If you’re thinking about selling your home, it's important to have a good understanding of what’s going on in the Portland market. Last month saw a continuation of low inventory levels in what is traditionally a time when more homes begin to come to market.  There are many factors contributing to this downward trend.  Many of the sellers who would historically be looking to downsize or trade up are not seeing any viable replacements.  It's likely that these folks are locked into a sub 3% mortgage product and are not eager to take on additional debt at nearly double the mortgage rate they currently have.   This may explain inventory level remaining at 2.0 months of supply nearly the same level as May. This means most homes are being absorbed quickly. New listings & closed sales were up while pending sales were down slightly month over month.   Days on market has increased to 33 up from 22 days in May.  

Knowing the most important data such as the average sales price, the number of homes sold, and days on market will better prepare you to sell your home.
