How the momentum score breaks down
methodology →Beaverton has held up across the cycle: home values at $533,339 with +2.5% 5-year CAGR. The bull case is structural — population, location, employer base — and holds even if next year's print is soft.
Beaverton is a West Coast market off recent highs, and the regional fundamentals (taxes, regulation, out-migration) are still working against it. The bear case isn't that prices go to zero — it's that they don't recover meaningfully for years.
