Each month, we give you the latest real estate market insights for suburbs around Portland. This time we focus on Hillsboro. It sits 20 miles west of downtown Portland offers a lot for home buyers and sellers. In fact, Livability has previously ranked the suburb as a best places to live in the United States for three years. 

Hillsboro is home to Intel’s Oregon campus, Oregon’s second-busiest airport, and the Hillsboro Hops minor league baseball team. Speaking of parks, it has more than 30 of them for over 1600 acres, including Hondo Dog Park, Orenco Woods Nature Park, Noble Woods Park, Rood Bridge Park, and Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve, among others.

Hillsboro’s entertainment and cultural highlights include the Next Level Pinball Museum and the Rice Museum of Rocks and Minerals. It offers a focus on sustainability and provides you with easy access via the MAX line. 

Let’s take a look at how the market is shaping up in Hillsboro in 2026. 

Hillsboro, Oregon Housing Inventory Shows Signs of Relief

This time of year, we see a similar inventory trend in Hillsboro as we do throughout Portland: a climb from spring to the next fall, followed by a decline from fall to the next spring. As of August 7th, 2026, active residential inventory in Hillsboro stands at 213 listings, an increase from 193 listings prior month and 178 listings two months ago.

Looking back over the last three years in Hillsboro and Portland overall, we have seen a rise in inventory – most significantly last year. But this year, we are seeing some relief. Though still above average, the inflated inventory of years past is beginning to come back down. We’re seeing an inventory count of 213 as of August 7th, vs 244 this same time last year. 

Hillsboro, Oregon Real Estate Pricing Slowly Declining, Mostly Flat

We have found in our over twenty years of selling Portland properties that the average home price is best determined using price-per-square-foot data. This time of year in Hillsboro and throughout Portland, we see a decrease in the price per square foot from April/May through to December, followed by a rise from December to April. So far this year, the same trend is holding. Hillsboro also follows Portland patterns by and large throughout the year, though with some slightly steeper peaks and valleys in Hillsboro.

Overall, Hillsboro typically is just slightly below the Portland average. As of August 7th, it comes in at $307, vs Portland at $309. We typically see a variance of $2 or $3 throughout the year. This month, Hillsboro’s price per square foot is near last year’s (down $1 from $308 to $307), whereas Portland came down $2 ($309 from $311). 

Hillsboro, Oregon Average Days Showing Stronger Market Stability

Hillsboro has slightly faster selling times than the Portland average each year, and this month we are seeing a larger gap than usual. Hillsboro shows an average of 87 days, vs. Portland’s 95.

Another difference from Portland overall can be seen in year-over-year trends. Hillsboro has been relatively stable when compared to last year, but Portland has continued to see longer average days each year since 2022. This points to a healthier market in Hillsboro. 

Both Hillsboro and Portland follow similar seasonal patterns throughout the year (a dip from February to August, and a rise from August to February). We are seeing this same trend this year. The rise has not yet begun, but given the reliability in trends, it should begin soon.

Hillsboro, Oregon 2026 Real Estate Forecast

Looking ahead into late 2026 and 2027, the Hillsboro real estate market is well balanced and healthy. While active inventory has climbed to 213 listings over the summer months, it remains significantly lower than the elevated levels seen in 2025. This relief, combined with stable price-per-square-foot figures around $307 and selling times staying under Portland regional averages, indicates that home values will continue on a steady, predictable trajectory for 2026 and into 2027. Our Hillsboro, Oregon real estate market forecast for 2027 is flat pricing assuming interest rates stay stable, or slightly down with higher rates, and slightly up with lower rates. The home buying market has been very sensitive to rates over the last few years.

Tips for buyers: While inventory still is slightly higher than average, it has come down, and homes continue to sell faster than the broader Portland metro area. Buyers should be ready to buy well-priced homes. 

Tips for sellers: With inventory still slightly up (while at the same time lower than last year) sellers have a slightly healthier market in Hillsboro versus the Portland average, but should still do their best to price accurately to avoid unnecessary price reductions.

Tracking real estate trends across the Portland metro area gives buyers and sellers a clearer picture of where the market is heading through the remainder of the year and into 2027. And as we have seen in prior months, 2026 is showing distinct signs of market stabilization compared to recent years. Inventory levels are building as expected for this time of year, but remain lower than 2025 totals. At the same time, price reductions are down slightly versus last year, and pending sales are slightly lower, but on the whole relatively similar to last year. Buyer traffic and careful pricing continue to support a market balance. 

This month’s report provides an in-depth look at the latest metrics to help you make informed real estate decisions. 

2026 Buyer Traffic Trends: Subsiding

In our 20+ years studying and working in the Portland metro housing market, home buyer traffic remains one of the most important metrics we use to understand the state of the market at any given time. For an accurate look at traffic, we turn to SentriLock Lockbox data. 

Buyer Traffic is Decreasing, Bucking the Trend

Looking at the latest numbers for May—the last full month of data—traffic counts reached 68,780, slightly lower than last year’s total of 69,369. After four years of steady increases in traffic, we are finally seeing a downturn. However, this still shows steady buyer traffic demand across the Portland metro area. Though still early to tell, this could lead to continued lower traffic figures vs. 2025 for 2026, benefiting buyers while putting some more pressure on sellers to price more carefully.

Portland Monthly Buyer Traffic Temperature

The May volume of 68,780 puts us on the upper end of the Warm temperature zone, indicating solid, ongoing engagement from active buyers. Still, sellers benefit from comparatively strong traffic totals. 

