Surf Pines Real Estate Market Snapshot : January 2026

By Julia Radditz, Principal Broker, Totem Properties

January on the North Oregon Coast has delivered a little gift this year—clear skies, crisp air, and those bright winter days that feel almost like summer. Around here, we jokingly call it “June‑uary.” It’s also a good moment to pause and take a thoughtful look at what’s happening in the Surf Pines real estate market.

Current Listings in Surf Pines

As of late January, inventory within Surf Pines remains limited, which continues to support property values.

Homes and land currently for sale:

• Vacant Land, Ocean Drive, Warrenton, Oregon – $330,000

• 33294 Neacoxie Lane, Warrenton, Oregon– $999,900

• 89026 Ocean Drive, Warrenton, Oregon – $1,850,000

Recent Sales Activity

Since my last Surf Pines update in mid‑October 2025, only two homes have sold within the community:

• 90114 Manion Drive – $717,000

• 90023 Manion Drive – $740,000

These properties sold for an average of 101% of their original list price, with an average time on market of just 52 days. That combination—strong pricing and relatively quick sales—is a clear indicator of continued demand in Surf Pines, especially when compared to other areas that are seeing longer marketing times.

There have been no vacant land sales in Surf Pines during this period, which further highlights how limited overall inventory remains.

A Look at the Broader Clatsop County Market

Zooming out to Clatsop County as a whole provides helpful context:

• 110 homes are currently listed as active

• 35 homes are under contract

By the end of December 2025, homes across the county were selling for an average of 93% of their original list price, according to the Clatsop MLS. The median sale price in December was $605,000, down slightly from $608,000 a year earlier. Average days on market improved modestly, from 121 days to 119 days.

One of the more notable shifts has been in the absorption rate, which measures the balance between supply and demand. Since 2024, December’s absorption rate has declined, signaling a subtle shift back toward sellers. In my view, this has less to do with a surge in buyer demand and more to do with fewer homes coming to market, as many potential sellers have been waiting on the sidelines.

Looking Ahead to Spring 2026

As we move closer to spring, I expect to see more homes come on the market. Some sellers who chose not to list—or who didn’t achieve their goals—in 2025 may be ready to try again this year.

On the buyer side, 2025 was marked by a cautious tone. As market conditions continue to adjust, there’s reason to be optimistic that confidence and activity will gradually increase in 2026.

Final Thoughts

Real estate is always evolving, and it remains highly local. Surf Pines continues to stand out as a sought‑after coastal community, supported by limited inventory and consistent demand. I’ll keep monitoring both local and national trends and sharing how they’re taking shape here on the North Oregon Coast.

No matter the market conditions, it’s a privilege to be a trusted local real estate resource.
