In the mid-1800s, the promise of gold and free land lured fortune seekers and settlers to the
newly-formed Oregon Territory. They were soon followed by merchants who amassed their
own wealth selling supplies to the miners and farmers. This ongoing series shares the stories of
these pioneers and their times.

hen you look at home values, you get a better picture if you look at longterm trends and not short-term trends. Quarterly home prices go up and
down, but yearly growth and long-term growth give you a much better
picture of where the market is headed.
Home values in Jackson County hit their all-time high in 2006, but then began to fall as
the housing recession hit. Prices continued to decline until they leveled in 2012, and began
to rise in 2013. Prices have continued to rise into 2016, and we ended the year with prices
increasing 62.4% since their low in 2012. Home prices are still 7.5% lower than the all-time
high in 2006, so we have a year or so before home prices are back to their all-time highs.
We predict that home prices will continue to increase in 2017 due to three factors:
1. There is a very low supply of homes on the market which is pushing prices up.
2. Rental rates are extremely high, so in many cases its cheaper to buy then rent.
3. We have an increasing amount of retirees moving to the area.
All three of these trends will lead to higher home prices.
As for any average growth in home prices, you have some areas that have faster
price growth than others. Lower priced homes in Medford and Central Point have
seen price growth that is twice that of price growth in Ashland and Jacksonville.
Here are some numbers:
5 Year % Change in Existing Home Prices
Median Price in 2016
Ashland + 39.1% $394,000
Talent + 64.8% $278,500
Phoenix + 47.6% $222,900
Jacksonville + 43.8% $365,000
East Medford
+ 61.1%

West Medford

The number of homes selling is also on the rise even though there is very little
inventory available. In 2016, there were 2633 homes that sold in Jackson County
compared to an all-time high of 2647 in 2006.
The rental market continues to see a 2% vacancy rate, the lowest level since 2000. Rental
prices have increased and supply is limited so we see the same trend continuing for 2017.
Mortgage rates have increased and the average 30-year fixed mortgage rates are expected
to average over 4% in 2017. The Federal Reserve announced they might increase the prime
rate in 2017 which may drive mortgage rates up further. That said, as mortgage rates are
increasing, some government loans, such as FHA, have decreased the fees they charge for
mortgage insurance so the net to the borrower can be the same as prior to the increase.
As we begin a new year with a new administration leading our nation, there is a
lot of uncertainly, but local home sales in Jackson County seem more affected by the
number of aging baby boomers retiring than by any other factor. At last, home prices
are nearing the record high and home sales are in reach of the all-time record, and best
of all, the trend seems to be sustainable.

A Cup of Conversation
by Michael Kell
Oz
here's a reason
why politics
and religion
are taboo topics at
dinner parties. We can creatively design
filters to guard the truth about what we
really think but these days all it takes
to prejudge is a slip of the tongue about
who we voted for in the last election.
It's prudent not to be all out there, so
to speak. Reserving at least a fig leaf of
private thought is wise policy. My wife
loves dinner parties, me not so much.
There are however exceptions to the
rule. There was a local man a while back
who dedicated his social media feed to a
virulent political stance. I've never seen
anything quite as polarizing. When those
disagreeing with him were told MOVE
or LEAVE the country, we knew
his days in a small town were likely
numbered. Weve not seen him around
lately. This is not rocket science.
So the election is over; officially
conceded to the victor but someone
somewhere is still counting votes,
furiously looking for reasons to be
relevant or funded. Half the population
feels like Dorothy after good Glinda's
evil archetype just west of Oz was
doused with water. The other half is
raging butt-sore. The difference is Oz
is not a constitutional republic, we are.
Civics was removed from public school
curriculums a generation ago so many
to the left of middle-age don't know
the difference between a representative
democratic republic and a social
democracy (think America then Greece).
That is unfortunate but no accident in
case you're wondering. Something tells
me this is about to change.
It's just a couple weeks past
Thanksgiving and I've heard the words
'Merry Christmas' more times than all last
season combined. Isnt that interesting?
Speaking of Thanksgiving, we celebrated
