The Corvallis housing market is steady. More homes are available. Prices are holding near recent levels.
Aug 2025 data shows a balanced market:
- Median sales price: $445,000
- Median days on market: 66
- Sellers received 98.8% of list price
- Months of supply: 4.1
Homes are taking longer to sell than in 2024, when many sold in less than a month. Buyers now have time to compare properties. They can view several options before making an offer. Sellers are still getting strong prices, but they need to present their homes well and set realistic pricing.
Higher inventory is the main shift. More listings in all price ranges are competing for the same pool of buyers. This means buyers are less pressured to rush. It also means sellers need to stand out from the competition.
If you are selling:
- Base your price on sales from the last 60 days
- Make sure the home is clean, repaired, and staged before listing
- Work with an agent who follows current neighborhood trends, not old market conditions
If you are buying:
- Do not assume multiple offers will happen on every home
- Look at listings that have been active for more than 30 days for negotiation potential
- Get pre-approved so you can make an offer quickly when the right home appears
A balanced market gives both sides room to make strategic decisions. Using current numbers is the key to a strong outcome.
