🍂 The Oregon housing market is heading into fall with rising home prices and increasing inventory.
September's market data points to a seasonal slowdown in sales activity, while buyers are seeing more options and additional time to make decisions. For sellers, this evolving market highlights the importance of strategic pricing and strong presentation.
A look at the September 2026 numbers:
🏡 2,487 new listings
New listings increased 1.9% from August but were down 0.4% compared to September 2025.
📍 1,752 closed sales
Closed sales decreased 7.9% month over month and 4.0% year over year.
💰 $630,500 average sale price
The average sale price increased 3.8% from August and 2.2% year over year. The median sale price reached $545,000, up 0.9% from August and September 2025.
⏳ 68 days on the market
Average market time increased from 57 days in August and 62 days in September 2025.
📊 4.2 months of inventory
Up from 3.8 months in August, giving buyers more choices as the market moves into fall.
What does this mean for buyers and sellers?
For buyers, increased inventory and longer market times may provide more opportunities to compare homes, evaluate options, and negotiate. For sellers, understanding current market conditions, pricing appropriately, and presenting a home well can help attract serious buyers.
Overall, September brought continued year-over-year price growth alongside fewer closed sales and more available inventory. As we move further into fall, staying informed about local trends is key to making confident real estate decisions. 🏡
