Homes and condos increased in value from an average of 209K during 2010 to 215K average for this year. With just 271 homes listed in January of this year, current inventory is lower than December 2011 levels.
As a geographically small but densely populated area, the city of Portland has all the conveniences of a much larger metropolitan area with a secure, community minded atmosphere. One useful area service, the Portland Metro bus system provides a great way to get around town. This year, Metro bus services are going to get even better with new later rides along the route from Monument Square to the West End.
