Portland Real Estate Trends Buyers and Sellers Should Know Now

Curious about what’s happening in the Portland housing market this July 2025? Whether you're buying, selling, or watching the market, here’s the latest data—and what it means for your next move in the Portland real estate market.

Inventory is up 32% year over year, giving homebuyers in Portland more options than we've seen in recent summers.

• More selection = less competition
   
• Buyers have room to negotiate
   
• Sellers must price strategically to stand out
   

Home prices rose slightly from June, up 0.45% month-over-month and 2.3% year-over-year. This reflects steady demand and value retention—especially in Portland’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Homes are taking about 7 weeks to sell on average, giving buyers time to compare listings and make more informed offers.

More than 28% of listings had a price reduction before selling—evidence that buyers are being selective and that sellers must stay realistic.

These suburbs continue to attract the most buyer interest:

• Beaverton – top schools + tech employment
   
• Tigard – walkability and new development
   
• Hillsboro – affordability + Intel proximity
   
• Oregon City – charm, space, and value
   

These areas are hotspots for Portland homebuyers in July 2025.

With single-family home prices holding firm, more buyers are turning to condos and townhomes in Portland for affordability, urban access, and lower maintenance.

Updated, move-in-ready homes remain competitive—but homes that need light cosmetic work may offer serious value and negotiation leverage right now.

• Homes are still selling—but you must price right
   
• Professional listing presentation is non-negotiable
   
• If your home didn’t sell this spring, now is the time to relaunch strategically
   

• More listings = more control and better deals
   
• Don’t be afraid to negotiate—especially on homes sitting 30+ days
   
• Lock in a home before interest rates or prices shift upward

What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know Now

Are you watching the Portland housing market this summer? Whether you're preparing to buy, sell, or just staying informed, here’s your in-depth look at what’s happening in the Portland real estate market in June 2025—and what it means for you.

More homes are hitting the market, giving buyers more choices and putting pressure on sellers to price strategically. This means:

• Less competition for buyers
   
• More pricing flexibility
   
• Better opportunities to negotiate and plan
   

Home values are up a steady 2.1% YoY, reflecting healthy, sustainable growth. Prices are stable, and well-presented homes are still selling competitively.

Listings are sitting just a bit longer, giving buyers more time to evaluate options—especially important in a higher-inventory market.

We’re seeing more price reductions than this time last year—a clear sign sellers are aligning expectations with today’s more discerning buyer pool.

Demand remains strong in:

• Beaverton
   
• Tigard
   
• Hillsboro
   
• Oregon City
   

These areas offer space, schools, and affordability—key draws for families and first-time buyers.

With single-family home prices holding firm, buyers are turning to attached housing as an affordable option with convenient locations and lower maintenance.

Updated, move-in ready homes with strong marketing continue to attract competitive offers—don’t overlook their value and long-term ROI.

• Homes are still selling—but strategy is everything
   
• Smart pricing is key to standing out in a growing inventory pool
   
• Professional presentation (staging, photos, video) makes a big difference
   
• If your listing expired, a strategic relaunch can get results
   

• More listings = more negotiating power
   
• Longer days on market = less urgency and better decision-making
