As far as Portland goes, housing has been on a continual rise since we moved here in 2005. We bought our small house in a great neighborhood for about 250,000 in 2006, and now it is difficult to find anything for less than 350,000--though those can be hard to find. It is not as expensive as California, but a nice, moderately sized family home close-in can cost 4-500,000. Further out and in the suburbs it is much cheaper, though the commute can be difficult if you have a 9-5. Gas is cheaper than a lot of the rest of the state and California, and food is cheaper here too. There is no sales tax, so buying items can be cheaper, but property taxes run fairly high and are not fixed as they are in California.
