Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kenton real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Kenton currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 8 out of 10. Typical home values sit around $456,000, noticeably lower than Portland’s $523,862. Inventory is relatively tight with just 22 homes for sale, helping keep conditions in sellers’ favor.
Shorter selling timelines are a big part of the story. Homes spend a median of only 15 days on the market, down about 32 percent from last month and roughly 67 percent lower than a year ago, so properties are moving much faster than they used to.
Pricing trends show a mix of stability and slight softening. The typical home value is flat month over month, while the median list price edged down about 0.4 percent to $457,950, and roughly 38 percent of recent sales closed above the list price with an average sale-to-list ratio of about 1.01. New listings, at 36 for the month, are down around 3 percent year over year, and inventory has dropped nearly 19 percent since last month but is still more than 22 percent higher than a year ago. Looking ahead to April 2026, inventory is projected to dip to 19 listings and the median list price to hover near $456,975, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers. Whether buyers are trying to compete effectively or sellers want to make the most of this seller’s market, Agent Pronto can connect them with a local Kenton expert to guide the process.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
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.
Whether you are planning a first purchase, upsizing, or considering a move out of Kenton, Agent Pronto connects you with a real estate agent who understands the neighborhood’s pace, pricing, and timing for both buyers and sellers.
