Report: Majority of Metro Areas Saw Home Prices Increase in Q2
It’s always fascinating to watch the national housing landscape shift, and this past quarter didn’t disappoint: over 80% of metro markets saw home prices increase in Q2 2026, with the national median climbing 1.5% to $434,900. The South led the way in sales growth, and while mortgage rates hovered in the mid-6% range, inventory and affordability continued to be hurdles—especially for first-time buyers. As someone who’s spent three decades helping Portlanders navigate our own unique market, I know firsthand how these big-picture trends can influence local opportunities and challenges. Each neighborhood in the Greater Portland area has its own rhythm, and understanding how national shifts play out here is key to making smart, informed decisions. Whether you’re considering your first home or your next, it’s all about tailoring the approach to your goals and the current landscape. My focus has always been on listening, advising, and helping clients make sense of the numbers—because in the end, success is measured by your satisfaction and happiness.

AI Housing Predictions: Help or Hidden Influence?
The rise of AI in real estate is both fascinating and complex. AI models can now process immense amounts of information—everything from mortgage rates to neighborhood dynamics and even online buzz—spotting trends that often fly under the radar. These tools can empower buyers and sellers here in Portland by highlighting future hot spots, guiding pricing strategies, and even recommending renovation choices, all with the aim of instilling greater confidence in big decisions.

But as someone who’s spent decades helping Portlanders navigate our unique and diverse neighborhoods, I know that trust and transparency remain paramount. Many AI models operate behind the scenes, delivering bold predictions with little explanation, which can raise concerns about hidden biases in the data they’re trained on. And as these technologies gain wider use, there’s a real possibility that their influence could ripple through the market—shaping investor, lender, and buyer behavior, and perhaps even amplifying the ups and downs we see in local trends.

Whether you’re buying or selling in a dynamic city like ours, it’s important to remember that while data-driven tools are valuable, true success in real estate comes from collaboration, education, and a human touch. That’s always been my approach: combining the best available information with a commitment to understanding your goals and keeping your interests at the center of every decision.
