Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Montavilla real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year over year, Montavilla’s typical home value has dipped slightly by 0.52 percent to about $410,750, while values across Portland as a whole sit higher at roughly $496,250. Inventory is down 7.69 percent from last year, even as new listings have risen 14.58 percent, showing more owners are bringing homes to market. At the same time, pending sales are 13.21 percent lower than a year ago, pointing to softer buyer activity.
In February 2026, median list prices in Montavilla were about $419,900, down 3.47 percent from the prior month, and the typical home value also eased 1.62 percent month over month. Homes spent a median of 36 days on the market, a sharp 67.44 percent increase from the previous month, and roughly 28 percent of sales still closed above list price with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.99.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical home values are projected around $407,375 and the median list price is expected to be near $412,350, with inventory edging up to about 37 homes. Even with these modest shifts, Montavilla is still categorized as a seller’s market, reflected in a market gauge of 8. Buyers can use these trends to gauge negotiating room, while sellers can watch pricing and timing closely, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an 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.
Montavilla offers residents a welcoming, walkable neighborhood with a tight-knit community, diverse dining and small shops, leafy streets, convenient transit, and a lively calendar of cultural events that make everyday life feel connected and engaging.
Montavilla stands out from nearby Mt. Tabor and North Tabor with a distinctly small-scale main street energy and strong neighborhood identity. Centered on SE Stark and SE 82nd, it blends early 20th century homes, midcentury ranches, and newer infill, attracting both first-time buyers and long-time Portland residents.
The neighborhood’s core is the Montavilla business district, where independent spots like Flying Pie Pizzeria and the historic Academy Theater anchor a walkable stretch of shops, bars, and cafes. Weekly staples such as the Montavilla Farmers Market add to the community focus, drawing neighbors from East Portland and beyond.
Access to outdoor space is a major draw. Residents enjoy Montavilla Park and the Montavilla Community Center, while nearby Mt. Tabor Park offers wooded trails and skyline views. Local schools such as Vestibule Montessori School and Vestal Elementary complement the family-friendly feel, and transit connections along 82nd and I‑84 make commuting across Multnomah County straightforward.
In Montavilla, homes can move quickly when priced and prepared correctly, and buyers often face competition for well-presented properties near key amenities. Whether you are planning strategic updates before listing or trying to time your entry into the neighborhood, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a real estate professional who understands Montavilla’s pace and potential.
