Oregon Home Price Appreciation Leads Nation
CNN/Money reports that Oregon’s three largest metropolitan real estate markets, Salem, Portland, and Eugene, all easily outperformed national averages for 1-year appreciation gains. In fact, Salem tops the nation with a gaudy 24.7% increase over Q3 of 2005, according to the National Association of Realtors study.
Portland and Eugene ranked 15th and 16th respectively, hovering in the mid-12 percent range. Seattle and Spokane also registered healthy gains for the period.
Across the U.S. home appreciation is down 1.2% over Q3 of 2005. The Northeast really took it in the shorts at -4.8%. The Western U.S. was down about a point. Interestingly, of 148 major metro areas, 102 actually had price gains, while only 45 had decreases.
Detroit, other rust-belt markets and a handful of Florida communities registered 9 and 10 percent losses over 2005.
Below are the 3rd quarter numbers for the top 25 metro markets, including median home price in thousands and appreciation gains, as compiled by the National Association of Realtors.
