City of Portland and All the Surrounding Suburbs Stats & Review:

Portland Metropolitan Area Stats & Review

The current Rolling Price Appreciation/Depreciation percent change is -3.8%. The current year to year comparison (May 2011- May 2012) is 6.8%. With the Average and Median Sales Price both up significantly from last year, supply levels at a 5 year low, demand up significantly, marketing time and new listing down I have to give it an overall rating of appreciation. To truly establish trend you need to consider the very longer term such as rolling average sale price percent change from year to year but you also need to consider the immediate trend when compared to last year's same month and in many cases even the previous few months of data.

*This is the 12 month rolling average for sales price which takes the rolling average sales price over her last twelve months (6/1/11- 5/31/12) and compares it to the rolling average sales price of the previous 12 months (6/1/10-5/31/11). In this case the rolling average over the last twelve months is $263,900 and the rolling average of the previous 12 months was $274,200. You take the rolling average price difference and divide it by previous 12 month rolling average and you get -3.8%
