Detached homes accounted for the overwhelming majority of residential sales activity in Troutdale during 2025. Total residential dollar volume across all tracked housing segments reached approximately $64.2 million, with detached homes representing more than 93% of all sales and nearly 95% of total dollar volume. Attached homes and condominiums represented a relatively small share of the market, while no manufactured homes on owned land sold during the year. The following sections examine each segment in greater detail.
Detached Homes
Detached homes represent the largest and most active residential housing segment in Troutdale. Because detached properties accounted for more than 9 out of 10 sales during 2025, this segment provides the clearest view of local market conditions.
Detached Homes Market Statistics
The following table compares detached-home sales activity occurring within Troutdale city limits during 2024 and 2025. Metrics include sales volume, pricing, property characteristics, marketing times, and affordability.

Single-Family Detached Residential | 2024 & 2025
Data: RMLS | PortlandAppraisalBlog.com
Detached-home sales activity increased during 2025, with total sales rising from 112 to 123 and total dollar volume increasing 6.51% to approximately $60.9 million. Despite stronger sales activity, both average and median sale prices declined modestly, while average days on market increased just 3 days, from 39 to 42 days. Buyers also gained slightly more negotiating leverage, with the average sale-to-original-list-price ratio declining from 99.27% to 98.09%.
The typical detached home sold during 2025 was somewhat smaller and slightly older than in 2024, while average price per square foot increased modestly. No new detached-home construction sales were recorded in either year, reinforcing Troutdale’s role as a largely resale-driven housing market. HOA participation remained a minority characteristic of the detached market, though the share of detached-home sales reporting HOA dues increased from approximately 21% in 2024 to 29% in 2025.
Detached Homes Sales by Price Range
The following table summarizes detached-home sales occurring within Troutdale city limits during 2025 by price range. In addition to sales volume, the table highlights the typical size and age of homes sold within each price band.
| Price Band | # of Sales | Avg Price | Avg Total SF | Avg Yr Blt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 400k | 5 | $374,000 | 1,402 | 1963 |
| 400K – 499K | 71 | $456,145 | 1,497 | 1987 |
| 500K – 599K | 39 | $535,768 | 1,901 | 1992 |
| 600K – 699K | 4 | $667,221 | 2,297 | 2006 |
| 700K – 799K | 2 | $720,500 | 3,350 | 2005 |
| 800k+ | 2 | $832,500 | 3,252 | 1906 |
Single-Family Detached Residential | 2025
Data: RMLS | PortlandAppraisalBlog.com
Troutdale’s detached-home market was concentrated in the middle price ranges during 2025. More than 89% of detached-home sales occurred between $400,000 and $599,999, with the $400,000-$499,999 range alone accounting for 71 of 123 sales. As sale prices increased, average home size generally increased as well, from approximately 1,500 square feet in the $400,000-$499,999 range to more than 3,200 square feet in the $700,000+ ranges.
While most sales occurred in homes built during the 1980s and 1990s, the two highest-priced detached-home sales were very different properties. One involved a nearly four-acre mixed-use development site along the Sandy River with an older home contributing little to overall value, while the other was a large historic residence with more than 5,000 square feet of living area and an accessory dwelling unit. These sales illustrate how Troutdale’s highest-priced properties can derive value from factors such as land, development potential, size, and unique property characteristics rather than age alone.
Detached Homes Affordability
The following table summarizes detached-home affordability in Troutdale during 2024 and 2025 using PABAI. In addition to the number and percentage of affordable sales, the table reports the highest affordable sale, the average sale price of affordable homes, and the average household income required to purchase those homes under prevailing market conditions at the time of sale.
| Category | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affordable Sales | 7 | 43 | +36 homes |
| % Affordable | 6.25% | 34.96% | +28.71 pts |
| Highest Affordable Sale | $480,000 | $474,900 | -1.06% |
| Avg Price | $409,080 | $431,612 | +5.51% |
| Avg Required Income | $108,737 | $114,232 | +$5,494.37 |
Detached-home affordability improved substantially during 2025. The number of affordable detached-home sales increased from 7 to 43, while the share of affordable sales increased from 6.25% to 34.96% of the market. Interestingly, the highest affordable detached-home sale remained relatively unchanged, declining only slightly from $480,000 to $474,900.
As shown above, mortgage rates were generally higher throughout much of 2024 than 2025. Combined with modest declines in detached-home prices, lower financing costs expanded the number of homes meeting the affordability standard even though the highest affordable detached-home sale changed very little.
The average affordable detached home sold for $431,612 during 2025 and required an estimated household income of approximately $114,232. While affordability remained far from universal, Troutdale offered substantially more attainable detached-home ownership opportunities in 2025 than in the prior year.
Attached Homes
Attached homes represent a small but distinct segment of Troutdale’s housing market. While sales activity is limited compared with detached homes, attached housing can provide an ownership alternative for buyers seeking lower-maintenance living or a smaller land component.
Attached Homes Market Statistics
The following table compares attached-home sales activity occurring within Troutdale city limits during 2024 and 2025. Due to the limited number of sales, the results are best viewed as descriptive measures of market activity rather than indicators of broader market trends.
| Category | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total $ Volume | $2,662,500 | $2,652,800 | -0.36% |
| Average Price | $443,750 | $378,971 | -14.60% |

