Are home prices going up in Portland, Oregon in 2026?

Are home prices going up in Portland, Oregon in 2026?

Home prices have been a major talking point since the pandemic, when they climbed at a record pace in response to a frenzy of demand. This increase led to a sharp decline in affordability that weighed on buyers and sellers and slowed the housing market to a crawl.

Now, the housing market is in the early stages of a long, gradual reset. Redfin economists predict that affordability will slowly improve this year and beyond as price growth cools and wages rise. But with prices rising more quickly nationally in April, it's clear that improvement won't be linear—and that homebuyers and sellers may continue to deal with a difficult market.