Daily Buyer Traffic

We can get a clearer picture of what may come by analyzing the last 12 days of data. In our analysis, we account for the fact that weekend days are typically higher. When looking at the last 12 dates of June, we see a lower total number of 27,238 showings compared to the 2025 total of 29,405. Yet again, we are seeing a decrease in overall traffic vs last year, supporting what we are seeing for the month. We are also seeing a higher total than 2024’s 25,971, again showing strong traffic totals overall. 

(Note: Bold dates indicate weekend days in 2026.)

With Buyer Demand (Traffic) Stable, the Market Remains Active

While the volume of showings has dropped slightly compared to last year’s peak, demand is holding at a steady and sustainable level. Well-priced homes continue to attract interest, providing sellers opportunities while setting the stage for a balanced market. 

Inventory Levels are Building Seasonally, but Lower Than Last Year

Inventory in Portland follows a regular seasonal pattern: a rise from March to September, followed by a fall from October to the following March. As of July 17th, inventory reached 1,625 homes, a steady rise from 1,500 listings in mid-June and 1,391 listings in mid-May, which follows the expected summer trajectory.

Portland, Oregon Inventory Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Portland has experienced higher-than-average inventory over the past three years, but 2026 marks a notable lowering. Total active inventory sits at 1,625 listings compared to 1,830 listings at the same time in 2025—a dip, yet still slightly above 2024’s total of 1,522. With inventory still fairly high, buyers can still review a large number of homes, but stable inventory levels will likely lead to fewer price reductions for sellers.

Price Reductions are Lower Than 2025 Levels

Greater Portland is following its typical seasonal cycle: a continuing rise in price decreases beginning in April/May. This rise typically continues until October and drops from December until the following May. As of July 17th, the percentage of listings with price reductions reached 43.2%, up from 41.53% in mid-June and 37.53% in mid-May. Again, we typically see a rise during this time of year.

Portland, Oregon Price Decreases Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Still, we are beginning to see a change in the number of homes experiencing price decreases. The current percentage of 43.2% is noticeably lower than the 48.2% in 2025 and on par with 2024’s 43.23%. While the previous three years showed a pattern of increasingly higher peaks and valleys, 2026 also marks a change: with fewer homes undergoing price decreases compared to last year, the market is showing signs of more stability through the summer and the remainder of the year.

Average Pricing is Declining Slightly

In our analysis of the Portland housing market, price per square foot gives us the most consistent measure of overall property values. As of July 17th, the average price per square foot for Portland sits at $311, down slightly from $316 in mid-June and $314 in mid-May. This gradual easing aligns with typical seasonal patterns where property values peak in late spring and slowly taper through December.

Portland, Oregon Price Per Square Foot Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Though current numbers are slightly lower than last year at this time ($313 in 2025), they aren’t far off, again showing some signs of stability. Prices will likely continue to drop gradually through the fall and winter seasons. However, based on the market improvements seen across inventory and price reduction metrics, property values likely won’t experience as steep a decline as they did last year.

New Listing and Pending Sales Remain Active

As of the latest data from RMLS for the full month of June, we see a consistent and active market on par with figures we saw last year in terms of new listings, but comparatively higher pending sales for the third month in a row. 

New listings totaled 3,164 in June, reflecting a minor increase over the 3,096 listings posted in June of 2025. This steady flow shows that sellers remain active. 

Pending sales reached  2,437 as of June, a 7% increase from June 2025 (2,267). With pending sales higher than typical and new listings on par with last year, this shows strong demand from buyers who are taking advantage of available inventory. 

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

With inventory below 2025 but still strong, we are still seeing plenty of options for buyers. At the same time, the total number of properties with price decreases is also down, and the June 2026 pending sales were strong. Combined with relatively stable price values compared to 2025, we are seeing active buying and a stable market. 

As we head into fall, inventory will lower and price decreases will rise through December, bringing lower home pricing that are typical for the time of year. Even after the busy spring buying season, Portland buyers can choose from a broad selection of homes and still negotiate. 

For sellers, competitive pricing is still the name of the game. While fewer homes overall are requiring price cuts compared to 2025, homes that are overpriced risk sitting on the market – especially as buyer traffic cools into autumn. 

August 2026 Real Estate Forecast

Looking ahead through the rest of 2026 and into early 2027, the Portland housing market is on track to relative stability. Inventory will likely reach its annual peak between August and September before tapering off into the winter months. While buyer traffic will gradually decrease through autumn, lower inventory levels relative to 2025 will prevent the market from softening and likely create only minor price lowering. 

As we enter late 2026 and look toward 2027, pricing on the whole will follow seasonal trends and will likely follow last year’s seasonal numbers with perhaps only slightly lower adjustments. As has been the case for the last few years, any interest rate changes will have an immediate impact on the Portland real estate market.

Conclusion

By analyzing these local, data-backed metrics, both buyers and sellers can navigate the Portland market with confidence in the months ahead. While seasonal shifts will bring lower showing volume and inventory reductions through the fall and winter, the underlying stability in property values and seller activity points toward a steady transition into 2027.

Every month, we publish Portland suburb market updates that bring valuable insights for buyers and sellers. This month, we are looking at Beaverton. Situated 8 miles west of Portland’s city center, Beaverton is an economic hub, home to employers such as IBM, Tektronix, Reser’s and Fine Foods, and Nike. (It is home to Nike’s world headquarters.) The area also boasts an array of scenic parks, paved nature trails, pristine green spaces, and superb local wine-tasting spots, such as Hamacher Wines and Cooper Mountain Vineyards. 

