As we move into April 2026, the Portland housing market is gaining momentum as more buyers and sellers enter the market. Listing activity has increased, open house traffic is stronger, and well-priced homes are continuing to move quickly.

April is often when the market becomes more competitive. Sellers benefit from increased buyer demand, while buyers who stay prepared and move decisively can still find good opportunities before inventory peaks later in spring.

Active listings continue to rise across Portland as more homeowners prepare for the spring market. While supply is increasing, inventory is still below what we typically see at the height of May and June.

Buyer activity remains strong, especially for move-in-ready homes in desirable neighborhoods. Open houses are seeing more traffic, and attractive homes are often receiving offers within the first one to two weeks.

Buyers are still very price-conscious. Homes that are overpriced are sitting longer and seeing price reductions, while homes priced correctly are generating strong showing activity.

• 🏡 Buyers: Competition is stronger than it was in March, but homes sitting 30+ days may still offer room for negotiation.
• 📉 Sellers: Homes that show well and are priced strategically are attracting the most attention.
• ⏳ Timing Matters: Listing before late spring inventory peaks can still give sellers an advantage.

• Median Home Price: Mid-to-high $540Ks, slightly up from March
• Average Price per Sq Ft: Mid $300s, depending on neighborhood
• Average Days on Market: Approximately 35–50 days

The market is becoming more active, but it remains balanced. Buyers are willing to pay for homes that are updated, move-in ready, and priced correctly. Presentation and pricing remain the biggest factors in determining how quickly a home sells.

Walkable neighborhoods like Alberta, Sellwood, Richmond, and Mississippi continue to see steady demand. Updated homes with outdoor space are performing especially well.

Families continue to seek larger homes, home offices, and good schools. Buyers are active now to avoid increased competition later in spring.

Condos and townhomes remain attractive to first-time buyers and downsizers. Buyers continue to focus on HOA strength, monthly dues, and overall affordability.

• Strategic pricing remains critical
• Strong presentation helps generate more online views and showings
• April can still be an ideal time to list before peak inventory arrives

• Homes sitting 30–60+ days may offer negotiating opportunities
• Getting fully pre-approved helps strengthen offers
• Acting early can help avoid heavier competition later in spring

Spring Activity Is Building — Strategy Matters More Than Ever

As we move into March 2026, the Portland housing market is transitioning from early-year momentum into the start of the spring season. Buyer activity has increased noticeably, new listings are coming online weekly, and homes that are well-priced are moving quickly.

March is often the inflection point. Sellers who list early can still benefit from manageable competition, while buyers who act now may avoid bidding pressure that typically builds later in spring.

Inventory:
Active listings are increasing compared to January and February, but supply remains moderate. We have not yet reached peak spring levels.

Buyer Activity:
Showings and open house traffic are stronger than February, particularly for homes that are move-in-ready and priced accurately.

Price Sensitivity:
Buyers remain disciplined. Overpriced homes are seeing reductions within 2–3 weeks, while properly positioned properties are generating solid interest.

🏡 Buyers: Competition is increasing, but negotiation opportunities still exist — especially on homes sitting 30+ days.

📉 Sellers: Early spring exposure combined with strong presentation can generate faster results.

⏳ Timing Matters: Acting before late-April inventory peaks can provide an advantage.

Median Home Price: Mid-to-high $530Ks, stable compared to February

Average Price per Sq Ft: Low-to-mid $300s, neighborhood dependent

Average Days on Market: Approximately 45–60 days

The market remains balanced but is gaining energy. Well-prepared homes are selling efficiently. Pricing strategy continues to be the key differentiator.

Move-in-ready homes in walkable neighborhoods like Alberta, Sellwood, and Richmond continue to attract steady demand. Updated properties are outperforming dated inventory.

Buyers seeking space and function are active. Many are entering the market now to avoid peak spring competition.

Affordability continues to drive activity. First-time buyers are re-engaging, especially where homeowner associations are stable and dues are reasonable.

