MLS Area-Code Housing Mix in a Portland Sample

How do property choices appear across the MLS area codes in this supplied export?

Short answer: The supplied file spans MLS area codes 141 through 150. Code 148 is 370 CONDO records out of 420, while code 143 is 229 DETACHD records out of 408. Composition differs, so blended area medians are not like-for-like price comparisons.

Chart

Active records by MLS area code

Chart method: horizontal bar length is the labeled record count; categories are the table rows and the chart uses a zero baseline.

What this can help you do

Code 148's 88.1% condo composition and code 143's 56.1% detached composition show why its $320,000 and $389,900 blended asking-price medians should not be read as like-for-like area prices. Use codes as an initial way to organize a search for acceptable home forms, then confirm the actual map boundary and current listing details.

Method and limits

All property-mix counts include ACT records regardless of whether a numeric price is present, including the six AUCTION entries. The separate numeric medians exclude the six auctions. Area codes are retained literally because no verified current city or neighborhood crosswalk was supplied. Asking-price calculations include the 1,994 positive numeric List Price values and exclude six literal AUCTION values. The export has no sale-price, days-on-market, size, or condition field. Tran is not interpreted as timing. Medians appear only for groups with at least 25 numeric prices; this display threshold is not a statistical guarantee.
