Oregon Coast Real Estate

Compared to other coastal areas such as California, the cost of Oregon Coast Real Estate is still affordable. Whether you want to relocate or buy a vacation home here, you’ll want to know about the local real estate market, which has changed in the last couple of years.

After the boom of 2004-2005, we’ve seen a considerable slow down, along with reduced prices and even an increase in foreclosures and short sales.

Property types vary from single family homes to condos, and from oceanfront to great ocean views, to secluded properties in the woods.

Oceanfront lots and ocean view parcels are available. Lots generally range from city size (50×100) to some harder to find but sought after Oregon Coast acreage.

As a general rule, the further south one travels, the lower the cost per square foot. The main reason for the price differential between the Oregon Coast towns is the proximity to Portland: the shorter time it takes to get to the coast, the more expensive real estate is. For example, Lincoln City is about 2 hours from Portland, while Newport is about 3 hours, and the prices reflect the difference.

Ocean view homes prices can vary widely, highly dependent on the “size” and quality of the views. Many offer a “peek” of the Mighty Pacific while others can offer wide, nearly 180 degrees ocean views.
