<p>The price per square foot, peaking at $326 in January 2024 and easing to $324 by April 2024, shows a modest decline. This indicates that while overall <a href="https://www.realtytrac.com/market-trends/portland-or/">Portland property values</a> have seen a downturn, the market isn’t drastically undervaluing the details, such as square footage. Particularly, it suggests that more compact properties may be maintaining their appeal and valuation better than their larger counterparts.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25617" src="https://nicautomation.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Real-Estate-Report-for-Portland-OR-May-2024-Price-per-sq-ft.png" alt="" width="1445" height="625" /></p>
<p>The market also revealed a reduction in the number of properties emerging on the market, with property counts decreasing from October 2023 to April 2024. Alongside, sold property counts reached their highest in autumn 2023 and hint at a market that was brisk and lively in late summer and early fall, which has since experienced a gradual slow down.</p>
<p>Portland’s real estate landscape isn’t viewed in isolation; surrounding cities provide additional contexts that reveal Portland’s position relative to its neighbors. The neighboring cities of Beaverton, Lake Oswego, and Happy Valley each tell their own story when their statistics are juxtaposed with Portland’s. Despite the price per square foot and the average property values in Portland being significant, they pale in comparison to the upscale Lake Oswego, which boasts considerably higher figures, hinting at a more high-end market.</p>
<h2>Portland Real Estate: Current Standings</h2>
<p>In the most recent data available as of April 2024, we see that Portland’s average property value stands firmly at $539,000. The average price per square foot is pegged at $324. The property count in the city is 1,077 with a sale price averaging about $553,000, and a sale price per square foot averaging $336. There were 6,691 properties sold, a number that signifies the city’s vitality in real estate movement.</p>
<p>Let’s contrast with <a href="https://www.realtytrac.com/market-trends/beaverton-or/">Beaverton</a>, where the average property value is observed at $522,400, with a price per square foot of $295. Beaverton’s property count is at 166, with an average sale price around $541,000 and a sale price per square foot of $309. With 1,309 properties sold, Beaverton stands as a dynamic but comparatively quieter market than Portland.</p>
