In December, Portland's active listing count impressively rose by 3.7% year-over-year, reaching an enticing 2,005 homes. Although this increase in inventory was more modest than the national trend of a 12.1% rise, the city offered a wealth of options for eager buyers. Interestingly, the number of newly listed properties in Portland declined by 20% compared to the previous year, hinting at a fascinating dynamic where existing homes captured the spotlight while fresh listings took a backseat.

Just two years younger than Oaks Park, Council Crest opened in 1907 and was called the Dreamland of the Northwest, probably for its high elevation of "1,200 feet above the city," and excellent views of Portland and five mountain peaks. With attractions designed by Coney Island's contractor, it boasted a dance hall, Ferris wheel, roller coaster, and water log ride.
