How to use this guide
Use the overall score range sliders to show only buildings in your target band (5 = exceptional value, 1 = high cost). Filter by neighborhood, then sort by score, price, or liquidity. Click any building for full metrics and our take.
Buildings are scored 1–5 based on carrying costs (HOA and taxes) and sales velocity. Higher scores mean better value; 5 is exceptional, 1 is high-cost or illiquid.
If you are looking to buy a condo in Portland right now, you've probably noticed a trend: prices look fantastic, but the monthly dues can be a shock. When evaluating a condo, the sticker price is only half the story. To truly understand if a building is a great investment or a potential money pit, you have to look closely at the "carrying costs"—specifically the Homeowners Association (HOA) fees and property taxes—as well as how easily units are actually selling in that building.
To take the guesswork out of your search, we analyzed all the active and recently sold condos across Multnomah County to build our 2026 Condo Grading System. We've evaluated every verified condo building and assigned it a simple, color-coded score from 1 to 5.
Here is exactly how to read the grades and use them to find the perfect condo.
We grade every building on a curve, meaning we compare Portland buildings to other Portland buildings. We aren't comparing a downtown high-rise to a national average; we are showing you exactly how a building stacks up against its local peers right now.
| Grade | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Exceptional Value: Top 20% of the Portland market. Highly competitive carrying costs (low HOAs/taxes relative to price) and units sell quickly. | |
| 4 | Above Average: A great, healthy building. Costs are manageable and market demand is strong. | |
| 3 | The Portland Average: Baseline. Fees, taxes, and time to sell are typical for the current Portland market. | |
| 2 | Below Average: Proceed with caution. You are paying a premium in monthly fees or taxes compared to similar buildings. | |
| 1 | High Cost / Illiquid: Bottom 20%. HOA fees or property taxes consume a large portion of value, or units sit on the market a long time. |
Our Overall Building Score is an average of four financial health checks:
