Highlights:

  • CapRates reported are still in the mid-high 5% compared to 2015 in the high 5% range. 
  • $/unit Aug 16 YTD is a 7.9% increase over Aug 15 YTD.
  • $/SqFt Aug 16 YTD  is a 5.6% increase over Aug 15 YTD.
  • Aug  2016 YTD sales = $1283M vs. Aug 2015 YTD sales of $1423M

We’re still behind 2015 YTD sales numbers.  However, Aug 16 was greater than Aug 15 for monthly sales.

There is a noticeable slow-down in SFR sales in Portland.  We anticipate that multi-units will reflect this with pricing and rent pressure moderating compared to 2015.

Interest rates may show a slight increase by EOY.  However, this is the Fed giving itself more wiggle-room than an over-heated economy.

To download the individual sales report, right-click the link below and “Save As”:

<<<Portland_Apr16vsApr15_AptSales>>>

Highlights:

  • CapRates reported are still in the mid-high 5% compared to 2015 in the low 6% range. 
  • $/unit April 16 YTD is a 15.2% increase over April 15 YTD.

Rent/Tenant environment – Class A units in close-in locations (especially new construction) are starting to give concessions.   We continuously monitor, but be aware that rent growth may be flattening.

Apartment pricing –  This will be driven by income growth and interest rates.  Based on 2015YTD vs. 2016 YTD we are not seeing the same rate of increase as 2015 vs. 2014.

City of Portland Landlord Training – This is a regular training and very useful, especially with landlord law.   We are in process of getting PDFs of the May 16 presentation and will post these and send out a blog notice with a link.  If you’d like an earlier copy, eMail me.

YOUR PROPERTY – If you’d like a further breakdown on how in-demand your neighborhood is call.  Be aware of the current value of your apartment with unsolicited offers.  We offer valuations that include expense analysis with rent and sales comparables to back up any pricing.

Oct 2015 Apt Sales Portland-Metro

3 December 2015
Leave a Comment

For detail on individual sales, please download the PDF at:

<<<Oct15vsOct14Sales>>>

(Right-click link and Save As)

Oct 2015 had $210M in sales in the 4 (OR – Washington, Clackamas and Multnomah and WA – Clark) counties.  This is a 8.4% decrease from Oct 2014 ($230M).

It is official, in terms of total sales dollars, 2015 is highest year ever.  Oct 15 YTD at $2B has easily surpassed 2014 FY sales of $1.6B

Oct 2015 had $210M in total sales.  Highlights:

  • CapRates reported are still in the mid 5% compared to 2014 in the low 6% range. 

  • $/sqft and $/unit. $/unit Oct 15 YTD is a 13% increase over Oct 14 YTD. $/SqFt Oct 15 YTD  is a 17% increase over Oct 14 YTD.

  • Projected FY 2015 sales = $2.35B vs. 2014 sales of $1.6B (previous best ever year)

Interest rate environment – Probabilities favor an increase by the Fed by EOY.  Then again, stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

Portland backlash – City of Portland enacted a 90-day notice rule for rent increases >5%.

YOUR PROPERTY – If you’d like a further breakdown on how in-demand your neighborhood is call.  Be aware of the current value of your apartment with unsolicited offers.  We offer valuations that include expense analysis with rent and sales comparables to back up any pricing.
