Although we are only in the second month of 2025, the real estate market in Jackson County is seeing some interesting changes influenced by both local factors and broader economic trends. Here’s a friendly overview of what’s happening:
Market Trends:

Inventory Levels: There’s been a noticeable increase in available homes, with 1,375 currently on the market. This surge in options for buyers suggests a shift towards a more balanced market. For sellers, it means more competition, so homes may take a bit longer to sell.
Days on Market: Homes are now spending an average of 94 days on the market, showing that things are cooling down a bit compared to the more competitive atmosphere we’ve seen before. (fredstlouisfed.org)
Factors Influencing the Market:
Interest Rates: Higher interest rates are affecting what buyers can afford, contributing to the decrease in median sale prices. Understanding this can help you make smarter decisions in this evolving market.
Economic Conditions: Factors like employment rates and consumer confidence also significantly shape our local housing market.
Looking Ahead:
The real estate market in Southern Oregon is anticipated to stabilize as we progress through 2025. With more homes available and some sellers offering flexible pricing, buyers will likely discover more opportunities. This flexible pricing could include negotiation room on the listed price or additional incentives. On the other hand, sellers should be ready for longer listing times and may need to tweak their pricing strategies to match the current conditions. (realtor.com)
