Rockaway Beach is where normal humans can still actually buy a beach house in Oregon… without needing VC funding, a liquidity event, or 7 different wealth managers reviewing your tax loss harvest plan.
Average sold price here (SFR only) YTD through Oct 31 2025? $552,900.
This is why Rockaway is ALWAYS one of my top buyer entry markets on the coast.
You can get a livable, rentable, vacation-able, usable beach lifestyle asset here — that doesn’t financially choke you.

This is a real functioning, accessible, working coastal market — not an ultra niche rare artifact luxury market.
This is why Rockaway Beach is constantly on my radar for primary buyers AND STR buyers AND second home buyers. You actually have selection here.
% list price tells a VERY interesting story
Rockaway Beach % of list price YTD is showing 14.8% (which means: price discovery has been messy + buyers have negotiation power here compared to hyper luxury micro markets). This is what I call “coast asymmetry opportunity.” You can still negotiate here. You can still get value. You can still get terms you want.
Average Days On Market is 114 days...
This is almost perfect for the strategic buyer.
It’s not panic selling. It’s not hyper bidding war. It’s a market where you can be patient + strategic and not lose the house in 4 hours to a cash tech founder from Seattle.
Rockaway Beach is literally one of the best Oregon Coast markets to BUY in right now if you want:
value
optionality
actual selection
STR upside
future appreciation without ultra niche luxury buy-in
