The Portland apartment market was one of the nation’s apartment performance leaders just a few years ago. Even though a large portion of rent payments were collected in April and May, pricing on newly-executed leases is losing more momentum than is typical in other markets around the nation. The impact of COVID-19 has essentially halted the overall economy, and the state looks like it will be one of the last to lift stay-at-home orders.
