What Rising Inventory Means for Wilsonville Sellers

A J. Hill Property Group Perspective

Wilsonville is shifting — not in fear, but in opportunity.

More signs in front yards.
More homes for buyers to compare.
More choice in every price point.

Yes, inventory is rising.
But for thoughtful sellers, this isn’t a setback — it’s a chance to OWN your strategy in a more balanced market and create a result that aligns with your goals.

At J. Hill Property Group, we believe informed decisions build strong legacies. Here’s what’s happening, and how top sellers in our community are positioning themselves to win.

📊 The Numbers Behind the Shift

Wilsonville’s market has stepped back from the intense pace of the last few years — but it hasn’t stalled.

Here’s the snapshot:
• Median Sale Price: $650,000 (+5.7% YoY)
• Homes Sold: Down 18.6% YoY
• Median Days on Market: 38 days (+12 days YoY)
• Price Drops: 53.8% of homes reduced at least once
• Active Inventory: Up ~20% from last summer

This is what a stabilizing market looks like — one where buyers pause and evaluate, and sellers need intention rather than assumption.

⚖️ Why Inventory Is Rising

Several local forces are converging:

Seasonal Patterns.
Late summer and early fall always bring a wave of new listings.

Equity-Heavy Homeowners Moving Forward.
Sellers in Charbonneau and Villebois are capturing remarkable long-term gains and choosing to make a move.

The Frog Pond Building Boom.
New communities continue releasing fresh inventory, giving buyers a compelling alternative to resales.

Rates + Buyer Psychology.
Higher rates reduce urgency, stretching DOM and nudging inventory upward.

Together, these signals point not to decline but to normalization — a landscape where strategy matters.

🧠 What This Means for Sellers Today

Rising inventory doesn’t eliminate opportunity.
It clarifies who is prepared — and who is guessing.

Here’s how Wilsonville’s most successful sellers are staying ahead:

1️⃣ Price with intention, not hope.

The “list high and wait” era is gone. Today’s buyers compare new builds, updated homes, and value-driven options across multiple neighborhoods.
The first 14 days matter.
Pricing with precision protects your outcome.

2️⃣ Present the lifestyle, not just the layout.

Where you live shapes how you live.

• In Villebois, highlight walkability, school pathways, and community events.
• In Charbonneau, speak to connection, recreation, and a well-loved golf community.
• In Frog Pond, focus on design, technology, and newly built convenience.
• In other Wilsonville neighborhoods, focus on established neighborhoods, access to top notch schools, community events.

Lifestyle drives motivation — and motivation drives offers.

3️⃣ Win the digital first impression.

Your home’s online presence is a storefront.

Professional photography, twilight images, video walkthroughs, and short-form reels aren’t luxuries — they are required.
Lead with emotion-driven captions and neighborhood storytelling to stand out in crowded digital feeds. This has always been the JHPG standard!

4️⃣ Offer value without racing to the bottom.

Strategic perks still influence decision-making:

• 2-1 rate buy-downs
• Pre-inspections
• Closing cost credits
• Upgrade allowances

These options elevate perceived value while protecting your equity.

💬 A Tale of Two Sellers

Recently, two Wilsonville homeowners took two very different approaches:

Seller A priced high, waited, reduced… and ultimately closed under value.
Seller B priced strategically, invested in presentation, and used a targeted marketing plan. They secured a full-price offer in eight days with backups.

Same market.
Different strategy.
Different outcome.

🔍 The Hidden Advantage in Rising Inventory

More homes on the market means more choices for you, too.

For years, Wilsonville sellers hesitated because they feared having nowhere to go. That is no longer the case.

With Frog Pond expanding, Villebois evolving, and new mixed-use developments like Vuela emerging, the move-up and right-size opportunities are stronger than they’ve been in years.

This window benefits:
• Move-up buyers looking for their next chapter
• Downsizers ready for simplicity and convenience
• Investors leveraging equity for long-term gains

🧩 How to Stay Competitive in Q4 2025

• List ahead of the 2026 spring surge.
• Partner with a marketing-driven team that doesn’t rely on MLS alone.
• Use hybrid exposure—digital funnels, retargeting, and high-quality in-person events.
• Focus on net proceeds, not just sticker price. Smart strategy often nets more than overpricing ever will.

🧭 The Bottom Line

Rising inventory isn’t a warning sign.
It’s a turning point.

Wilsonville is becoming a more balanced market — and balanced markets reward preparation, clarity, and strong representation.

Sellers who understand that shift will continue achieving top-tier results that support their next chapter.
