm
