Depending on the mortgage company, closing can be up to $10,000 and any concessions (repairs etal) can be up to $5,000 with older homes. The housing tracker website says that the appreciation hasn't happened much in Porland, and inventory is up 52% since 12 months ago! I just wonder with that $5,000-$15,000 difference can do that.

With less 95% and 100% loan-to-value mortgages than in past years, I don't believe they are artificially rising the tide in the Portland area. JJ -

Just one of the games that RMLS plays. Another is the rolling 12-month vs. last 12-months statistical smoothing. There is a different between average (Arithmetic mean) and Median.

aka..I’ll give you $10,000 more in price, in exchange for $10,000 credit back towards closing costs.
