Oregon Coast · Real Estate Market · 2026 Report
Median prices, year-over-year appreciation, days on market, inventory levels, and buyer vs. seller conditions — every city from Astoria to Brookings, analyzed by a local loan officer.
The Oregon Coast real estate market in 2026 is being driven by three forces that aren't going away: near-zero rental vacancy, continued remote-work migration from Portland and Seattle, and essentially no new housing supply coming online in any coastal city. The result is a market that has confounded buyers who've been waiting for prices to soften — in most coast cities, they haven't.
What I'm seeing from my clients: the buyers who are winning are pre-approved, decisive, and understand that county property taxes — not just purchase price — determine what they can actually afford monthly. A $465,000 home in Florence (Lane County, 0.67%) and a $465,000 home in Seaside (Clatsop County, 0.63%) look identical on the listing sheet but carry meaningfully different monthly payments. This report gives you the full picture for every city.

Full Reedsport Living Guide →The structural conditions driving Oregon Coast appreciation — no rental alternatives, remote-work migration, no new supply — are not correcting in 2026. In 12 of 16 cities, buyers who have waited 12 months have paid more, not less. The exception is the moderate-inventory cities (Reedsport, Coos Bay, North Bend, Tillamook) where buyers have more leverage.
Two identically-priced homes in different counties can have monthly PITI differences of $200–$400. Curry County's 0.42% rate vs. Lincoln County's 0.89% rate on a $460,000 home is a $217/month difference — $2,600/year — for the life of the mortgage. Run the full PITI, not just the purchase price.
In most Oregon Coast cities, a buyer's monthly PITI is lower than available market rent — and with near-zero rental vacancy in most cities, renting isn't always even an option. Buyers locking in at today's rates get fixed-cost stability that renters in this market can't access.
The numbers in this report reflect market averages as of June 2026. Your actual monthly payment depends on your credit score, down payment, and the specific property — and rates change daily. I can give you a precise, personalized payment scenario for any city on this list in one conversation.
