Beaverton: October 2012

Beaverton Stats & Review

Overall the Beaverton market is a neutral real estate market. On the buyer's side interest rates are at all time lows and the average market time is also very low at 98 days. On the seller's side overall inventory is at a 5.5 year low and average sales price percent change is up significantly 14.5%. When the year to year price comparison is up and the average sales price percent change is up significantly from last year at this time I have to give it a current price trend rating of Appreciating.

Beaverton's Average Sales Price Percent Change is 2.4% ending October 2012 compared to Beaverton's Average Sales Price Percent Change ending October 2011 was -12.1% or an increase of 14.5% comparatively.

Average Sales Price Percent Change is a good conservative indicator for determining if a market is appreciating or depreciating. *This is the 12 month rolling average for sales price which takes the rolling average sales price over her last twelve months (11/1/11- 10/31/12) and compares it to the rolling average sales price of the previous 12 months (11/1/10-10/31/11).

City of Portland and All the Surrounding Suburbs Current Real Estate Climate:

The current Rolling Price Appreciation/Depreciation percent change is +2.3%, which is a 8.7% increase from -6.4% ending October 2011 . The current year to year comparison average price change from (October 2011- October 2012) prices are up 10%. With the Rolling Average Price increasing 8.7%, Average and Median Sales Price both substantially higher from last year, supply levels very low at 3.8 months, demand up significantly, marketing time down to 102 days (136 days ending October 2011) I have to give it an overall market rating of Appreciating prices. To 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 (11/1/11- 10/31/12) and compares it to the rolling average sales price of the previous 12 months (11/1/10-10/31/11). In this case the rolling average over the last twelve months is $271,500 and the rolling average of the previous 12 months was $265,300. You take the rolling average price difference and divide it by previous 12 month rolling average and you get +2.3%.
