Zillow's typical home value ran $536,240 (up a modest 0.9% year-over-year); a separate trailing-3-month sold-price citation for mid-2026 ran higher at $565,000-$568,000; and a third source cited a meaningfully lower average of $485,672 -- disclosed together rather than reconciled to a single number.
OSU enrollment growth shapes real housing demand
OSU's Corvallis-campus enrollment growth (from 18,384 in 2003 to approximately 25,374 in fall 2025) is a real, sustained demand driver on both the rental and ownership sides of the Corvallis housing market.
A comparatively modest appreciation pace
Zillow's 0.9% year-over-year home-value growth runs modestly, consistent with a maturing Willamette Valley market rather than a rapid-appreciation boomtown story.
