Portland belongs in this affordability tier and was listed here until August 2026, but we withdrew its figures: the public sources disagree with each other for the same month, and on whether its prices rose or fell year over year. Figures below are carried directly from public-aggregator snapshots (Redfin, Zillow, Movoto, and local sources) with an inline source and as-of date on every number — no figure is estimated or predicted.
