Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Kenton currently leans toward a seller’s market, with the local gauge at 19. Inventory is relatively tight at 2.1 months of supply, well below Portland’s 3.6 months. Homes are moving at a median of 18 days on market in this rolling three-month view, showing buyers are still acting quickly.
Prices have eased compared with a year ago, which helps explain the shift in dynamics. The typical home value over the last three months is down about 7 percent year over year, while the median list price is down roughly 9 percent. Even with softer pricing, activity has held fairly steady, with homes sold up slightly from a year ago and active listings rising about 11 percent, giving buyers more options than they had last fall.
Despite more choices, bidding pressure has cooled only somewhat. About 37 percent of recent sales closed above asking, and the average sale-to-list ratio is still just over 100 percent, which means many sellers are receiving offers near or above their list price. Compared with last year, the share of homes selling above list is lower and supply is higher, so buyers may find a bit more negotiating room while sellers can still benefit from solid demand. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these trends and how to navigate them.

Kenton offers residents a welcoming, walkable community with independent shops, green space, frequent neighborhood events, and easy transit access, creating a lively yet close-knit atmosphere.
Kenton stands out from other North Portland neighborhoods with its small-town main street feel anchored by the iconic Paul Bunyan statue and a close-knit community that shows up for local events. The walkable core along Denver Avenue offers independent spots like Posies Bakery & Cafe, Cup & Bar and neighborhood favorite Pizza Creature, all a short trip from downtown Portland on the MAX Yellow Line at Kenton/N Denver Station.
Residential streets feature a mix of early 1900s cottages, classic Portland foursquares, and newer infill homes. Proximity to North Portland Library and Peninsula Park adds everyday convenience, while nearby St. Johns and Overlook expand dining and commuting options. Outdoor lovers appreciate Kenton Park for playgrounds and open fields, as well as easy access to Columbia Park and the rest of North Portland.
Kenton’s identity is strongly community driven, with neighborhood cleanups, local markets, and an active Kenton Neighborhood Association helping guide growth while preserving character. Homes here can move quickly, especially those near transit and amenities, so buyers benefit from clear priorities and fast, informed offers. Sellers who prepare thoughtfully and price with current data in mind are well positioned in this competitive pocket of Portland.

“I appreciated Gary's professionalism and insight when marketing my home. He provided the names of professional service companies when needed. Was promp in responding to my questions and consistent in sharing details about my sale. I would feel confident in recommending Gary Musgrove to others.”
“Danny was amazing to work with. We are relocating to Camas from the other side of the country, and he showed a great deal of patience with us. Showing several homes on a Sunday on short notice with great insights for us. When we found the home we wanted to purchase he made a video of the home for us because we were not able to see it in person before banking an offer and inspection. Danny is also a genuinely nice person and was very helpful throughout the entire process.”
“Moving from Arizona we knew there would be challenges but Jordan made it so much easier for us. The inspections she helped get set up, her recommendations and professionalism makes her a stand out in the Reality business. Jordan called or sent us a text with every step of the process. She would be the first person we would recommend to anyone.”
“Great experience. Very responsive. Help with loan and title company. Setup inspection company and stayed during inspection. Great communication. Stayed on top of all the steps in the process. Follow up after all was finalized.”
“Michael did an excellent job with our search for the right property. Having grown up in the area and with years of experience, he was able to give good advice on schools, neighborhood and other influences. He knows the market and provided the data to allow us to negotiate a good deal on the house we purchased. He also assisted with inspections and contractors. I would recommend Michael Green to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Portland area. He was on top of all aspects of the deal and stayed in communication through out.”
“Will and would, recommend Jimmy Robinson to all people looking for an agent ! Very personalable. Fast responses is an understatement. An other plus, his photographer is outstanding! Of course his fee being one and one half percent helped. Thank you Jimmy Robinson JT - RS”

Here are just a few of the things that made us confident in our choice to work with Bryan: He provided expert market research to inform our decisions He gave us a realistic understanding of the current market and what to expect He marketed our unique, micro-ADU property perfectly to its niche market Most importantly, we felt understood by Bryan, knowing that he had internalized our preferences and best interests. We knew we could trust him to communicate on our behalf and represent us accurately.”

“Five-Star Service from a True Professional. As a veteran, I cannot recommend Troy highly enough for his incredible dedication to helping the military community navigate the market. He recently handled the sale of our home in Vancouver, WA, putting us in the absolute best position with a strategic marketing plan that allowed us to sell our home much faster than expected. Throughout the entire process, Troy made us feel like we were his only clients, turning what could have been a stressful selling journey into an amazing, deeply personable, and seamless experience. I would absolutely recommend him to all of my friends and family.”
“My experience working with Brooklyn was nothing short of amazing! As a first-time homebuyer, she made the entire home-buying process easy and stress-free. She was extremely confident and professional when it came to negotiating and working things out with the seller. She always went above and beyond to make sure I understood every detail throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Highly recommended!”
“Jennifer is always a pleasure to work with, and does everything she can to be helpful and get the job done and get you what you want.

She is very professional, always available, has tons of contacts and connections in the area. Honestly cant think of any way she could have done better. I highly recommend Amy and her team.”
“Chrystal is a rock star! She saved me 39k on my home due to her expertise in putting in offers and repair negotiations. She was always happy to show me any home I was interested in and she got us into homes fast and at a moments notice. Most importantly, she’s awesome to work with, a real peach! She’s smart but down to earth and personable. Chrystal really wants to get you the best house for YOU and takes great note of the kinds of features you want and which are deal-breakers. She always reviewed systems of houses we visited and pointed out the good/bad/ugly so you’re informed. She’s incredibly thorough and fair and she wants to make sure you understand every move she makes so you’re on the same page. I can’t speak highly enough about her! Chrystal WILL get you the best house for you for the best price possible.”