• Strategic pricing from day one remains critical
• Presentation drives online engagement and showing volume
• March listings can still benefit from being early in the cycle

• Homes lingering 30–60+ days may offer leverage
• Acting before peak inventory arrives may reduce competition
• Preparation and financing clarity strengthen negotiating power

I’m Keenan Driscoll, Principal Broker, with over 20 years of experience guiding clients through every stage of the Portland real estate cycle.

I provide:
• Hyper-local market insight
• Strategic pricing and negotiation
• Professional-level marketing

📈 Portland Housing Market Report – February 2026

What Buyers and Sellers Should Know as the Market Gains Momentum

As we move into February 2026, the Portland housing market is clearly reawakening from the winter slowdown. Buyer activity continues to build, sellers are testing the market ahead of spring, and pricing discipline remains the key separator between homes that sell and homes that sit.

February is often a positioning month—buyers are preparing for spring competition, and sellers who list now often benefit from less inventory and more focused attention.

Momentum is building, but selectivity remains.

• Active listings: Inventory remains lower than fall levels but is gradually increasing as sellers prepare for spring. Buyers still have more options than a year ago.
   
• Buyer activity: Showings are increasing steadily, especially for well-priced, move-in-ready homes.
   
• Price reductions: Homes that entered the market overpriced in late 2025 continue to adjust, reinforcing that accuracy matters more than optimism.
   

What this means:

• 🏡 Buyers: February still offers negotiating leverage before spring competition intensifies.
   
• 📉 Sellers: Correct pricing and presentation are critical to capturing early demand.
   
• ⏳ Everyone: Early, strategic decisions often produce the best outcomes.
   

• Median Home Price: Holding steady in the mid-$530Ks, essentially flat year-over-year
   
• Average Price per Sq Ft: Low-$300s, varying by neighborhood, condition, and property type
   
• Average Days on Market: Approximately 50–65 days, reflecting a stable but price-sensitive market
   

Takeaway:
The Portland market remains balanced. Homes that are well-priced and well-presented are selling. Properties that miss on pricing or condition are lingering longer and negotiating more.

Demand remains strongest for move-in-ready homes near walkable amenities, parks, and transit. Neighborhoods such as Alberta, Sellwood, and Richmond continue to outperform when pricing and condition align.

These areas remain attractive for buyers prioritizing:

• Space and functionality
   
• Schools and community feel
   
• Proximity to major employers
   

Many buyers here are acting early to get ahead of the spring rush.

Still the most accessible entry point into the market. Areas like St. Johns, South Waterfront, and Montavilla are seeing renewed interest from first-time buyers and downsizers, especially where HOAs are well-managed and pricing is realistic.

• Pricing correctly from day one is critical.
   
• Presentation matters—staging, decluttering, and strong photography drive online engagement.
   
• Listing in February can reduce competition and attract serious, prepared buyers.
   

• February often provides one of the best negotiating windows of the year.
   
• Homes on the market 45–75+ days may present meaningful opportunities.
   
• Strategic planning now positions you well before spring competition increases.
   

I’m Keenan Driscoll, Principal Broker, with nearly 20 years of experience guiding clients through Portland real estate cycles—hot, cold, and everything in between. I offer:

• Hyper-local market insight
   
• Strategic pricing and negotiation
   
• Professional-grade listing marketing
   
• Access to off-market and upcoming opportunities
   
• A trusted network of lenders, contractors, and vendors
   
• Clear, steady guidance from start to finish
   

Whether you’re planning a 2026 move, watching the market, or simply want clarity on your options, I’m here as a resource.

📈 Portland Housing Market Report – January 2026

What Buyers and Sellers Should Know as the Market Reawakens

As we move into the first full month of 2026, the Portland housing market is transitioning out of its holiday slowdown and into a more active — but still selective — early-year phase. January typically sets the tone for the spring market, and this year is no exception: thoughtful buyers are back, sellers are repositioning, and pricing strategy matters more than ever.

The seasonal reset is underway.

• Active listings: Inventory remains lower than fall levels, but still healthier than this time last year, giving buyers more options than they’ve had in recent winters.
• Buyer activity: Showings are beginning to pick up as buyers return from the holidays and re-engage with serious intent.
• Price reductions: A significant share of listings entered January with adjusted pricing, reflecting a market that continues to reward accuracy over optimism.

