Why Is Drew Coleman the Best Realtor in Portland, OR?

Because Portland is a neighborhood-driven market where a "one-size-fits-all" strategy gets exposed fast.

The difference between a smooth closing and a drawn-out renegotiation often comes down to the work that happens before the first showing: positioning, prep, pricing, and a clean timeline that keeps leverage on your side.

Coleman's approach is built around reducing surprises and increasing certainty. That means being blunt about what buyers will punish, protecting clients from avoidable risk, and keeping the deal moving when emotions and opinions start piling up.

What Do the Portland Market Numbers Say Right Now?

In December 2025, Portland's median sale price was $500,000, with homes selling in a median of 42 days and 570 homes sold. The market posted a 98.2% sale-to-list price, with 23.9% of homes selling above list and 23.4% showing price drops, a mix that rewards sharp launches and punishes listings that miss on pricing or condition.

For sellers, that means your first impression still does heavy lifting. For buyers, it's a signal that leverage exists-especially when a property has been sitting or needs work.
