    I think you mentioned you would have an update on the Portland condo market soon. Looking forward to it, as I’m really curious to see what’s happening in that sub-market.

    Keep up the good work. I like your balanced, no-spin approach to assessing the market. I get whiplash reading on one hand the happy-talk from other realtors in the local media and on the other the doom-and-gloom rants of the bubble blogs.

    Eric

    Eric,

    Yes, I am working on the condo update this weekend. Look for it Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for the compliment as well.
