2026 Portland Condo Guide

Request the reserve study, current budget, recent meeting minutes, and any pending special assessment notices. The guide rating compares relative value and carrying costs; assessment and litigation flags are shown separately.

In this analysis, 17 units carried active special assessment balances averaging about $29K. Always ask for current assessment status on the specific building; the color rating does not establish reserve funding.

The rating compares HOA-to-price, tax-to-price, price per square foot, and days on market across Portland buildings. Green means better relative value, yellow means review cost flags, and red means a higher cost burden; it does not grade reserve funding.

Yes. Median days on market was 67 in this dataset, average sold DOM was 106, and most closed sales finished below list. Patience and data-backed offers are well supported.
