Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Hillside real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Inventory in Hillside has tightened, with just 12 homes available in February and a 33.33% drop from the prior month and a 50% decline from last year. At the same time, contract activity has accelerated, with 22 pending sales up 144.44% year over year while new listings slipped to 15, down 31.82%.
Prices are responding to this push and pull, with the typical home value at $830,000, still well above Portland’s $496,250 but down 21.33% from a year ago even after a sharp 56.6% monthly jump. Listing strategies are shifting too, as the median list price climbed to $1,050,000, up 31.58% month over month, while homes that sell are averaging about 98.1% of list price and only 16.67% are closing above asking.
Looking ahead to March 2026, projections point to further price firmness, with the typical home value expected around $980,000 and the median list price near $1,176,000 even as inventory is forecast to tighten to about 9 homes. With Hillside positioned as a Seller’s Market at gauge level 5 and median days on market at 60, slightly higher than last month but down 55.22% from a year ago, conditions are nuanced for both sides. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting numbers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Hillside’s dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Hillside offers residents a close-knit, walkable community with easy access to green spaces, reliable local amenities, and a neighborly, balanced pace that blends urban energy with thoughtful charm.
Hillside in Portland sits just above Northwest District and Goose Hollow, offering quick access to downtown while feeling quietly residential. Tree lined streets, mid century homes, and carefully designed condos step up the hill toward Forest Park, giving many residents territorial or city views along with everyday practicality.
Commuters appreciate how close Hillside is to central Portland. TriMet buses connect to the city core, and drivers can reach downtown or Washington Park in minutes. Everyday errands are simple with the shops and cafes of Northwest District and the Alphabet District nearby, including favorites along NW 23rd Avenue for groceries, dining, and services.
Outdoor access is a major draw. Forested trailheads into Forest Park sit right above the neighborhood, and MacLeay Park offers a quick escape into Balch Creek canyon. Families value proximity to schools such as Chapman Elementary, part of Portland Public Schools, and the cultural institutions at Portland’s West Hills foothills.
Parking, narrow streets, and hillside lots can make buying or upgrading a home here more complex, and pricing can vary block to block. A local Hillside agent who understands zoning, access routes, and micro market trends can help you weigh tradeoffs between views, yard space, and convenience, reducing stress at every step. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right Hillside specialist so your move feels informed and manageable.
