August 15, 2025 - 19:56

Mary Gilbert of the Mary Gilbert Group of Keller Williams Southern Oregon has provided insights into the current state of the local real estate market. As of mid-August 2025, the region is experiencing a dynamic shift in property values and buyer interest.

The latest data indicates a steady increase in home prices, attributed to a combination of low inventory and high demand. Many potential buyers are finding themselves in competitive bidding situations, which is driving prices higher. Additionally, interest rates remain relatively low, encouraging more individuals to enter the market.

However, some challenges persist, including a shortage of affordable housing options. This has prompted local authorities to explore initiatives aimed at increasing the availability of homes for first-time buyers. As the market continues to evolve, both buyers and sellers are advised to stay informed and work closely with real estate professionals to navigate these changes effectively.

Overall, the local real estate landscape remains vibrant, with opportunities for those ready to engage in this competitive environment.
