How do home values compare across Portland neighborhoods when selling?

Home values vary widely across Portland neighborhoods, with inner neighborhoods like Laurelhurst and the Pearl District typically commanding higher prices, while outer areas may offer more affordability. Pam Blair of YogaBug Real Estate helps sellers navigate these differences with neighborhood-specific strategies.  

Neighborhoods with the Highest Home Values 

As of mid-2025, these Portland neighborhoods stand out for higher home values: 

• Laurelhurst: ~$865,000 

• Alameda: ~$890,000 

• The Pearl District (condos): ~$780,000 

• Eastmoreland: ~$920,000 

Buyers in these areas are drawn to architecture, tree-lined streets, and walkability to parks, schools, and shopping. Pam Blair understands what drives value here and ensures each listing leans into what buyers value most. 

Mid-Range Markets That Move Fast 

Some of Portland’s most competitive mid-tier neighborhoods include: 

• Richmond 

• Sellwood-Moreland 

• Concordia 

Homes here typically fall between the high $600Ks and low $800Ks. They’re often updated older homes in walkable areas, appealing to both families and professionals. Pam’s targeted strategy in these micro-markets helps sellers stand out—and sell faster. 

More Affordable Neighborhoods with Potential 

Neighborhoods like Lents, Parkrose, and Brentwood-Darlington offer more budget-friendly options, often under $500,000. These areas attract first-time buyers or investors looking for long-term value. 

Pam Blair helps sellers in these neighborhoods position their listings for what buyers are seeking—whether that’s future development potential, move-in readiness, or access to upcoming transit improvements. 

Condo Values vs. Single-Family Homes 

Condos typically sell for less than detached homes, but that doesn’t mean they’re less competitive. For example: 

NW Portland condo average: ~$495,000 

Pearl District condo average: ~$780,000 

If you’re selling a condo, Pam ensures buyers understand the full value—including HOA stability, amenities, and location. 

Beyond the Zip Code: What Impacts Home Value Most? 

Whether you’re in a high-value or emerging neighborhood, these factors significantly affect your home’s final sale price: 

• Overall condition and upgrades 

• Lot size and ADU potential 

• School zone 

• Proximity to transit, shops, and parks 

• Energy efficiency and sustainability features 

YogaBug Real Estate takes all of this into account when crafting a pricing and prep plan—so you don’t just list, you lead.