Another major draw for locals and visitors is the famous Beaverton Farmers Market. It runs from February through November and showcases outstanding local agricultural produce, artisan baked goods, and unique handcrafted items. 

Beaverton remains a popular and enduring destination for those looking to relocate, so let’s dive into what the current data tells us about the local housing market. 

Beaverton, Oregon Housing Inventory at Healthier Levels

According to Fidelity National Title, Beaverton’s housing inventory stands at 277 active listings as of July 10th. This is a slight climb from last month’s total of 273 and a more noticeable increase from the 240 active listings we saw two months ago. We are seeing a steady climb since April, which is typical for this time of year, but this year is also a bit different as inventory is not rising as fast as it did in recent years. Hopefully, we won’t see as much excessive inventory in fall 2026 as we did in fall 2025.

Beaverton, Oregon Inventory Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Overall, Portland has followed a similar pattern, with steadily rising inventory over the last three years and a dip this month, which we have also saw in other recent months, showing signs of an overall reduction in inventory. 

In both areas, we typically see a steady inventory climb from spring to the next fall, followed by a decline from fall to the next spring. Even with lower-than-2025 inventory totals, we are still hovering above 2024 levels. This gives buyers more choices than they had during the tightest market years while offering a healthier market overall.

Beaverton, Oregon Real Home Prices Remain Steady

By and large, pricing in Beaverton falls just below the Portland average. This month, the latest date shows Beaverton’s median price per square foot at $304, versus Portland’s average of $313. Beaverton’s average is practically unchanged from last month’s $305 and up slightly from $301 two months ago. In recent years pricing as been relatively stable in Beaverton. In July 2025, the price per square foot was $307. In July 2024, it was $301, and in July 2023, it was $307. The minor fluctuations are different than what we see in Portland overall, with a sharp rise and fall throughout the year. 

Beaverton, Price Per Square Foot Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Looking at the data year over year, Beaverton’s price per square foot is slightly lower than last year’s, but higher than the year prior. This marks another difference from what we see in Portland overall, which has experienced a slight decline for its third year in a row (though Portland is nearly on par with last year). On July 10th, 2026, Portland’s average price per square foot was $313. In 2025, it was $312, and in 2024, it was $325. 

If we follow prior trends, we will likely see slightly lower pricing soon, but as mentioned before, overall pricing remains relatively stable in Beaverton. Overall, values in Beaverton have not fluctuated much since 2022. Seasonally, we see price changes throughout the year (unlike in Portland), and charting where pricing will go in 2026 is a bit unclear. Still, we could follow last year and predict a slight decline from August/September through next spring.

Beaverton, Oregon Average Days on the Market Show Stronger Buyer Demand

Beaverton has faster selling times than the Portland average, and this month is no exception. It is currently averaging 69 days, compared with Greater Portland’s 94. 

Beaverton, Oregon Average Days on the Market Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Beaverton has stayed relatively stable in days on the market over the last few months, but saw a drop since March – its usual trend. Looking year over year, the average days are closer to 2024, yet still above 2023. As for Portland, it is experiencing significantly slower selling times, with the latest at 94 days, compared to 85 days in 2025, 79 days in 2024, and 71 days in 2023. 

In terms of seasonality,  Beaverton follows Portland overall: a fall in the average days on the market until August/September, and then a steep rise in average days until the following March, which marks the beginning of the busy spring buying season. Given this relatively stable trend, we will likely see the same this year, but its peak will likely be lower than the extreme high of 2025. 

Given the lower peaks this spring, we are likely to see average daily numbers that put it more in line with its prior history of more stable ups and downs that stay below the Portland average yet remain relatively consistent.

Beaverton, Oregon 2027 Real Estate Forecast

With inventory levels signaling a reduction in 2026 compared to last year’s peaks, Beaverton’s real estate market appears stable and healthy. With values below the Portland average and fewer available homes than in prior years, fast-selling times indicate stronger buyer demand than we saw in 2025. This will likely lead to a slightly better 2027.

If we follow trends from prior years, we will likely see a modest, gradual decline in values beginning around August or September. The combination of balanced inventory and steady demand suggests that overall values in Beaverton will yet again remain stable. We predict the Beaverton, Oregon real estate market to remain stable in 2027 with very little price increases or decreases. If interest rates drop significantly, the Beaverton housing prices will increase, as the suburb has a stable foundation and demand. But if interest rates remain the same or rise slightly, we can expect a flat 2027.

As we move further into the summer, it is time to get a sense of how the Portland metro housing market is performing. By looking at key metrics, we can gain a clearer picture of what buyers and sellers should expect in the coming months and for the remainder of 2026. This month’s report continues our deep dive into the data to help you make informed decisions in a shifting landscape. And when you’re ready to buy or sell, we’re here to help. 

2026 Buyer Traffic Trends: Growing

In our 20+ years studying and working in the Portland metro housing market, we have learned that buyer traffic is one of the most important metrics for understanding the market’s state. Let’s take a closer look at the numbers. 

July 2026 Buyer Traffic Trends: Growing

According to SentriLock Lockbox data for May—the last full month of available data—traffic counts reached 73,492. This is notably higher than the 67,567 recorded in the same time in 2025 and the 65,919 in 2024. This consistent growth highlights a strong desire among buyers, suggesting that while interest rates remain a factor, active participants are still eager to engage.

Portland Monthly Buyer Traffic Temperature

The current volume of 73,492 puts the Portland market above the “Warm” temperature zone, at the midpoint between warm and hot, indicating strong buyer demand.

