In the latest HFO-TV episode, Aaron Kirk Douglas interviews market analyst Carl Whitaker from RealPage Inc. Whitaker shares insights into Portland's real estate market, noting a less pronounced seasonal rent swing and lower retention rates than other West Coast cities. Looking forward to 2023 and 2024, he predicts a slowing rent growth and potential challenges in the tech-driven economy, particularly in chip manufacturing. The episode also touches on the performance of smaller markets, such as Salem, Eugene, and Corvallis, highlighting their steady growth influenced by state-funded schools.

HFO founding partner and broker Greg Frick talks to Andrea Bell, executive director of Oregon Housing & Community Services (OHCS), about the agency's 2023 legislative agenda and the "audacious and appropriate" proposed budget that is the largest request in OHCS history.
