Beaverton, Oregon Housing Market Update:
A Look at the Last Two WeeksHey everyone, it’s Shawn the Realtor Guy here from Portland, Oregon. If you’re tuning in via my YouTube channel or stumbling upon this blog, welcome!
Today, I’m diving into the Beaverton housing market to give you a quick pulse check on what’s been happening over the past two weeks. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or just curious about real estate trends in the Portland metro area, this should give you some solid insights. Let’s break it down.
Current Market Stats: By the Numbers
Right now, there are about 188 active listings in Beaverton. That’s a relatively small inventory, which could signal limited options for buyers. In the last two weeks alone:
- 34 homes went under contract.
- 29 homes officially sold.
Doing the quick math, that means roughly 1.5 to 2 out of every 10 homes are getting offers. Is this a fast-paced market? Not really—it’s actually moving pretty slowly. In a healthy, bustling market, I’d love to see something like 5 out of 10 homes going under contract. That would indicate stronger demand and quicker turnarounds. Fingers crossed things pick up soon because, hey, we all want to get people into homes, right?
A Unique Twist in Beaverton Pricing
Beaverton stands out a bit from the other markets I’ve covered in my videos (like those on the east side of Multnomah County). In most areas, the pending sale prices are higher than the final sold prices, which is a good sign of upward momentum. But here in Beaverton, it’s the opposite—and honestly, that worries me a tad, especially since I just listed a home in the area. Speaking of which, let me share a quick spotlight on my latest listing. It’s a fantastic 2016-built home, clocking in at nearly 2,000 square feet. The previous owners kept it spotless, so it feels almost brand new. We priced it competitively within the market, and I suspect it’ll move quickly—but you never know until it happens! If you know a potential buyer or want to check it out yourself, I’ll drop the link at the end of this post (complete with photos and a video tour).
Back to the data: The sold price as a percentage of the original list price is sitting at 96.57%. That’s mediocre—not terrible, but not exciting either. It doesn’t raise major red flags for me. What does concern me a bit is the price per square foot coming in around $284 (though reports from places like Altos or Redfin might show it closer to $300). On the flip side, the average list price per square foot across those 188 active listings is right around $300. This tells me Beaverton sellers aren’t messing around—they’re pricing realistically to attract buyers and get deals done. Motivation is high!
Predictions and What Didn’t Sell
Looking ahead, my gut tells me we’ll see some positive shifts in the next 2 to 4 weeks. Specifically, I predict the pending prices will flip and start trending higher than the sold prices. The current numbers are on the low side, so there’s room for an upward jump as the market gains steam.On the flip side, not everything is selling. In the last two weeks:
- 4 listings were withdrawn (sellers pulling them off to relist later, maybe with tweaks).
- 8 were canceled (could mean a change of heart, waiting a year or two, or switching agents).
- 16 expired without selling.
If you’re in that boat—dealing with an expired listing and interviewing new agents—give me a call! Helping sellers in these situations is one of my specialties. I’ve turned around plenty of “stuck” properties and gotten them sold. Reach me at 503-515-4499.
How Beaverton Stacks Up and Final Thoughts
Compared to hotter spots like the east side of Multnomah County, where 40-50% of listings are moving, Beaverton isn’t performing as strongly right now. But markets fluctuate, and I’m optimistic it’ll improve. I’ll circle back with another update in about three weeks to keep you posted.If you’re in the Portland metro area and want more real estate insights, hit that subscribe button on my YouTube channel or bookmark this blog.