Daily Buyer Traffic

We can get a clearer picture of what may come by analyzing the last 12 days of the month. In our analysis, we account for the fact that weekend days are typically higher. The final 12 days of May show strong activity, with many days staying well above 2,000 showings, signaling that buyers are active and engaged even as the spring season matures.

High Buyer Demand Signals Pent Up Demand

These results mean that well-priced homes will continue to attract attention, a positive sign for sellers looking to move their properties during the summer months. But other factors help to provide a clearer picture of what to expect. 

Inventory Levels are Building Seasonally

Inventory in Portland follows the regular seasonal pattern: a rise from March to September, followed by a decline from October to March. 

Portland, Oregon Inventory Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Portland has experienced higher-than-average inventory levels over the past three years, but as we observed in previous months, 2026 marks a shift toward increasing stability. We now see lower inventory levels than last year, with 1,500 active listings compared to 1,701 the prior year.

Inventory remains fairly high, giving buyers plenty of options to review. However, because inventory is more stable than in previous years, we expect to see fewer aggressive price reductions, contributing to a more balanced market. Let’s look at those now. 

Price Reductions are Following Seasonal Cycles

Greater Portland is following its typical seasonal cycle of price decreases, which rise beginning in April/May and continue until October, then drop through the winter. 

Here, too, we are beginning to see a change in the number of homes experiencing decreases. Currently, 41.53% of homes have experienced a price decrease, down from 44.15% at the same time last year. 

Portland, Oregon Price Decreases Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

We are still higher than average compared to the three years prior to last year, but you can see that we have had increasing price decreases over the last three years with higher peaks and valleys each year, and this year marks a change to that trend, bringing a lower seasonal dip since April. So here again, lower quantities of homes undergoing price decreases could signal a healthier market through summer and the remainder of the year. 

Average Pricing is Stable

Portland’s property values, analyzed via Price Per Square Foot, are currently following the typical seasonal trend of lowering from the late-April peak. As of the latest data, the price per square foot is $316, matching 2025 and lower than 2024’s total of $325. The total isn’t far from 2023, following the recent trend of relatively flat price gains. 

Given the other traits of lower inventory and fewer price decreases, the fall which typically sees higher inventory and falling prices, may not be as difficult for sellers than in recent years.

Portland, Oregon Price Per Square Foot Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

While price gains have been relatively flat in recent years, the combination of lower inventory and fewer price reductions offers some optimism. The fall typically sees high inventory and falling prices, but the effect might not be as dramatic this year as last.

New Listing and Pending Sales Remain Active

The latest listing and pending sales data from RMLS is from May, and shows a healthy spring season. New listings were down, but pending sales were up. 

While some cooling is typical as we approach the second half of the year, the stability in pending sales suggests that there is still significant motivation in the market. Sellers should note that while the market is active, accurate pricing remains the most critical factor in securing a successful sale.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

Buyers still have good negotiating power, but less so than in prior years. With inventory levels remaining robust, buyers have plenty to choose from, but pricing data indicate they may not be able to push as hard on price in 2026 as before.

For sellers, the current environment requires strategic positioning. Since the market is cooling slightly compared to the peak spring busy buying season, sellers who price their homes competitively from day one are seeing better results. And with plenty of inventory on the market, it pays to stay competitive.

July 2026 Real Estate Forecast

As we forecast the remainder of 2026, we expect conditions to remain stable. The data indicates that while we are moving out of the peak of the spring buying season, the market is not entering a decline (yet). We expect inventory to increase through September and buyer traffic to slowly drop through September, making the next few months a more challenging time to sell than buy, but given the improvement in a few key market factors this fall shouldn’t be as tough for sellers as it was last fall.

Conclusion

By paying close attention to these data-backed, Portland real estate market trends, both buyers and sellers can achieve their goals in the months ahead. Whether you are looking for a 1% buyers agent to guide you through your purchase or a 1% seller’s agent to maximize your sale, our team is ready to assist you.

It’s time again to take a closer look at one of Portland’s desirable suburbs to help our readers stay informed about shifting trends. Whether you are considering entering the market as a buyer or seller, these ongoing suburb reports provide the essential data you need to make high-stakes decisions with confidence. 

This month, we are turning our attention to Milwaukie, Oregon. (No, not the Milwaukee from Wisconsin.) Situated just about six miles south of downtown Portland on the city’s southeastern border, Milwaukie offers a unique lifestyle defined by vibrant local shopping, varied dining options, and access to excellent outdoor recreation. Residents enjoy easy access to the Willamette River for swimming and kayaking, the convenience of the world-famous Bob’s Red Mill, and a thriving local brewery scene that highlights the area’s eclectic spirit. 

Let’s take a look at what’s brewing in Milwaukie… in real estate, that is.

Milwaukie, Oregon Housing Inventory is Stable

According to Fidelity National Title, we typically see similar inventory trends in Milwaukie as we do throughout Portland: a climb from spring to next fall, followed by a decline from fall to the next spring. 

Milwaukie, Oregon Inventory Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Since 2023, Milwaukie has seen a year-over-year rise in inventory, but this year it is down slightly, coming in at 88 vs. last year’s 106. Still, it hovers well above the totals from 2024 (53) and 2023 (54). By and large, this pattern has emerged throughout Portland and aligns with broader trends: while plenty of buyers are in the market, they are more cautious due to affordability, keeping inventory high. But the lower total this year than last is a good sign. 

