Detached-home sales in Troutdale were overwhelmingly concentrated among homes with two or two-and-a-half bathrooms during 2024 and 2025. While bathroom counts ranged from one bathroom to four-and-a-half bathrooms, the typical detached home sold during the study period contained approximately two-and-a-half bathrooms.
The table below compares key bathroom-count metrics across both years.
| Category | 2024 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average # of Bathrooms | 2.34 | 2.27 | -3.05% |
| Median # of Bathrooms | 2.50 | 2.50 | No Change |

Note: Half bathrooms were converted to 0.5 bathrooms for analytical purposes. For example, a home with two full bathrooms and one half bathroom is reported as 2.5 bathrooms in this study.
The average number of bathrooms declined slightly from 2.34 in 2024 to 2.27 in 2025, while the median remained unchanged at 2.5 bathrooms. The largest home sold in 2025 contained 4.5 bathrooms, while the smallest detached-home sale contained a single bathroom.
The chart below shows where detached-home sales were concentrated by bathroom count during 2024 and 2025.
Bathroom counts were highly concentrated. Two-bathroom homes accounted for 93 sales, while two-and-a-half-bathroom homes accounted for 99 sales. Together, these two categories represented the vast majority of detached-home activity during the study period.
The table below summarizes each bathroom-count category and includes the number of sales as well as average close price, home size, construction era, and lot size.

The market was overwhelmingly concentrated. Two- and two-and-a-half-bathroom homes accounted for 192 of 235 sales, or 81.70% of all detached-home transactions during the study period. Two-and-a-half-bathroom homes alone represented 42.13% of the Troutdale market.
Average close price generally increased as bathroom counts increased. Two-bathroom homes had an average close price of $477,304, while two-and-a-half-bathroom homes averaged $515,871. Homes with three or more bathrooms generally featured higher average close price, although sales counts became much smaller in those categories.
Although the difference between two and two-and-a-half bathrooms may appear modest on the surface, the underlying housing stock differs substantially. Two-bathroom homes averaged 1,446 square feet, while two-and-a-half-bathroom homes averaged 1,937 square feet, a difference of nearly 500 square feet. By comparison, the size differences between adjacent categories were much smaller, with the difference between a one-and-a-half-bathroom home and a two bathroom home being only 49 square feet on average. Likewise, the gap between a two-and-a-half bathroom home and a three-bathroom home only averaged 85 square feet.
Two-and-a-half-bathroom homes also skewed newer than two-bathroom homes, averaging a 1996 construction date compared with 1986 for two-bathroom homes. This pattern reinforces findings from previous studies showing that homes built during later development cycles tended to be larger and offer additional amenities. For buyers, choosing a two-and-a-half-bathroom home often meant stepping into a newer and substantially larger segment of the Troutdale housing stock rather than simply gaining an additional half bathroom.
Troutdale’s detached-home market was overwhelmingly concentrated among two- and two-and-a-half-bathroom homes, with 2.5-bathroom homes representing the most common configuration.
