Can You Still Afford to Buy a Home in Portland, Oregon in 2025?
Is buying a home in the Portland, Oregon Metro area in 2025 actually possible… or just plain frustrating? In this video, I break down today's affordability index, the real math behind a $500K home, and what buyers can do to get creative — even with high rates and tight budgets.
🎯 Whether you’re buying your first home or eyeing a move-up, this walkthrough covers:
-Why a $500K home costs ~$3,700/month today
-How buyers can use seller credits + buydowns to shift affordability
-What the 87 Affordability Index actually means in plain English
-Why some listings are mis-priced — and how to spot opportunity
If you're serious about buying or selling in 2025, this 36-minute session is full of real insight — not fluff.
📍 I work with buyers and sellers throughout Canby, Oregon City, Wilsonville, Molalla, and the North Willamette Valley.
