Attached is a list of individual Portland-area sales of apartment complexes greater than $450,000 in June 2015.

Included are $/unit, $/sqft , unit count, year built and Cap Rate (as reported) and a comparison to June 2014 averages.

2015 is shaping up to be the reverse of 2009.  In 2009, there were no buyers, now in 2015 the sellers have become scarce. In 2009, contrarians (buyers) in most cases have probably doubled their money if they sold today.  Will 2015 reward today’s sellers with a long-term peak in pricing?  While we don’t anticipate the cataclysm that was 2009, large owners are selling and locking in some very nice gains and atoning for buying at above-market prices prior.

Well, June 2015 would’ve been a good year not that long ago with $354M in sales in the 4-county area.  This is a 80% increase over June 2014.  Total 2015 sales project to be $2B vs. June 2014 sales of $1.5B

June 15 had a huge increase in sales over June 14. June 15 had 20 sales for a $60M total vs 12 sales in June 14 for a $15.6M total.  YTD shows about a 86% increase over 2014 YTD sales in terms of dollar volume.  June 15 had SEVEN large (>100 units) sales and June 14 had THREE large sales.

Again, a lot of the pricing and volume is being led by large sales.  However, <100 unit complexes are achieving record pricing in $/sqft and $/unit – Especially well-located properties.
