The big jump in $/unit is 3 large sales = 69% of ttal gross sales.

Biggest item is the effect of the newest OR rent control law passed by the Legislature.  City of Portland rules are also giving pause to owners.  Interest rates (stable to flat) and strength of the rental market in Portland (especially for new construction) are the biggest threats/motivators.

I should have a 2013-2018 Portland Apartment Market History by mid-Apr 19.  If you like numbers, you’ll find this recap of the market for the past 5 years of interest.  You can eMail me for a copy also.