Milwaukie, Oregon Real Estate Prices May Be Correcting

We use price-per-square-foot data to accurately gauge values in Portland. As is typical, we see pricing in Milwaukie below the Portland average, currently at $290 vs. Portland’s $315. But for the last few years, Milwaukie has followed a different trend year over year than Portland. From 2023 to 2025, Milwaukie had a steady increase in value, while Portland had steady decreases. 

Milwaukie, Price Per Square Foot Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Since April, Milwaukie has also dropped notably from $304 to $290. Time will tell if it is a temporary drop due to normal flux or the start of a trend.

The current total of $290 in Milwaukie brings us close to the $280 we saw back in 2023. This may point to a possible correction in values, given the steady rise across the last three years. If we follow the trends of 2023 and prior, which we may be back to, we could see a continued dip until September. 

Milwaukie, Oregon Average Days on the Market

We are seeing the same seasonal trend in Milwaukie as we see in Portland overall: drops in average days on the market from early spring to summer (July/August), followed by a steady rise in average days until next spring. The average days on the market are currently 100, notably higher than at this time last year. This aligns with what we are seeing overall: buyers feel less urgent to pull the trigger than in prior years. Still, they are making purchases, albeit more cautiously.

Milwaukie, Oregon Average Days on the Market Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

We are also seeing another similarity to Portland: increasing average days year over year throughout the year, with higher peaks and valleys. But in Milwaukie, the increases since 2023 have been more pronounced, with the number of days increasing by 20 or more per year.

Milwaukie, Oregon 2027 Real Estate Forecast

Pricing has moved away from the highs seen over the last two years, now at $290 per square foot – the lowest level since 2023. Inventory remains high but has stabilized. The combination of more days on the market and declining values indicates that the market is adjusting to reflect buyer caution and affordability constraints. 

As we keep moving toward 2027, buyers and sellers should keep their eyes focus on interest rates. If the rates rise, 2027 may be a flat year or may show a small decline in prices overall. If the rates lower or stay the same, there could be some price increases in 2027, because overall buyer traffic and demand is pent-up and higher than in previous years.

As Portland moves further into 2026, the spring real estate market stays healthy and is performing slightly better than in prior years. Pending sales are slightly higher and price reductions are slightly lower. Inventory remains seasonally high. The average price per square foot is dropping slightly (the only negative for sellers this spring so far). Buyer traffic remains elevated over prior years. Most of the statistics point to a slightly improved spring season. Keep in mind, the last few years had much slower summer, fall, and winter months and inventory increases and buyer traffic eventually subsides. We expect that to remain the same in 2026.

This update provides an analysis of the latest metrics for inventory, traffic, and sales activity to help you navigate the months ahead. 

2026 Buyer Traffic is Increasing, Once Again

In our 20+ years studying and working in the Portland metro housing market, home buyer traffic in Oregon remains one of the most important metrics we use to understand the state of the market at any given time. We use SentriLock Lockbox data to achieve the most accurate understanding of these trends. 

Looking at the data for April—the last full month of available metrics—we see a total count of 73,492 for 2026, quite a bit higher than the total of 67,567 in 2025, 65,919 in 2024, and 60,543 in 2023. 

Buyer Traffic Data Shows Continued Increases 

When comparing seasonal trends, we typically see an increase in traffic from March through May, followed by a slight tapering off in June, though numbers remain strong. The increase in traffic in the latest month of data, April, combined with higher-than-normal traffic in March and February, suggests strong demand as we head into the summer months.

Portland Monthly Buyer Traffic Temperature

The current totals put the April time period in the very high “Warm” temperature zone, indicating strong and consistent demand from buyers.

Daily Buyer Traffic Has Been Strong

We can get a clearer picture of what may come by analyzing the last 12 days. (In our analysis, we account for the fact that weekend days are typically higher.) Comparing this recent window to last year confirms that we are seeing higher values well over 2,000. Combined with the overall higher-than-average totals for March and February, June is shaping up to be a strong month, even if following the trend of being slightly lower than May. 

With Buyer Demand (Traffic) High, The Market Stays Healthy

These results indicate a healthy level of interest. Well-priced homes will continue to attract attention, which is a positive indicator for sellers looking to move their properties through the summer.

Inventory Levels are Building Seasonally

Inventory levels in Portland typically rise from March to September. This year we are seeing the same trend, and the totals main relatively high. However, as we have seen in the last few months, we are possibly shifting away from ever-increasing year-over-year inventory. As of the latest data from May 2026, inventory has reached 1,391 listings. Last year (2025), at about the same time, inventory was 1,575; in 2024, it was 1,414.

Price Reductions are Slightly Lower

From the latest data, we can see Greater Portland following its typical seasonal cycle: price reductions decline from December to April, then begin to level out and rise through the summer months. As of the latest data point in May 2026, the percentage of listings with price reductions is 37.53%. This compares to 33.3% in the prior month and 32.93% in the month prior to that.

The current percentage is showing positive signs. The current total of 37.53% is slightly lower than the 40.19% observed during the same period in 2025, though still higher than the 30.55% in 2024 and 27.93% in 2023.

While we remain above the average for the last four years—which typically aligns with higher-than-average inventory data—this year’s lower percentage is a welcome sign for sellers, suggesting a slightly healthier market through the summer and the remainder of 2026. 

Average Pricing is Lowering

Based on the latest Price Per Square Foot data, our preferred metric for Portland property values, we can see that Portland’s overall values are following the seasonal trend of lowering from late April through December. The current average price per square foot is $314, compared to $319 in the prior month and $322 in the month before that.

The current total is lower than 2025 ($317), 2024 ($323), and 2023 ($317). This lower-than-normal pricing can be seen as an extension of the unseasonably low values from late 2025, but it doesn’t entirely align with the slight inventory declines and price decreases seen recently.

