🎆 Wilsonville Real Estate: 2025 Year-End Market Wrap-Up + 2026 Forecast

What We Learned This Year — and How to Win in 2026 and Beyond

As we close the door on 2025, we want to start here:

Happy New Year 🎉 and warm wishes to you and your family as we step into 2026.
This season invites reflection, gratitude, and clarity about what’s next.

From a housing perspective, 2025 wasn’t flashy — and that’s exactly why it mattered.
This was the year Wilsonville recalibrated, matured, and quietly set the table for the next chapter.

Below, we break down:

  • What actually unfolded in 2025

  • What 2026 is lining up to deliver

  • The practices that will separate decisive movers from passive observers in Q1 and beyond

All through the lens of Wilsonville and its most influential neighborhoods.


🧭 2025 in Review: A Market That Found Its Balance

2025 wasn’t a surge year.
It wasn’t a slide either.

It was a reset — and resets tend to matter most over time.

What defined Wilsonville in 2025:

  • Values stayed steady, especially where lifestyle leads decision-making

  • More options entered the mix, giving buyers breathing room

  • Timelines stretched, demanding sharper positioning

  • Buyers became discerning, not disengaged

  • Homes with a plan moved forward; others had to recalibrate

In short:
👉 2025 rewarded preparation over panic.


📊 Neighborhood Signals That Matter Going Forward

🌿 Charbonneau

  • One of the most equity-rich pockets in the region

  • Strong gains over the last cycle

  • Slower movement, but durable values

  • A clear shift toward intentional rightsizing

Charbonneau residents didn’t rush in 2025 — they positioned. That quiet readiness becomes powerful in early 2026.

🌳 Villebois

  • Continued pull for families and relocators

  • Relative value compared to nearby markets

  • Strong lifestyle draw anchored by green space and design

  • A reliable bridge for both move-up and move-down transitions

Villebois proved a simple truth in 2025: community still drives decisions — even in balanced conditions.

🏗️ Frog Pond

  • Ongoing new-build activity

  • Strong interest from high-earning households

  • Healthy competition that moderated resale pricing

  • A benchmark for expectations city-wide

Frog Pond anchored the premium and next-step segment while helping the broader market stay grounded.


🧠 The Biggest Lesson of 2025: Strategy > Timing

Here’s what the headlines missed:

Homes didn’t stop changing hands in 2025.
Poorly positioned homes did.

The sellers who moved forward this year:

  • Entered with realistic expectations

  • Led with lifestyle narrative, not a feature list

  • Used incentives with intention

  • Understood why buyers were making moves

Those who struggled often waited too long to adjust.
That lesson carries straight into 2026.


🔮 2026 Forecast: What to Expect (and What Not to Fear)

As we step into the new year, here’s what we see clearly for Wilsonville:

✔️ Likely

  • A strong, motivated Q1

  • Continued rightsizing, especially from Charbonneau

  • Ongoing relocation tied to quality of life and education

  • More choices — not an overwhelming wave

  • Stability for homes that are thoughtfully presented

❌ Unlikely

  • A value collapse

  • A return to chaos

  • Indecisive buyers sitting on the sidelines

2026 won’t reward hesitation.
It will reward informed, confident action.


🏆 How to Win in Q1 2026 (Buyers, Sellers & Partners)

🏡 For Sellers

If 2026 includes a move for you:

  • Begin planning before spring activity ramps up

  • Get a true equity snapshot — not a generic algorithm

  • Sync your sale with your next chapter, not market noise

  • Use incentives strategically instead of chasing numbers

Early-year sellers often outperform later entries — not just in outcome, but in certainty.

🔑 For Buyers

You’ll have more choice — and the best options will still attract attention.

Winning approaches:

  • Prepare early and thoroughly

  • Understand value at the neighborhood level

  • Move decisively when alignment appears

  • Look at the full opportunity, not just the headline number - look for incentives provided by the seller

Many of the strongest opportunities surface before the crowd arrives.

🤝 For Referral Partners & Advisors

2026 is about guidance, not hype.

Clients are looking for:

  • Clear explanations

  • Scenario planning

  • Steady leadership

  • Hyper-local insight

Those who can connect lifestyle, equity, and timing will earn trust that lasts.


🧭 The Bigger Picture

Wilsonville continues to stand out for one reason:

Stability without stagnation.

Strong schools.
Livable neighborhoods.
Intentional growth.
A genuine sense of community.

That combination resonates — especially in a world that feels louder everywhere else.


🎇 Final Thoughts + New Year Wishes

As we close out 2025, thank you — for the conversations, the trust, the referrals, and the opportunity to be part of meaningful decisions.

🎆 Happy New Year
🎄 We hope the holidays brought rest, clarity, and time with those who matter most
🚀 And we hope 2026 brings intentional moves, smart decisions, and exciting next chapters

If a change may be on your horizon — even if it’s just a thought — now is the right time to start the conversation.
