2025 Market Recap + 2026 Look Ahead
2025 Market Snapshot
- As 2025 wrapped up, the Portland Metro market showed clear signs of stabilization.
- Inventory tightened slightly, helping prices level out with modest increases
- Buyers became more thoughtful and locally focused
- Sellers adjusted pricing strategies to stay competitive
- The market moved at a steadier, healthier pace — especially on the Westside and in Beaverton, where inventory improved
What We’re Watching for 2026:
- Gradual inventory growth as more move-up sellers and re-enter the market
- Mortgage rates expected to remain in the low-to-mid 6% range
- Continued buyer activity without the frenzy — rewarding smart pricing and good preparation
Bottom line: 2026 is shaping up to be a more balanced, intentional market for both buyers and sellers.
Kat’s Take
If you’ve been quietly thinking about a move, this is a really good year to start the conversation. The market feels calmer, more balanced, and far more intentional than it has in a while. Buyers have more clarity, sellers are seeing steady demand, and well-prepared homes are still moving.
You don’t need to have a firm timeline or all the answers. Sometimes the smartest first step is simply talking through options, timing, and what a move could look like. Whether that’s this year or a few years down the road. I’m always here as a resource when you’re ready.
