Your 2026 Spring Housing Guide: Don’t Make a Move in Portland/Vancouver Without This!
Thinking of making a move this spring? The 2026 Spring Guides for Buyers and Sellers are officially here! 🌸🏠
The Portland-Vancouver real estate market is shifting. With inventory hitting 3.6 to 4.1 months of supply and mortgage rates finally stabilizing near 6%, the "Spring Surge" of 2026 is looking more balanced than we've seen in years. Whether you're looking for your first home in Hillsboro, downsizing in Camas, or selling in the Portland Metro, you need the right data to win.
In this video, we discuss:
For Sellers: Why buyer traffic is at a 3-year high and how to price for the "Spring Peak."
For Buyers: How to leverage rising inventory and explore down payment assistance programs (like the $40k Welcome Home grant).
Market Snapshot: Why Portland's median price of $525k and Vancouver's $549k are creating a stable foundation for your next move.
