The 15% increase in average sale price ($282,900 v. $246,000) and the 15% appreciation of median sale price ($237,500 v. $204,500) may also account for the increase. |

 At year’s end 2004, the Portland metro area observed 8.3% more accepted offers than it had in 2003 Closed Sales also increased 6.6% . However, 2004 realized a small decline in new listings, which were down 2.9% from 2003. 2004 was a landmark year for the Portland metro area due to the fact that real estate sales that closed in the Portland metro area generated $8.1 billion. Compared to 2003’s $6.9 billion that is a sizeable increase of 17%. The 10.6% rise in average sale price ($246,00 v. $222,500) may account for a portion of the net increase. Furthermore, the telltale 9.4% appreciation of median sale price ($204,500 v. 187,000) may also account for the rise in total volume. |

At 2003 year’s end, the Portland metro area had generated 2.2% more new listings than it had in 2002. The only year to have generated more new listings was 1998. No earlier record matched the area’s 2003 performance for generating pending sales (up 10.2% from 2002) and closed sales (up 12.0% from 2002). Sales that closed in 2003 generated a dollar volume of $6.9 billion. Contrast that with the $5.8 billion generated last year and you’ll witness the increase of 19.0%. The jump in closed sales can account for part of that increase, but so can the 5.8% rise in average sale price ($222,500 v. $210,300) and the 5.1% appreciation of median sale price ($185,000 v. $176,500). |

 In 2002 new listings rose 1.9%, regaining all of the ground lost in 2001. Other categories pioneered new territory. Closed sales are higher than ever, and, compared to 2001 alone, increased by 3.2%. Pending sales showed the same trend, increasing by 2.2%. All of that closing activity resulted in $5.8 billion of residential real estate activity, an increase of 6.9% over last year’s total of $5.4 billion. Aiding the increase in dollar volume was the increase in the area’s average and median sales prices. Average price for the twelve months of 2002 climbed by 4.8% compared to 2001. Median price climbed 4.1% during the same period. |

 The year 2001 saw $5.40 billion in residential real estate sales for the Portland metro area, up $500 million from the volume for 2000. Strong growth in the number of closed sales made 2001 a record year. The 26,845 reported sales represent growth of 8.9% from 2000 and more sales than any previous year. Pending sales grew by a similar margin, up 9.1%. New listings, however, fell 1.6%. The number of new listings entered into RMLS™ (45,298), has not been so low since 1996. Comparing 2001 to 2000, average sales price appreciated 1.2% to $201,000—the first time it has grown past $200,000. Median sales price has appreciated 2.3%, to $169,900. |

 Approximately $4.90 billion in residential real estate sales occurred in 2000, up about $100 million from the previous year.

In other measures of market activity, 2000 was very similar to 1999. There were 2.1% fewer new listings in 2000 than in 1999 and 1.2% fewer accepted offers.
