A visit to Atwater Place

I was visiting Atwater Place yesterday showing clients the building. While up on the 21st floor and looking out across the Willamette river, I saw snow flurries swirling all around. They were everywhere and it was a very pretty sight. When we returned to the first floor, I noticed that the weather was mostly light rain. .... at that lower elevation.

List prices rebounding across the nation

Prices are rising in Florida: Florida cities have had the largest year-over-year increases in average list prices, according to September real estate data from Realtor.com. Florida cities make up 9 of the top 10 places for highest year-over-year list price spikes, based off of August data of 2.2 million listings in 146 markets.

Why do we care about these Florida cities? Because number twelve on the list is Portland-Vancouver. So outside of Florida and Macon Ga, which placed #5 on the list, the Portland-Vancouver area is rebounding better than most of the rest of the country.

Nationwide, the average list price is $320,325, up 2.36 percent year-over-year. The Portland-Vancouver area average list price is $314,537, up 10.52 percent year-over-year.