What this means:

• 🏡 Buyers: Early January offers strong leverage before spring competition ramps up.
• 📉 Sellers: Homes priced correctly are getting attention; over-priced listings are being skipped.
• ⏳ Everyone: Momentum builds gradually — the first movers often benefit the most.

• Median Home Price: Holding steady around the mid-$530Ks, essentially flat year-over-year
• Average Price per Sq Ft: Low-$300s, varying by submarket and condition
• Average Days on Market: Approximately 55–65 days, reflecting winter selectivity and price sensitivity

Takeaway:
The Portland market remains stable and balanced. Well-presented, well-priced homes are selling. Properties that need updates or miss the mark on pricing are lingering longer and negotiating more.

🏙 Inner Portland (SE, NE, North)
Demand remains strongest for move-in-ready homes near walkable amenities, parks, and transit. Neighborhoods like Alberta, Sellwood, and Richmond continue to outperform when pricing and condition align.

🏡 Popular Suburbs (Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro)
These areas remain attractive for buyers prioritizing:

• Space and functionality
• Schools and community feel
• Proximity to major employers

Early-year buyers are actively positioning themselves ahead of the spring rush.

🏢 Condos & Townhomes
Still the most accessible entry point into the market. Areas such as St. Johns, South Waterfront, and Montavilla are seeing renewed interest, particularly from first-time buyers and downsizers.

For Sellers

• Pricing correctly from day one is critical.
• Presentation matters — staging, decluttering, and strong photography drive online engagement.
• Listing early in the year can reduce competition and attract serious, prepared buyers.

For Buyers

• January and February often provide the best negotiating window of the year.
• Homes on the market 45–75+ days may present meaningful opportunities.
• Strategic planning now positions you well before spring competition increases.

As we head into the final month of 2025, the Portland housing market is shifting into classic winter mode — slower, more deliberate, and still full of opportunities for the right buyers and sellers. Whether you're preparing to list in 2026 or exploring Portland homes for sale, here’s what the latest December Portland real estate data means for you.

Seasonal slowdowns are showing up, but inventory levels remain healthier than the ultra-tight markets of 2021–2023.

• Active listings: Down from November as expected, but still above 2024 levels, giving buyers more choice than they’ve had in years.
   
• Buyer activity: Showings have tapered, but serious buyers are still active, especially those targeting year-end moves.
   
• Price reductions: Nearly 46% of listings saw a price drop this month — a clear signal that well-priced homes are the ones selling.
   

🏡 Buyers: Less competition + more negotiating leverage = great conditions for deal-seekers.
📉 Sellers: Pricing accurately is essential — overpricing will send buyers to your competition.
⏳ Everyone: Decision timelines stretch during the holidays; expect slower but committed activity.

• Median Home Price: ~$538,000 (slightly down from November, essentially flat year-over-year)
   
• Average Price per Sq Ft: ~$312
   
• Average Days on Market: 60 days (winter slowdown + buyer selectivity)
   

The Portland housing market remains stable, not declining. Well-maintained and well-priced properties continue selling efficiently. Homes needing updates or priced too high are sitting longer and seeing more reductions.

Demand remains steady for move-in-ready homes close to restaurants, parks, and transit.
Homes in Alberta, Sellwood, and Richmond continue outperforming the metro average.

These markets stay strong thanks to:

• Larger homes
   
• Top school districts
   
• Tech-sector proximity
   

Many families are targeting these areas before the spring rush.

Still the most affordable entry point into Portland housing.
Hot spots include:

• St. Johns
   
• South Waterfront
   
• Montavilla
  Perfect for first-time buyers wanting low-maintenance living.
   

• Price right from the beginning — December buyers are highly motivated but comparison-driven.
   
• Stage, declutter, and invest in quality visuals to stand out online.
   
• If you list in December, you may face less competition and attract serious buyers avoiding the spring crowds.
   

• Winter is one of the best times of the year to negotiate.
   
• Target properties that have been listed 50–70+ days — many sellers are ready to deal before 2026.
   
• Consider locking in a rate now before early-2026 market shifts.

