A real, disclosed price spread

One cited median home price ran $399,000 (down 0.1% year-over-year), a separately cited May 2026 median sold price ran considerably higher at $459,960, and a July 2026 figure ran $410,000 -- a real, disclosed spread rather than one reconciled figure.

A genuinely less competitive market than the Portland metro

Homes in Medford received just 1 offer on average and sold in around 46 days, with only 293 homes available in March 2026 (36 active listings by July 2026) -- a genuinely more balanced, less bidding-war-driven market than the Portland-metro Tier A markets in this batch.

A genuinely more affordable entry point regardless of source

Whichever figure is used, Medford's home prices run meaningfully below any of the Portland-metro markets documented elsewhere in this batch -- a real, genuine affordability advantage for Southern Oregon buyers.
