Case-Shiller Portland Monthly Home Price Index Inches Up for First Time in 11 Months.

The new Case-Shiller data for April 2011 press release is HERE. From the national release:

...[CS Indices] show a monthly increase in prices for the 10- and 20-City Composites for the first time in eight months. The 10- and 20-City Composites were up 0.8% and 0.7%, respectively, in April versus March. Both indices are lower than a year ago; the 10-City Composite fell 3.1% and the 20-City Composite is down 4.0% from April 2010 levels. Six of the 20 MSAs showed new index lows in April – Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, Miami and Tampa.Thirteen of the cities and both composites posted positive monthly changes.

I have pasted below the Portland metro data for the last 13 months (note that the last previous month that the Portland CS index went UP was in June of 2010)
