One reason why prices in this area are relatively affordable is because there are limited options for buyers who want a larger home or want to purchase close to downtown Willamina. Instead, most homes in this area are smaller and closer to nature. This also means that there are fewer houses for sale overall which keeps prices high relative to other areas within Oregon.

Despite being relatively affordable compared to other areas of Oregon, buyers should still be prepared for some competition when looking at homes in this ZIP code. In addition to having some of the highest home values in Oregon, 97396 also has one of the lowest vacancy rates – meaning that there are plenty of homes available for sale right now.
