The best time of year to sell a house in Multnomah County, OR

The short version: list in May if you want the highest price, and expect January to be the softest month of the year.
Speed follows a slightly different calendar. Homes in Multnomah County, OR have gone under contract fastest in May. That is not always the same month prices peak, because the busiest month usually brings the most competition from other sellers too.
