Oregon, the almost mythic destination that enticed homesteaders across the breadth of a continent as they followed the Oregon Trail to their dreams. Oregon Land For Sale means following your dreams to a place unrivaled for its beauty and opportunity.

From the mountains of the south hard against California, to the broad Willamette Valley with its farms and cities and universities, to the deep forests of the coastal ranges, to the deserts of the east, Oregon is a land of wonders. Are we surprised that the explorers Lewis & Clark crossing the continent with the Corps of Discovery in the first years of the 19th century would end up in Oregon at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River? The lands described so vividly in Captain Lewis’s famous journal have been luring people to Oregon ever since.

The cities of Oregon are regularly ranked as among the most livable metropolitan areas in America. Eugene and Springfield with their mix of light manufacturing, high-tech, and universities attract an international population. Portland, still among the great West Coast port cities, is a center for the arts rivaling San Francisco or Seattle. In the south, Medford is a retirement Mecca. And Salem demonstrates that a state capitol need not feel like a mere bureaucratic safe haven, so long as state government remains modest.

The Pacific Northwest has a reputation for weather. Bring your raincoat, it’s said. And it’s true that the coastal areas of Oregon are wet. After all, the old growth forests there are part of what once was a cold-climate rainforest. But Oregon is actually a mesh of microclimates. The dry areas in eastern Oregon see little rain; cold and snow in winter, and heat in the summer is more the norm. The great valleys running north from Cottage Grove to Portland have a generally pleasant climate with relatively mild winters. The high peaks like Mount Hood have snow all year round. Bring your raincoat, but pack Bermuda shorts as well.

Oregon has always been a state where working families felt included in the dream. From small towns to large cities, housing and the cost of living remain within the reach of most families. Oregon’s public schools are among the best in America. The boom and bust cycles of the lumber industry may have a negative impact on jobs when housing construction is in a slump across the American economy, but when that market rebounds (as it will,) job growth in Oregon quickly follows. In commercial centers like Portland, technology may be a better metric of economic activity in Oregon as the state continues moving into the future.

Oregon is a great state for business. A long tradition of favorable tax policy and a focus on reasonable – rather than unnecessary – regulation, affords Oregon based companies a head start in growth. Small wonder that firms like Nike were founded and continue to thrive in Oregon. New companies will benefit from the same friendly climate in a place that prides itself on being both socially progressive and fiscally conservative.

The current recession across American and a decline in real property values in many markets has not left Oregon untouched. Like much of the West Coast, the housing bubble and its aftermath have seen significant real estate devaluation in some communities. But the underlying health of the Oregon economy, even in times of high unemployment, cannot be denied. Construction across America will see resurgence, and with it Oregon lumber. Technology continues to move forward. And the Pacific Northwest enjoys a strategic advantage in trade with Asia. Oregon Land for Sale in a market that has seen depressed prices has never been a better deal. But it’s a deal that won’t last forever. Smart buyers are already entering the market.