Real Estate Trends Buyers and Sellers Should Know Now

Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or simply keeping an eye on the market, here’s what’s happening in Portland real estate this November—and what it means for you.

After a busy summer, inventory is tapering off heading into the holidays — but remains higher than in recent years.

• Active listings: Down slightly from October, yet still above 2024 levels, giving buyers more options than they’ve had in years.
   
• Buyer activity: Showing numbers remain solid for fall, suggesting motivated buyers are still in the market.
   
• Price reductions: Roughly half of active listings have seen a price adjustment, showing that realistic pricing is key.
   

What this means:
🏡 Buyers: There’s still selection and negotiating room — patience pays.
📉 Sellers: Competition is up; accurate pricing and standout presentation are critical.
⏳ Everyone: Expect slower decision timelines as buyers take time to compare options.

• Median Home Price: ~$540,000 — relatively flat month-to-month, and just slightly above last year.
   
• Average Price per Sq Ft: ~$313, down marginally from 2024’s ~$316.
   
• Average Days on Market: Around 56 days, up from earlier in the year.
   

Takeaway: Prices are stabilizing, not spiking. Homes in top condition and priced right continue to sell efficiently, while others linger longer.

• Suburbs like Beaverton, Tigard, and Hillsboro continue to attract buyers seeking space, schools, and amenities.
   
• Inner Portland neighborhoods remain resilient, with well-kept homes selling faster than the metro average.
   
• Condos and townhomes stay popular with buyers prioritizing affordability and low-maintenance living — especially in St. Johns, South Waterfront, and Montavilla.
   

• Price realistically from day one — avoid “testing the market.”
   
• Stage, declutter, and invest in pro photography to stand out.
   
• Expect longer market times unless your property is priced and presented perfectly.
   
• The earlier you list before the holidays, the more active buyers you’ll reach.
   

• Use current inventory to negotiate confidently.
   
• Target listings sitting 40–60+ days — sellers are often more flexible now.
   
• Consider locking in before potential rate or demand changes in early 2026.

Whether you're planning a move or just keeping an eye on the market, here’s what’s happening in Portland real estate this October—and what it means for you.

After a sharp rise through summer, active listings are now up 28% year-over-year—slightly down from September’s 32% growth, but still offering buyers more selection than they’ve seen in years.

• 🏡 Buyers: Still have options, but choice may tighten going into the holidays
   
• 📉 Sellers: Need to stay sharp on price and standout presentation
   
• ⏳ Less urgency = longer decision timelines for buyers
   

Prices dipped another 0.5% from September and are up just 1.2% year-over-year—showing signs of flattening.

• Suburbs are softening slightly
   
• Inner Portland remains more stable
   
• Well-priced homes still move quickly
   

Time on market has stretched further, averaging nearly two full months. What this means:

• ⌛ Buyers can take their time—but good homes still sell fast
   
• 🛠️ Sellers should focus on staging, curb appeal, and pro photography
   

Now, 36% of homes sold in September had a price cut before going pending (up from 35% in August). This reinforces:

• ⚠️ Overpricing = reduced buyer interest
   
• 💡 Strategic pricing = faster and more competitive offers
   

These areas are holding strong buyer interest:

• Beaverton – Strong schools, parks, and access
   
• Tigard – Urban-suburban blend, walkable town center
   
• Hillsboro – Intel and tech-fueled demand
   
• Milwaukie – Affordable charm and MAX access
   
• Oregon City – Historic homes and space to grow
   

Affordability concerns continue driving buyers to attached housing in:

• Inner SE
   
• St. Johns & North Portland
   
• Bethany
   
• South Waterfront
   
• Montavilla
   

Target listings that have lingered 40+ days.
Sellers may be more flexible on price, concessions, or repairs as holidays approach.

• Don’t “test the market” — price realistically from day one
   
• Expect longer timelines unless your home is dialed-in
   
• October is the final strong window before holiday slowdowns
   

• Use the increased inventory to negotiate more confidently
   
• Focus on motivated sellers for better deals
   
• Take action before interest rates or competition rebound in early 2026

Whether you're planning a move or just keeping an eye on the market, here's what’s happening in Portland real estate this September—and what it means for you.

