July 2025
National headlines talk rates and headlines — this month’s Lane County numbers tell a quieter, local story. Under the surface, neighborhood-level differences are shaping outcomes: some pockets are holding premiums, others are giving buyers room to negotiate.
This Month's Review
County snapshot: median list price sits at $535,000, with 911 active listings and a county median DOM of 56 days. Notably, 47% of listings saw price reductions this month, while only 1% increased — a clear signal sellers are recalibrating. Per-square-foot pricing across the county averages $305, and median rent is about $2,245, which continues to support demand from renters considering ownership.
South University closed at 100.4% of list with an average sold price near $1,263,125 and a median DOM of 64.5 days — slightly slower than the county median but still capturing above-list outcomes, suggesting targeted buyer interest for well-positioned homes.
Amazon recorded 104.6% sold-to-list and a 38-day DOM — a compact market where buyers compete strongly when the right home appears.
Fairmont averaged 93.7% of list with a 67-day DOM, indicating more negotiating room relative to the county baseline.
Crest North (99.4% / 48.5 DOM) and SE Eugene North (101% / 45 DOM) trend near or slightly better than county pace, while Crest South (100.2% / 77.5 DOM) shows above-list closes but longer selling windows — a mix that favors thoughtful pricing and presentation.
SE Eugene South posts a 99.8% sold-to-list with a 35-day DOM — faster turnover without a large premium.
Taken together, this month’s data shows real divergence: premium demand concentrated in specific pockets, while many sellers are responding to softer local competition with price adjustments.
Call to Action
The real advantage belongs to those who recognize market patterns before everyone else. This month shows that location, presentation, and precise pricing from day one are what truly determine your final sale price and time on market.
Your Realtor's Take
I watch these micro-markets because this is where wealth is built—not in the averages, but in the nuances. The most successful clients I’ve worked with in Eugene know that timing, location, and presentation are a trifecta you can control.
