The Portland-area housing market cooled off in the latter months of 2017.

Sales in December were down 10.3 percent compared with the year prior, according to the Regional Multiple Listing Service, and homes spent nearly a week longer on the market on average than a year before.

That’s at least in part because the selection of homes for sale remains thin. Houses continue to sell at about the same rate they’re listed.

Using data from the Regional Multiple Listing Service, we compared how many homes were on the market at the end of December with the number sold during the three months prior to determine the 15 most in-demand neighborhoods this winter.

The fourth quarter brought continued strong activity in Portland’s suburbs, where there's far more demand than inventory.
