Our Private Money Loan Team Knows the Portland Metro Housing Market
Portland, Oregon has a lot to offer.
U.S. News and World Report agrees. Each year, the publication releases a list of the top cities to live in in America.
Metro areas are rated according to job market, value, quality of life (crime, college readiness, commute, and other factors), desirability and net migration.
Portland ranks 6th out of 50 cities, thanks to overall cost of living, average annual salary, lifestyle, quality of schools and healthcare. The area’s mild weather, access to recreation and cultural scene continue to attract a growing population.
The local housing market is one of the hottest in the country and shows no sign of cooling. For those looking to invest, the question is where to find the best deals with a much sought after “Portland” address.
Outer neighborhoods offer attractive real estate investment options. Here are five Portland metro areas to consider in your rental or investment property search:
