In Oregon, your $110K salary stretches further than the national average. Because Oregon's 0.93% property tax rate is below the national average of 1.1%, your maximum affordable price is $379K — that is $13K more than the $366K you would get using national averages. Lower property taxes mean a smaller slice of your monthly payment goes to the county, leaving more room for the mortgage itself.
Oregon's combination of 0.93% property taxes and $1,400/yr insurance puts it in the moderate-cost category. Your $379K budget gives you a solid starting point, though you will be looking below the $480K state median. Focus on cities and neighborhoods where your budget represents strong buying power — in many parts of Oregon, $379K buys a well-maintained home in a good school district.
