When are real estate prices expected to decrease in Lane County?

While a dramatic, widespread decrease in real estate prices across all of Lane County is not widely anticipated by experts, specific market segments or individual properties may experience price adjustments.

• Overpriced Listings: Homes that are initially listed above current market value in areas like Eugene or Springfield may need price reductions to attract buyers, especially with increased inventory. Data from June 2025 shows 43% of homes selling under asking price.
• Shifting Buyer Behavior: Higher interest rates have made buyers more cautious and less likely to engage in bidding wars for slightly overpriced properties, encouraging sellers to adjust expectations.

Increased Inventory: As more homes come onto the market, particularly in specific sub-markets, it can shift the balance of power slightly towards buyers, leading to more moderate price growth or even modest declines in specific niches.
