From February through April 2025, prices in most areas held steady or increased slightly:
- County-wide median for existing homes: $408,000
- Ashland rose to $551,000, despite a slowing in the rate of appreciation.

- Eagle Point experienced a large median price jump to $490,000 (+15.3% YoY).
- Phoenix and Shady Cove had fewer sales and more volatile pricing swings.

🏗️ New Construction Is Shifting

⌛ Days on Market Are Creeping Up
- County-wide median days on market for existing homes rose slightly from 21 to 23 days
- Some areas, like Shady Cove, saw extended time on market — over 100 days for new homes
📌 What this means: Homes are taking longer to sell in some areas, giving buyers more negotiation room and motivating sellers to price competitively.
🔑 Final Thoughts: What Buyers and Sellers Should Know
- Buyers: Now is a great time to explore — more listings mean more choice. Watch for motivated sellers in areas with rising inventory.
