Beaverton: March 2012

Beaverton Stats & Review

Overall the Beaverton market is still a buyer's market. Interest rates are still very low and the average market time is still ok at 142 days. When the year to year comparison and the average sales price percent change are both decreasing I have to give it a current price trend rating of depreciating.

Beaverton's Average Sales Price Percent Change is -7.7%.

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 (4/1/11- 3/31/12) and compares it to the rolling average sales price of the previous 12 months (4/1/10-3/31/11).

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

The current Rolling Price Appreciation/Depreciation percent change is -5.1%. The current year to year comparison is
-3.3%. Since these two are down I will have to give the monthly current price trend rating for Portland to depreciating. To truly 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 (4/1/11- 3/31/12) and compares it to the rolling average sales price of the previous 12 months (4/1/10-3/31/11). In this case the rolling average over the last twelve months is $262,700 and the rolling average of the previous 12 months was $276,900. You take the rolling average price difference and divide it by previous 12 month rolling average and you get -5.1%
