Portland Monthly is cautiously optimistic about Portland's slow-simmering real estate market. But 2013 saw a surge of good news. Home buying is up—way up.
Almost half of Portland's neighborhoods have returned to the median home prices they enjoyed five years ago. In many places, crime is down. Rosy outlooks abound. Indeed, a whopping 73 percent of people who took Portland Monthly's reader survey think it’s a good time to buy—and to sell—a home.
In light of this citywide burst of confidence, Portland Monthly is highlighting five Portland hoods that illustrate the promise of a new era in real estate.