New Listing and Pending Sales Remain Consistent

In April, there were 3,396 new listings in the Portland Metro area, reflecting a seasonal rise in listings through May. We are also seeing a 1.1% year-over-year increase from April 2025 (3,358). 

We’re seeing slightly better results in pending sales. April 2026 saw 2,356 pending sales, up 5.9% from 2,225 in April 2025. Pending sales trends have remained relatively consistent and healthy year-over-year, but this year the totals have stood out higher since February, reflecting steady buyer demand even as more inventory becomes available. This performance of pending sales relative to closed sales points toward a slightly stronger pipeline of activity heading into the slower summer months.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

With inventory levels staying seasonally consistent and buyer traffic maintaining a strong pace, both buyers and sellers should be able to accomplish both their goals. Still, for sellers, the data indicate that while homes are moving, accurate pricing is paramount. 

For buyers, this the upcoming slower summer months will offer increased inventory and more negotiation power.

Conclusion

With inventory and price decreases high yet lower than usual during the spring buying season, combined with slightly higher pending sales, the market is active and poised to benefit buyers and sellers by meeting demand.

Each month, our Portland Suburb Real Estate Market Reports highlight one of Portland’s many desirable suburbs. This time, we focus on beautiful Lake Oswego, an area that continues to stand out as one of the most desirable real estate markets in the Portland Metro area.

Located 8 miles south of Portland, it is known for its namesake, Lake Oswego, its surrounding parks, and ample water activities. The area is also well known for its highly rated public educational system and strong community spirit. 

This article examines the current trends shaping the local real estate market and what to expect as we move further into 2026.

Lake Oswego Inventory Rises as Portland Self-Corrects

Each year at this time, Lake Oswego experiences a steady climb in housing inventory, reaching 199 active listings this month. This is an increase from 150 listings last month and 134 the month prior.

While we typically see a seasonal climb from spring to fall, followed by a decline from fall to spring, on average, Lake Oswego’s inventory has been rising annually since 2022. At the same time, Portland overall is seeing its first inventory decline since 2022, a sign of self-correction. We expect this trend to impact Lake Oswego as the year progresses.

Lake Oswego, Oregon, Real Estate Prices are Climbing 

In our time serving Portland, we have found that the average home price is best determined using price-per-square-foot data. In Lake Oswego, the latest data shows a price per square foot of $509. Although this is a slight dip from $533 last month and $545 the month prior, pricing remains significantly higher than the last two years, where it held flat at $493 in both 2024 and 2025. Lake Oswego’s $533 price is well above Portland’s price of $315, indicating continued strong demand in the area. Interestingly, the current total is also during a time of high inventory.

Also worth noting is that Lake Oswego usually sees pricing rise and fall seasonally. Still, the city experienced an unusually long period of relatively stable pricing without a dip from July to February, which kept values higher than normal. Coupled with the current high total, we are yet again seeing signs of unusually strong demand. 

Average Days on the Market Remain Higher than Average

We are seeing a seasonal trend similar to Portland overall, where market time falls after March, corresponding with the busy spring buyer season. However, homes in Lake Oswego are currently taking longer to sell than they did at this time last year (114 this year vs. 89 last year). This matches a broader trend across the metro area; Portland is experiencing longer market times, reaching 96 days this month, up from 82 days last year. There has also been a shallower decline in the numbers since January than in prior years, which explains the current high total.

These rising numbers in days vs. prior years, combined with higher inventory and pricing, indicate a more balanced market with no extremes expected.

Lake Oswego, Oregon 2026 Real Estate Forecast

Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, we expect Lake Oswego to continue its pattern of seasonal fluctuations with relative stability. Inventory will rise until September, pricing will dip until around the same time (October), and average days will continue to decline until September. 

While inventory is currently repeating growth patterns that outpace the broader Portland metro, the consistent rise in price-per-square-foot value compared to 2024 and 2025 highlights the area’s enduring appeal. 

For buyers, the increasing inventory provides more choices than have been available in several years. For sellers, the market should remain relatively balanced in the area. Values are holding firm and even increasing, but homes are staying on the market longer, typically resulting in lower prices down the road.

As we move into May, the Portland real estate market continues to show positive signs of increased activity. Following a winter that saw the market move toward a stronger balance between buyers and sellers, our latest data confirms that the momentum built in the first quarter is carrying over into the spring season. 

Though inventory levels are still high an increase in demand is creating a more competitive landscape, benefiting sellers. Current trends point to 2026 as a year defined by balanced incremental growth.

2026 Buyer Traffic Trends – Growing

In our 20+ years working in the Portland metro housing market, we find that buyer traffic is one of the most important metrics for understanding the real estate market at any given time.

May 2026 Buyer Traffic Trends 

According to the latest data ending March 20th, we are seeing significantly higher activity than at the same time over the last four years. The March traffic count is 68,401, a substantial increase over the 59,453 recorded in March 2025. This massive uptick of around 8,000 showings shows that buyers are actively engaging with the market and outpacing previous norms, closing in on the demand seen in hotter years. This comes at a time when no further interest rate drops are expected. Many buyers are no longer waiting. 

Portland Monthly Buyer Traffic Temperature

Given the current volume of 68,401 showings, the market temperature for buyer traffic is currently Hot.

Daily Buyer Traffic

We can get a clearer picture of what may come by analyzing the last 12 days of the month. In our analysis, we account for the fact that weekend days are usually higher. 

