Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Mount Scott-Arleta real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Over the past year, Mount Scott-Arleta has seen home values move down noticeably, with the typical home value dropping about 15.68%. That puts the typical home at roughly $400,500, well below Portland’s citywide typical value of about $496,250. At the same time, inventory has grown sharply compared to last year, rising an estimated 250%.
In February 2026, buyers saw a median list price of about $447,500 and homes spending a median of 46.5 days on the market. Just over 26% of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sat close to 0.99, signaling that most homes are still selling near their list price despite changing conditions.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical home values are projected to ease slightly to about $397,250, while the projected median list price is expected to hold near $447,750 and inventory could edge up to around 42 active listings. Even with these shifts and a market gauge of 13 indicating conditions that lean toward sellers, higher inventory and longer days on market are giving buyers more options than they had before. In this kind of evolving seller’s market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to guide their next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Mount Scott-Arleta offers residents a welcoming, walkable community with green spaces, locally owned shops, diverse dining, and plenty of family-friendly events that foster connection and neighborhood pride.
Mount Scott-Arleta stands out from nearby Foster-Powell and Woodstock with its quieter residential feel and strong sense of everyday community. Centered around Arleta School and family friendly streets, the neighborhood blends older bungalows with thoughtfully updated homes, offering options for both first time buyers and long term residents.
At the north edge, the growing Foster corridor brings local flavor through spots like Portland Mercado, food carts, and independent shops, while Mt. Scott Park and the Mt. Scott Community Center provide green space, a popular pool, and year round recreational programs. Access to TriMet bus lines and nearby routes to Lents and Brentwood-Darlington helps commuters stay connected to the rest of Portland.
Neighbors often stick around, so homes can move quickly when they do come to market. Buyers benefit from understanding micro differences between streets close to Foster versus those nearer the park, as well as how upcoming city improvements may affect value and livability. Sellers gain from early preparation, from pricing strategy to small updates that resonate with Mount Scott-Arleta’s buyer pool.
