📉 Real Estate Market Shift in Portland Metro & Vancouver, Camas (2022-2024) 📊
The housing market in Portland Metro & Vancouver, Camas has changed significantly over the past two years! 🔥 Total home sales have dropped by 24%-26%, showing a slowdown likely due to higher mortgage rates & affordability challenges.

🏡 Key Takeaways:
✅ Cash buyers are gaining market share! More homes are being purchased with cash (21% in both regions), giving cash buyers an edge in negotiations. 💰
✅ Fewer conventional loans – down from 70% → 64% in Portland & 66% → 60% in Vancouver. Rising interest rates are making it tougher for buyers to qualify.
✅ FHA loans are increasing, showing that first-time homebuyers are still entering the market despite affordability concerns. 📈

💡 What does this mean?
🔹 Sellers: Be ready to adjust pricing & negotiate with cash buyers.
🔹 Buyers: If you’re using financing, competition is lower, making it a good time to buy!
🔹 Investors: With fewer buyers, rental demand may increase—great for long-term investments!

📊 Despite the slowdown, 74%-76% of the market is still active. While things have shifted, opportunities remain for both buyers & sellers!

The average home in Portland metro costs $685K. A $500K mortgage at 7% costs $3600. 3-4 bedroom home rents for $2700 to $4000. Buying a home still makes sense for many reasons: less competition on the market and making own decisions about decor and features.

I am feeling happy and relieved. I think the buyers got a good deal and can develop this big lot into 2 more properties. I couldn’t do that without my trusted team of lenders, home inspectors, title officers and real estate advisors.
