Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lafayette real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Over the past year, Lafayette’s typical home value has slipped 5.7 percent to about $455,000, even as values in nearby Yamhill County are around $465,000 with a steeper 10.58 percent yearly decline. Year over year, buyers have also seen much slower activity, with pending sales down 30 percent and new listings down 57.14 percent.
In the most recent data for March 2026, prices have ticked up month over month, with the typical home value rising 3.42 percent and the median list price near $447,000. Homes are taking time to sell at a median of 97 days on market despite that being down 28.15 percent from the prior month, and tight supply at only 10 active listings and 1.4 months of supply favors sellers.
Looking ahead to April 2026, projections show the typical home value edging up to about $462,520 and the median list price near $448,760, while inventory is expected to dip further to roughly 7 homes. With only 14.29 percent of recent sales closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio of about 0.97, buyers still have some room to negotiate while sellers benefit from limited competition in this clear seller’s market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a knowledgeable local agent to navigate these conditions and make the most of today’s Lafayette market.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
