More Oregon homes for sale in 2025 came with homeowners association fees, and those dues climbed from a year earlier, Realtor.com data shows.
Why it matters: Rising HOA fees add to the already high cost of homeownership.
By the numbers: Roughly 35% of homes in the state listed for sale on Realtor.com last year had HOA dues, up from about 31% in 2024 and 26% in 2019.
- The percentage of homes listed for sale in the Portland metro area with HOAs was much higher — at nearly 49%.
- The median monthly fee rose to $111 from $98 in 2024 and $100 in 2019 — and dues can even stretch beyond $500.
Between the lines: HOA fees are more common in the West and South, where condos, townhouses and newly built homes represent a larger share of listings, according to the real estate site.
- Residents pay HOA dues to fund maintenance and amenities like pools and gyms.
- In addition to monthly fees, associations often enforce strict rules on everything from holiday decor to lawn care, with fines for residents who fail to comply.
