Portland-area homebuyers, on average, make higher down payments

"People who bought homes in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties last year paid more than the national average to get into their new houses and condos, according to a new report. At the same time, roughly 10 percent or more of local buyers made down payments of 3 percent or less."
