Typical deal size in Multnomah County sits around $610,000. An average of $1,814,000 against that median means a handful of large purchases are skewing the mean. Use the median when you price, or you will aim high and lose the middle of the market.
Investors bought 1,607 properties here over 12 months, up roughly 25% from about 1,290 a year earlier. Rising volume usually means capital returning to the market rather than leaving it.
The dominant play is buy & hold, at 45.5% of tracked activity. Buy-and-hold capital prices for yield rather than resale margin, so rent support matters more to these buyers than after-repair comps.
Typical construction year on investor-owned property is 2004. Only about 37.0% predates 1980, so the stock skews newer and rehab scopes tend to be lighter.