Active listings are now up 32% year-over-year, continuing the steady rise we saw through summer. Buyers are enjoying the most choice they've had since 2021.

• More inventory = more leverage for buyers
   
• Less urgency = longer time to compare options
   
• Sellers must be sharp with pricing and presentation
   

Prices dipped slightly again this month (-0.5% from August), but remain up 1.7% year-over-year. Some suburban areas are seeing minor softening, while Portland’s central neighborhoods continue to show relative price stability.

The average home now takes almost two full months to sell. That slower pace signals:

• Buyers have breathing room
   
• Sellers must invest in staging, curb appeal, and digital marketing
   

Now 35% of homes that sold in August had at least one price cut before going pending. This highlights a key truth:

⚠️ Overpricing = missed momentum.
💡 Pricing right = faster, stronger offers.
 

Still hot and holding buyer interest:

• Beaverton – Top schools + strong appreciation
   
• Tigard – Vibrant downtown, new construction, walkability
   
• Hillsboro – Tech-driven demand, better value
   
• Milwaukie – Urban feel with suburban charm
   
• Oregon City – Family-friendly space, historic core
   

Entry-level buyers are increasingly turning to attached housing for value and location. Expect steady demand in:

• Inner Southeast
   
• North Portland
   
• South Waterfront
   
• Bethany
   

Look at listings that have sat for 30–45 days.
These sellers are likely open to negotiation—especially on repairs or closing costs.

• Price realistically from the start—don’t “test the market”
   
• Expect longer time on market unless your home stands out
   
• September is a prime time to relist before fall slows activity further
   

• Inventory = leverage. Use it to negotiate strategically
   
• Be decisive with well-priced homes—they still move quickly
   
• Take advantage of pre-winter slowdown before rates or demand shift
   

I’m Keenan Driscoll, Principal Broker with boots-on-the-ground insight and almost two decades of experience navigating Portland’s market cycles. I provide:

• Neighborhood-specific pricing advice

📈 Portland Housing Market Report – August 2025
Real Estate Trends Buyers and Sellers Should Know Now

Whether you're planning a move or just watching the market, here’s what’s happening in Portland real estate this August—and what it means for you.

Active listings are up 29% year-over-year, continuing July’s upward trend. Buyers have more choices than they’ve had in over two years.

• More selection = less urgency for buyers
   
• Negotiation power is shifting toward buyers
   
• Sellers need to price smartly and prep listings carefully
   

Down slightly from July (-0.3%) but still up 2.1% year-over-year. Portland’s core neighborhoods are holding value well, but price sensitivity is growing.

Homes are now taking nearly two months to sell on average. This slower pace gives buyers time to compare—and gives sellers a clear signal: presentation and pricing matter more than ever.

31% of homes sold last month had a price drop before going under contract. Overpricing is risky in this climate—realistic, data-driven pricing is essential.

These areas are leading buyer interest again this month:

• Beaverton – schools, tech jobs, strong resale value
   
• Tigard – new development + dining/walkability
   
• Hillsboro – affordability & Intel-driven demand
   
• Milwaukie – close-in charm, MAX access, mid-range prices
   
• Oregon City – more space, outdoor lifestyle
   

With single-family homes holding steady in price, attached homes are increasingly attractive for their affordability, lower maintenance, and urban locations.

Homes that have sat on the market for over a month often come with negotiation flexibility. Sellers are more willing to deal, especially if they’ve already reduced the price.

• Price competitively from day one
   
• Homes still sell—but only if they show well and are marketed right
   
• If you paused earlier this year, August is a good time to relist smartly
   

• Inventory gives you more power—use it
   
• You may be able to negotiate repairs, price, or closing costs
   
• Lock in a home before mortgage rates or seasonal competition shift in fall
   

I’m Keenan Driscoll, Principal Broker with deep experience in Portland’s evolving market. I guide clients with:

• Hyper-local insight on neighborhoods, pricing, and schools
   
• Strategic marketing & expert-level negotiation
   
• Access to off-market and coming-soon listings
   
• End-to-end support—financing, inspections, repairs, closing

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
