Nike is close by, so potentially lots of running trails around... which are usable when it's not raining. Otherwise, it's a suburb of Portland. It really depends what stage of life you're at - if you're young without a family yet and work in the city, I'd get a high-rise condo in downtown Portland since that's where all the things to do are, but that's just my preference.

I've heard the housing market in the Portland area is dropping like a stone right now though, so do shop around.

Seems like the average housing rate is dropping in the US. Might not just be a Portland thing.

I think it means people are backing off on buying. Whether or not that'll cause prices to drop is another thing.

Yeah, the Bay area always seems to be a little odd-ball.

I can only wait for another two months, then my lease is up, but I don't know if I should continue to rent or buy.

At the end of the day, it's your money.

You can always refinance, I suppose.

??? What are you talking about? I'm renting right now, so nothing to refinance. But I'm hesitant to buy with what's going on in the housing market right now.

I mean you can buy now, and if the rates keep dropping, you refinance to get the lower rates.

I was checking out the prices around the Portland area. The prices really dropped a lot. It is better to buy than rent. Unless you do not have any intention to stay there long-term.
You know the saying:
Either you are paying for your own mortagage or paying for someone else's.
