Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Centennial real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Centennial’s home values have inched up over the past year, rising about 1.23 percent year over year. That contrasts with broader Portland, where typical values of about $496,250 are down roughly 0.75 percent. Buyers looking in Centennial are seeing a more stable pricing trend than in the wider city.
In February 2026, the typical home value in Centennial was around $404,900, with a median list price close to $409,000. Homes spent a median of 40 days on the market, which is about 11.11 percent longer than a year ago and up 26.98 percent from the prior month, signaling that listings are taking more time to secure a contract. Inventory remained limited at just 33 homes, even after a 6.45 percent month-over-month increase and a 13.16 percent drop compared with last year, while 48 pending sales represented a 17.24 percent yearly decline.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected to edge up to about $407,350, and the median list price is expected to hover near $409,800, with inventory only nudging up to roughly 34 homes. Centennial is still classified as a seller’s market, supported by a market gauge of 7 and nearly 43.9 percent of homes recently selling above list, but slower sales and fewer new listings, down 34.92 percent year over year, give buyers a bit more room to negotiate. Whether you are aiming to get top dollar as a seller or secure the right home as a buyer, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Centennial agent who understands these conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Centennial offers residents a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere with abundant parks, local shops, family-friendly housing, and easy access to schools and transit, creating a lively yet comfortable everyday life.
Centennial in Portland stands out from nearby neighborhoods like Lents and Powellhurst-Gilbert with its quieter residential streets, larger yards, and strong sense of long-term residency. Many homes are classic mid-century ranches or modest newer builds, offering more space for the money compared with closer-in areas like Montavilla.
Daily life centers on local schools and parks. Families value access to Parklane Park, with its open fields and playgrounds, and the trails at Powell Butte Nature Park just to the south. Centennial residents frequently use the Gresham-Fairview Trail for biking and walking, and appreciate the community resources at Midland Library. Local schools, including Centennial High School, anchor neighborhood identity and draw households looking for stability.
Transit options along Division and Powell make commuting into Portland or Gresham workable, while daily needs are met at nearby shopping centers and smaller independent businesses. The area is in a period of gradual change, with increasing interest from buyers who want more space while staying connected to city amenities.
In Centennial, timing and preparation matter. Buyers who understand current competition and financing can move quickly on well-priced homes. Sellers who prepare their property carefully and price in line with recent activity are best positioned to benefit. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who knows Centennial’s market rhythms and trends.
