Here are MLS stats for the First Quarter of 2007 vs. the First Quarter of 2008 in Lake Oswego (ML 147), Tigard (ML 151), and SW Portland (ML 148). This information does not include condos, townhouses or attached homes but only single-family residential data. 

There were some dips in some spots and some increases in others.  It will be interesting to see what the differences will be in the 2nd Quarter of 2008.  I will be reporting on that quarter as soon as the data is available.
