The market was overwhelmingly concentrated. Three- and four-bedroom homes accounted for 228 of 235 sales, or 97.02% of all detached-home transactions during the study period. Three-bedroom homes alone represented 70.21% of the Troutdale market.
Home size and average close price generally increased as bedroom counts increased. Three-bedroom homes averaged 1,587 square feet and an average close price of $489,267, while four-bedroom homes averaged 2,056 square feet and an average close price of $528,396. Five-bedroom homes averaged 2,565 square feet and an average close price of $614,250, although that category included only six sales.
Four-bedroom homes also skewed slightly newer than three-bedroom homes, averaging a 1994 construction date compared with 1987 for three-bedroom homes. This finding aligns with previous analyses showing that homes built during later development cycles tended to be larger than older housing stock.
Troutdale’s detached-home market was overwhelmingly concentrated among three- and four-bedroom homes, with three-bedroom homes representing the dominant bedroom count.
