The multifamily market in the Portland metro is entering a more balanced phase in Q3 2025. Absorption dropped to 345 units, the lowest since late 2023, while asking rent increased to approximately $1,782 per unit and occupancy held at 95.6 percent. Notably, the Vancouver submarket accounted for nearly half of all units absorbed, underscoring uneven demand dynamics across the metro.