The data for these final 12 days shows higher totals even when accounting for weekend days, suggesting that the heightened demand observed in March will carry over into April as well.

With Buyer Demand (Traffic) High, We Can Expect a Stable Year.

This data signals a busy season, yet also a balanced one, benefiting buyers with options and sellers with higher prices than recent levels.

Inventory Levels are High, But Stable

In the Portland metro area, inventory follows its regular seasonal pattern: a rise from March through September and a decline from October through the following March. We are seeing the same pattern this year.

Portland, Oregon Inventory Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title. 

Portland has experienced higher-than-average inventory for the past three years, but with increased buyer traffic this year, the pattern might start to break. When we look at this year-over-year, we see 1,162 for the current period, compared to 1,261 last year, 1,002 the year before that (2024), and 771 for the same period in 2023.

This stability suggests more equilibrium this year. For sellers, this is a welcome development that reduces the pressure of prolonged market times, while buyers continue to benefit from a healthy number of options. If this trend holds through the spring, we anticipate continued stabilization of home values.

Price Reductions are Lowering

Greater Portland is following its typical seasonal cycle of fewer homes undergoing price reductions. Currently, the percentage is 33.3%, compared to 32.69% last month and 35.61% in the prior month.

Portland, Oregon Price Decreases Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

Year-over-year, this is slightly lower than the 33.94% seen in 2025 – yet again, another small sign of improvement. This is particularly revealing because over the last two years we have seen more price decreases, which typically follow inventory increases. So here again, lower prices could signal greater stabilization as we head into summer. For sellers, this signals a more favorable environment as we head into the summer months, while buyers should be prepared for a market with less downward price pressure.

Average Pricing is Trending Up Slightly

Portland’s property values have risen since December, a pattern that aligns with typical seasonal trends: prices increase through late March, then stabilize and eventually decline from April through December.

This upward movement follows a lower-than-normal price per square foot experienced during the winter months. As a result, the current figures may indicate the start of a correction. The current average price of $322 per square foot is higher than the $319 recorded at this time last year. For sellers, this current price trajectory suggests a stable footing as we enter the height of the spring season.

New Listing and Pending Sales Increase

The Portland metro real estate market is seeing a healthy surge in activity, as evidenced by the latest RMLS data for the March 2026 reporting period. New listings reached 2,738, a 2.7% increase compared to the same time last year. This influx of new property options is providing buyers with more variety as we move deeper into spring.

At the same time, buyer demand is clearly rising, with pending sales totaling 2,319 for the month. This marks a 5.5% increase over the same month last year. The fact that both new listings and pending sales are up suggests that the market is effectively absorbing new inventory, yet again supporting signs of a more balanced and active spring market.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

The data for this month reveals an increasingly dynamic market. For buyers, the increase in new listings means more opportunities, but the rising demand—as seen in the pending sales figures—means you must remain prepared to act decisively. Being pre-approved and having a clear understanding of your local criteria is essential in this competitive spring environment.

For sellers, the combination of strong buyer traffic and stabilizing inventory levels indicates that the spring selling season is in full swing. Pricing your home competitively remains the single most important factor for success. As prices decline, properties that are correctly positioned from day one are achieving better results, often avoiding the need for later price adjustments.

May 2026 Real Estate Forecast

As we look toward the remainder of 2026, the data indicates that the Portland metro area is settling into a more sustainable, balanced pace. The surge in buying activity we have tracked throughout the first quarter suggests consistently positive market performance. We anticipate that sellers can expect stable appreciation, while buyers will benefit from a more predictable environment. And since spring is an indicator of the year as a whole, we should see the same trends throughout the remainder of 2026. 

Conclusion

The trends analyzed this month paint a picture of a Portland market finding its footing and showing balanced growth. 

For buyers and sellers navigating the market, success remains the same: staying informed and acting with a clear, data-driven strategy. Whether you are aiming to benefit from the spring buying season or preparing for a move later this summer or fall, it’s a good time to be in the market.

Each month, our Portland suburb market reports keep you up to date on the latest real estate activity across the region. This month, we are focusing our update on Newberg, Oregon. 

Situated approximately 24 miles southwest of the Portland Metro area, Newberg offers a unique blend of rural character and easy access to the city that continues to draw demand from buyers. It is famous for its food scene and was rated by USA Today as one of the best small-town food scenes in 2023. The city is also famously known as the “Gateway to Oregon’s Wine Country” with lush countryside and proximity to world-class vineyards.

Newberg holds significant appeal for those looking to settle in the Pacific Northwest. In this update, we explore the Newberg real estate market, analyzing the latest data to understand what is happening now and what we can expect as we look further into 2026.

Newberg, Oregon Housing Inventory May Be Self Correcting

During this time of year in Newberb, we typically inventory trends that mirror the Portland average: a decline from fall to spring, followed by a climb from spring to the following fall. We are seeing this pattern repeat this year, but Newberg is undergoing a sharper drop in inventory than in the last three years. As of April 10th, the total number of homes for sale is 53, significantly lower than last year’s total of 81 and lower than (but closer to) the totals in the 60s seen in the prior two years.

Newberg, Oregon Inventory Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

This sharper-than-usual decline follows an abnormally high inventory peak in October,  higher than the last four years. Despite the steep drop, the current total is more or less in line with the figures from the last two years, so this could be a sign of self-correction. Following seasonal patterns, we expect inventory to rise in the summer.

Newberg, Oregon Real Estate Prices are More Stable

We determine average home prices with price-per-square-foot data, the most reliable metric for comparing market value in Portland. For the latest period ending April 10, the price per square foot in Newberg is $325. When looking at historical data, Newberg’s current price per square foot is lower than $365 in 2025, but notably higher than the $315 recorded in both 2024 and 2023. 

