PDX November 2009 Market Action

Filed Under PDX Market Action · Tagged:  

The November 2009 Market Action Report was released today by the RMLS (Regional Multiple Listing Service).  Here are the highlights:

There is 7.1 months’ inventory* of unsold homes.  That means if no other homes came onto the market, it would take 7.1 months to sell those properties.  In November 2008, Portland had a 15-month inventory of homes for sale.

Closed sales were up 72.4% compared to November 2008 and pending sales rose 19.9%.

The average sale price for November 2009 was down 11.4% compared to November 2008.

The median sale price declined 9.8%.

The average and median sale prices were down compared with October 2009 levels.

Average sale price is down 3.6% ($273,300 versus $283,500).

Median sale price is down 2.5% ($239,000 versus $245,000).

* Inventory in months is calculated by dividing the Active Listings at the end of the month in question by the number of closed sales for that month.
