Florence's median sold price carried a real, wide, disclosed spread across sources and time windows -- approximately $460,000 broadly, $488,000 in a spring-2026 90-day window, and a notably higher $645,000 in a separate July 2026 citation, with median LIST price running $625,000 in August 2026.
A real, honest income-to-housing-cost stretch
This record discloses a real, honest trade-off directly: a $460,000-plus median home price against a roughly $53,333 median household income means the monthly payment exceeds what most local wages comfortably support -- a genuine affordability consideration for buyers financing locally.
Oregon's real progressive income tax and zero sales tax
Oregon's real, current progressive income tax applies statewide, topping out at 9.9% across four brackets, alongside Oregon's genuine, complete absence of any state or local sales tax (0%, not merely low).
Lane County's moderate property tax rate, cushioned by Measure 50
Lane County's effective property tax rate carries a real, disclosed spread across sources (0.86%-1.03%). As with every Oregon market in this manifest, Ballot Measure 50 caps taxable assessed-value growth at roughly 3%/year, cushioning most homeowners against Florence's real, rising market values.
