10 Newest, Best-Value Homes for Sale in Portland

The latest data from Fidelity National Title reveals that Portland is still seeing an inventory problem. However, while we can’t say we’re out of the woods yet, it has leveled off in recent weeks. This past week saw the largest percent increase in inventory since the fall – so good news for buyers: with any luck, inventory will continue to go up in 2021.

Until then, though, one of the best things you can do is make sure you are up on when houses come on the market. For this search, we specified homes that have come on the market in the past day. By saving this search and setting up alerts (see here for detailed instructions), you can be the first to know about every new listing.

Now let’s check out some homes! These are some of the newest homes to be listed as of Tuesday, March 16, organized according to price per square foot.

This one is a fixer for sure, but with huge potential. This property actually includes a separate small home in addition to a bungalow. Sold as-is, this home is likely not for the faint of heart. But for the right person – you could redesign this one into your personal dream oasis.

It’d be pretty hard to complain about this location either! Here in the heart of Richmond, you’re just steps from Hawthorne Blvd.’s eclectic shops, eateries, and bars. And yet this home would be just as, well, at home in a quieter part of the city. This lovingly updated Craftsman retains its historic charm, but ensure all the modern comforts of an inner Portland home. Outside, a huge deck and separate work space illustrate Portland’s dedication to quality of life to a tee.

And now for something completely different, in atmosphere at least. This home will make you feel like you’re vacationing in the Mediterranean. On top of that, consider that this particular street is sometimes referred to at the Hollywood Hills of the Northwest. Inside the elegance continues all the way out to a curved patio overlooking the Southwest hills, with views of the mountains.

#8 – 1625 NE 53rd Ave.

#8 - 1625 NE 53rd Ave.

A perfect starter home, this delightful house sits steps away from the desirable Hollywood District. But don’t let our description of it as a starter home fool you.

#9 – 1956 NW Everett St.

#9 - 1956 NW Everett St.

And now for a little more luxury. This listing is a real live inner city mansion, located among other historic homes.

#10 – 9255 SE Morrison St.

Finally, one of the newest homes on the market in Portland, as of this writing, is an investment opportunity. It’s likely the home will work, yes. But the real draw is location – so close to all of the shopping and amenities of Gateway Plaza and Mall 205, and just steps from Berrydale Park. This area, just steps from downtown Montavilla, will only be getting more desirable as time goes on. So you might want to hop on this opportunity while you can!