Newberg, Price Per Square Foot Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

By and large, the market has returned to a more stable trend than the abnormal spike and drop we witnessed between April and October. Given this, we should see a slight flattening or a modest price rise through the year. This stability mirrors broader trends in Portland, which is also seeing a slight rise in the price per square foot compared to last year.

The Average Days on the Market are High But Likely to Drop

Average days on the market are leveling off before dipping, a pattern we see in the Greater Portland area. The latest data shows homes in Newberg are staying on the market for an average of 154 days, a slight increase from 152 days last month, but a decrease from 166 days two months ago, indicating a leveling-off period. 

Newberg, Oregon Average Days on the Market Chart. Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

For Newberg, this comes after a much stronger rise in market time than in previous years. When we compare these results with the inventory data above, we see that the two trends are tightly related due to the fact that as selection tightens, the properties remaining on the market are often those with longer cumulative time on the market. 

The current average of 154 is significantly higher than the 104 days seen at this time last year, the 122 days in 2024, or the 75 days in 2023. However, with signs of self-correction in the other data, we should see these figures return to closer to normal levels.

Newberg, Oregon 2026 Real Estate Forecast

Looking ahead at the remainder of 2026, we anticipate Newberg will continue its self-correction. And since the current inventory of 53 homes is lower than the past few years, any increase in buyer demand via seasonal shifts or potential interest rate adjustments could lead to a very competitive spring and early summer season. While market time is currently high at 154 days, we expect that number to drop as the spring sales are finalized and the “stale” winter inventory is absorbed. 

Given that pricing has stabilized compared to the volatility of 2025, our forecast for the rest of 2026 is steady, moderate growth. We expect a slight price increase as the market balances out, making it a favorable window for sellers who have been waiting for stability and for buyers who want to avoid the erratic price spikes of years past.

The Portland real estate market is heading into spring with added energy. Even with today’s interest rates and year-over-year inventory increases, home values are showing signs of improvement. New listings and pending sales are up, and buyer traffic is hitting levels we haven’t seen in years.  This is shaping up to be a busier real estate market than in recent years, whether you’re a buyer or a seller. 

2026 Buyer Traffic Trends are Trending Upward

One striking data point this spring is the significant increase in buyer traffic (best since 2022). Using SentriLock lockbox activity, we can see that buyers are out and ready to shop, suggesting a competitive spring buying season that puts sellers in a better position than prior years. 

February Buyer Traffic Trends Show Significant Growth

In February 2026, we saw a total of 56,365 lockbox activations in the Portland area. This is a jump from the last few years. We are seeing a 19.5% increase over February 2025, suggesting that buyers are feeling more confident and are actively touring homes before the busy spring season. 

Comparison Table (2021–2026):

Portland Monthly Buyer Traffic Temperature

The market temperature sits at “Luke Warm”, putting us on a growth trend since the new year leading up to the busy spring season. 

Daily Buyer Traffic

For a tighter read on what may lie ahead, we can look at the last 12 days. We need to factor in busier days (weekends) when doing these comparisons, but even with those in mind, we are seeing higher numbers across the board, many days 500 to 700 higher. 

With Buyer Demand (Traffic) High, the Market is Shifting

With demand high, homes priced correctly and in good condition will move quickly. Even with inventory high (which we cover next), the volume of buyers is sufficient to keep the market leaning toward a seller’s advantage.

Inventory Levels Continue to Rise Year-Over-Year

One of the most encouraging signs for buyers this year is the rise in inventory. As of March 20th, 2026, there are 1,075 single-family homes on the market in Portland. This is a slight increase from 1,067 in 2025, a time of already-high inventory (nearly double that of 2022). 

Portland, Oregon Inventory Chart, Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

The continuing trend of rising inventory since 2022 is bringing a more balanced market than we’ve seen in years, giving buyers more options while demand for homes continues. 

Price Reductions are Showing Signs of Stabilization

Price reductions are a key indicator of market health. Currently, 32.93% of homes on the market have seen a price decrease, close to the 33.93% this time last year. This slightly downward move during a time of high inventory suggests that sellers are staying realistic with list prices. Whenever decreases stabilize or decline, it often signals a floor in pricing and a more predictable market for buyers and sellers.

Average Pricing is Showing Improvement

The price per square foot – our preferred method of understanding values in Portland – has climbed to $322 as of late March. This is an improvement over the $319 we saw in 2025, aligning with 2023 and 2024.

Portland, Oregon Price-Per-Square-Foot Chart, Courtesy of Fidelity National Title.

This number is also a sharper rise from the October and November lows vs. prior years, showing that the Portland market remains resilient and that home values are beginning to edge upward. This is promising news not just for sellers, but also for buyers, offering a promising sign for their future investment.

New Listing and Pending Sales (Analysis of RMLS Data)

According to the latest RMLS data for February 2026, Portland saw a 17.1% increase in new listings compared to 2025 (2,260 vs. 1,930, respectively). This influx of inventory was met with a 10.5% increase in pending sales (1,821 vs. 1,648). 

Both factors are positive signs for both buyers and sellers. With more listings meeting demand, the market can strike a balance. 

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, the increased inventory is your best friend. While inventory is up, you have more options this spring than in recent years. For sellers, the high pending sales, modest price increases, and high traffic totals are good signs. There is clearly a deep pool of active buyers looking for homes. However, with more competition from other sellers, pricing and presentation must be spot on.
