U.S. cities entering a now-or-never moment for homebuyers
We're seeing a notable shift across U.S. cities: median listing prices per square foot have dropped by 1.8% nationwide for the tenth month in a row. For homebuyers, this means more opportunities, especially as inventory rises in areas that were once considered boomtowns. While higher mortgage rates and market uncertainty are causing many buyers to pause, sellers are responding by lowering prices. In my experience serving Oregon and Washington, clear communication and local expertise make all the difference in navigating these adjustments. If you're considering buying or selling in communities like Estacada, Sandy, or Gresham, understanding current market corrections and timing can help you make confident choices. At Gene Farr Homes, my goal is to make real estate easy and straightforward, no matter where the market stands.

Oregon Home Equity Dominates Household Wealth
It’s interesting to see that in Oregon, the median homeowner holds $270K in home equity—outpacing the state’s median household net worth of $248.9K. This places Oregon among the top ten states where property makes up the lion’s share of household wealth. As someone who’s spent years helping neighbors in Estacada, Sandy, and beyond navigate their real estate journeys, I see firsthand how owning a home can really bolster your financial foundation. Still, when most of your wealth is tied up in real estate, it can limit your options for other financial moves—like refinancing, downsizing, or even diversifying your assets. The lesson for all of us in Oregon: strong housing markets can help you build serious equity, but it’s also worth considering how much of your financial picture is wrapped up in your home. Real estate decisions carry long-term impact—so a straightforward, informed approach makes all the difference.

First-time homebuyers could get $50,000 under new bill
There’s talk of a new bill that could offer first-time homebuyers up to $50,000 in federal matching funds for their down payment—a significant 5-to-1 match. The proposal requires homebuyer counseling and limits purchases to homes at the median price point. While some believe this could provide real relief for buyers, others worry it might push prices up without actually increasing the number of homes available. As someone who’s helped buyers across Estacada, Sandy, and the surrounding areas make sense of changing policies, I know how much impact even a small shift in financing options can have on your path to homeownership. My goal is to keep you informed so you can approach every step—from budgeting to negotiations—with confidence. Real Estate Made Easy with Gene Farr.

Housing Data Gives Buyers More Leverage
Recent housing data is giving buyers a bit more leverage in today’s market. In late Q3, about 21% of active listings saw price cuts, and inventory topped 1.16 million homes—just within 9% of where we were before the pandemic. Even so, many buyers are staying cautious, with homes under contract down around 4% year-over-year for the second month in a row. Higher mortgage costs are still making affordability a challenge for many families. The national median list price sits at about $419,000, down 1% month-over-month and year-over-year, continuing an 11-month stretch of annual declines. We’re also seeing the price per square foot down about 2% compared to last year. Notably, sellers are still active, with roughly 6% of listings delisted—holding steady from last year—while more owners are reducing their prices and opening up the door for negotiation. The next big question? Whether deeper price cuts will spark more contract signings, or if increased supply and softer demand will keep this adjustment period going. As always, having the right guidance on pricing and negotiation can make a real difference. At Gene Farr Homes, we’re here to help clients in Estacada, Sandy, Rhododendron, Gresham, and neighboring areas move forward with clarity and confidence—Real Estate Made Easy.

New Homes Offer Better Value Nationwide
It’s not often we see new construction priced below existing homes, but that’s exactly what’s happening across the country—newly built homes now have a median sale price of $205 per square foot, edging out the $212 per square foot for resale properties. This shift is showing up in about a third of major US markets, a big change from the usual trend where new homes were priced at a premium. What’s driving this? Builders, especially in areas where inventory has grown, are getting more flexible with pricing and incentives to stay competitive. If you’ve been on the fence about new construction, now might be the time to take a closer look—especially in communities with plenty of options and more room to negotiate. It’s a clear sign that boosting housing supply leads to better affordability overall, even as we keep an eye on how permitting might affect that progress. As always, understanding local trends is key, and I’m here to keep the process straightforward and stress-free for buyers and sellers in Estacada, Sandy, Rhododendron, Gresham, and beyond.