Single-Family Attached Residential | 2024 & 2025
Data: RMLS | PortlandAppraisalBlog.com
Attached-home sales represented a small portion of Troutdale’s residential market in both years, with only seven sales recorded during 2025. Despite the limited number of transactions, attached homes consistently contributed approximately $2.65 million in annual residential dollar volume during both 2024 and 2025.
Pricing measures, including average sale price, price per square foot, and sale-to-list-price ratio, were all lower in 2025 than in 2024. Because the attached-home market consists of a very small number of transactions, year-to-year changes are often skewed by compositional differences among the sales.
Attached Homes Affordability
The following table summarizes attached-home affordability in Troutdale during 2024 and 2025 using PABAI.
| Category | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affordable Sales | 4 | 6 | +2 homes |
| % Affordable | 66.67% | 85.71% | +19.04 pts |
| Highest Affordable Sale | $420,000 | $405,000 | -3.57% |
| Avg Price | $406,250 | $368,800 | -9.22% |
| Avg Required Income | $111,482 | $104,015 | -$7,466.98 |
Attached homes remained one of Troutdale’s most affordable ownership options during both years analyzed. Six of seven attached-home sales met the PABAI affordability standard during 2025, compared with four of six sales during 2024. The average required household income fell from approximately $111,000 to $104,000; largely due to lower average sales prices in 2025 compared to the previous year.
Because the attached-home market consists of only a handful of transactions each year, affordability results should be interpreted cautiously. Nevertheless, the segment consistently provided ownership opportunities at lower price points than the detached-home market, with a large majority of sales meeting the affordability standard in both years.
Condominiums
Condominiums represent a very small segment of Troutdale’s residential market. Like attached homes, due to the limited number of sales, the results are best viewed as descriptive measures of market activity rather than indicators of broader market trends.
Condominium Housing Market Statistics
The following table compares condominium sales activity occurring within Troutdale city limits during 2024 and 2025.
| Category | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total $ Volume | $1,804,900 | $665,000 | -63.16% |
| Average Price | $360,980 | $332,500 | -7.89% |
| Median Price | $347,000 | $332,500 | -4.18% |
| Avg SP/OLP | 95.68% | 95.65% | -0.03 pts |
| Avg PPSF (TSF) | $223.12 | $226.84 | +1.67% |
| Avg HOA Dues | $357.60 | $415.00 | +16.05% |
| Avg Total SF | 1,634 | 1,467 | -10.20% |

| Total # of Sales | 5 | 2 | -60.00% |
| # of New Constr. | 0 | 0 | — |
| # Affordable | 4 | 2 | -2 homes |
| % Affordable | 80.00% | 100.00% | +20.00 pts |
Condominium Residential | 2024 & 2025
Data: RMLS | PortlandAppraisalBlog.com
Condominium sales activity remained limited during both years, with only five sales recorded in 2024 and two sales recorded in 2025. While Troutdale contains several condominium communities, recent sales activity was concentrated in a small number of developments. Most of the condominium sales occurring during the period analyzed were located within the Edgefield Meadows community, a townhome-style condominium development.
Pricing remained relatively stable despite the limited number of transactions. Average price per square foot changed very little between years. All condominium sales reported HOA dues, with average monthly dues increasing from approximately $358 to $415. Because the condominium market consists of only a handful of transactions each year, changes in individual metrics strongly reflect the mix of unit sales.
Condominium Housing Affordability
The following table summarizes condominium affordability in Troutdale during 2024 and 2025 using PABAI.
| Category | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affordable Sales | 4 | 2 | -2 homes |
| % Affordable | 80.00% | 100.00% | +20.00 pts |
| Highest Affordable Sale | $394,000 | $350,000 | -11.17% |
| Avg Price | $346,225 | $332,500 | -3.96% |
| Avg Required Income | $106,279 | $107,724 | +$1,445.28 |
Condominium affordability remained strong during both years analyzed. Four of five condominium sales met the PABAI affordability standard during 2024, while both condominium sales recorded during 2025 qualified as affordable. Average affordable sale prices remained in the mid-$300,000 range, while the average required household income remained relatively stable near $106,000 to $108,000.
Because condominium activity in Troutdale is limited, affordability results are heavily influenced by the specific units that sell during a given year. Nevertheless, the available data indicate that condominiums remained among the city’s more attainable ownership options during both years analyzed.

Key Takeaways
Troutdale’s housing market is, for practical purposes, a detached-home market. Detached homes accounted for the overwhelming majority of residential sales activity during 2025 and remain the property type that most clearly defines local housing conditions.
The city’s housing stock is primarily composed of resale housing rather than new homes. No new construction detached-home sales were recorded during either 2024 or 2025. Among detached-home sales occurring during the two-year period, construction dates ranged from 1893 to 2022, with the average home built in 1989.
While attached homes and condominiums provide alternative ownership opportunities, both segments remain relatively small and generate limited annual transaction volume compared with detached housing. For buyers looking to take advantage of their comparatively lower prices, such units do not come on the market very often and may require patience.
For buyers seeking a balance between affordability, access to the Portland Region, and proximity to outdoor recreation, Troutdale remains a community worth considering. Located at the gateway to the Columbia River Gorge, the city offers a housing market that remains more attainable than many higher-priced areas within the metropolitan region.
