Oregon City Real Estate Market 2022 Update and Forecast

With more people opting to leave city life behind and slip away into suburbia, it’s nice to know places like Oregon City exist. Its palpable historic richness, thriving downtown area, and prime location at the confluence of the Willamette and Clackamas rivers make this charming Portland suburb worth serious consideration. If you’ve been thinking of relocating to a quieter, more calm lifestyle, this lovely city might be for you.

One of the first things to consider when thinking about relocating to a new locale is the area’s real estate market. We took a look at the market in Oregon City, and here’s what we found.

Oregon City Real Estate Market Forecast 2023

The greater Portland metro real estate market is starting to cool off. Home buyer traffic is leveling off and inventory is rising. This is due to rapidly increasing interest rates. Every suburb around Portland has been outperforming the city center, but this market slow down will eventually make its way to Oregon City. We expect prices to continue to rise through the summer then stabilize in the fall, potentially drop over the winter. Then 2023 should see modest gains. Overall, we still expect real estate prices to increase in Oregon City 10% from spring 2022 to spring 2023. The wild, nearly 20% annual prices increases should be over.
