Southern Oregon Market Update – Week of August 3, 2026
BUYERS & SELLERS The 30-year fixed is holding in the mid-6.60s to high-6.70s, essentially flat from last week’s one-year high. No relief yet, but no further climb either. Grants Pass’s absorption rate, a measure of how fast homes are being bought up, actually improved: 4.93 months of supply in June, down from 5.79 a year ago. Prices softened, but inventory…

Southern Oregon Market Update – Week of July 6, 2026
BUYERS & SELLERS Grants Pass home values are averaging around $405,000. Jackson County median sale prices are running near $446,000, and Josephine County near $434,000. The two counties are pricing differently enough now that “Southern Oregon” is not one market, and buyers cross-shopping both should expect the comparison to be uneven. Homes are averaging about 38 days on the market…
