The oldest housing of any large county in Oregon
Multnomah County's median home was built in 1972 — the oldest of any Oregon county with more than 100,000 residents (Census ACS 2020–2024, B25035). The four counties with older housing are Sherman, Gilliam, Baker and Grant, and all of them are tiny.
It also has the highest renter share of any county in Oregon at 46.6% — nearly half of occupied homes are rentals (B25003). Old housing plus a rental majority is the combination that produces the two problems we see most here: deferred maintenance, and occupancy.
What that looks like city by city
The county is not one market. Portland has the oldest housing stock of any Oregon city over 25,000 residents — a 1966 median, with a third of its homes built before 1950, which is where the buried oil tank problem lives. Gresham carries the heaviest payment burden of any large city in the metro. Troutdale and Fairview are much newer, built mostly after 1980. Wood Village is the most affordable city in the metro.
The two things that stall a Multnomah County sale
Buried heating oil tanks. Before natural gas reached most of the county, homes were heated with oil from a tank in the yard. Oregon never required registration, so no master list exists — but DEQ recorded 592 decommissioned in fiscal 2025 alone (Oregon DEQ). We wrote the full process up here.
Occupancy. With nearly half the county renting, a lot of what sells here has somebody living in it. We put a Milwaukie property under contract with an occupant who had no bill in their name and closed it in 21 days using Oregon's HB 3522 — that story is here.

The Buried Oil Tank That Kills Portland Home Sales
Decommissioning a buried heating oil tank is voluntary under Oregon law. Paying for the leak is not — the current owner is liable even if it happened decades before they bought.
