What the sales history says · 13 years of sales

Bidding wars in Oregon are more common than before the pandemic, but two thirds fewer homes come up for sale

We read every month of Oregon’s home sales since 2013 so you don’t have to. Each figure covers 12 months, because a single month in a town is too few sales to mean much. Latest: the year to May 2026, 50 sales.

If you’re buying in Oregon

  • Shop in July. It brings about 7 new listings a month, close to the busiest month, with fewer bidding wars (6% over asking).
  • Bid near asking. Buyers paid 98.3% of the list price on average; 30% paid over.
  • Move fast on good ones. Half of homes are under contract within two weeks.
Best time to buy
