2026 isn't about chasing double-digit appreciation; it's about the "Great Housing Reset." We’re seeing a shift from frenzy to a balanced market, with a focus on affordability and a quality-of-life dividend for buyers. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: We're seeing inventory levels rise slightly, particularly for entry-level single-family homes in Medford, allowing for more strategic offers and a potential for improved cash flow compared to recent years. Cities like Grants Pass are projected for stable single-digit growth in property values this year, making them an excellent choice for long-term holds. Market Note: Local demand remains strong, particularly in the mid-range of $450k to $650k, making it a critical sweet spot for investors focused on both rental demand and resale value.
