 The Portland/Beaverton/Hillsboro climate is temperate, showing many characteristics of a Mediterranean climate. The city has mild wet winters, and warm, dry summers. The summer months are the driest period, averaging no more than one inch of rain per month. Summers are very pleasant with abundant sunshine and an average temperature in the 80's. Heat waves with temperatures exceeding 100 °F do occur on occasion. Due to the northern latitude, the total number of hours of daylight in the summer can reach almost 16 hours. Winter low temperatures average around 35 °F, and it is not uncommon to experience minor snowfalls of a couple of inches. Major snowfall occurrences are rare. November through April is the rainy season, and 80% of the total yearly rainfall occurs during these months. The average annual rainfall is approximately 38 inches, with approximately 155 days of measurable precipitation a year. These climatic conditions enable the Tualatin Valley to be one of the most productive and diverse agricultural areas in the nation, as well as a place where you can readily enjoy outdoor recreational activities all year round.

Disclosure Laws >Read the Fine Print
Many states require the seller of a home to fill out a real estate disclosure statement when transferring the title. The disclosure is designed to reveal any material defects in the home to the new owner. When buying a home, take the time to read the fine print of the disclosure form.
Look for a section that asks the seller to indicate the material defects that exist in the home's major systems. Most forms will specify interior and exterior walls, ceilings, roof, insulation, windows, fences, driveway, sidewalks, floors, doors, foundation, and the electrical and plumbing systems. As the buyer you will want to know of defects in any of these areas.
Sellers are required to note the presence of environmental hazards or zoning violations. They must disclose if there are any encroachments or easements, or walls or fences shared with adjoining landowners. Room additions or repairs made without the necessary permits or not in compliance with building codes must be noted. Sellers must disclose citations or lawsuits against the property. If any such conditions appear on the disclosure form, consult with your real estate agent immediately regarding how to proceed with negotiation.
