The One Space Southern Oregon Buyers Are Willing to Pay More For

Discover why Southern Oregon buyers are willing to pay more for homes with guest suites. Learn how private living quarters can boost resale value and attract multigenerational buyers.

In Southern Oregon’s evolving real estate market, buyers are no longer just looking for extra bedrooms—they’re searching for private living quarters that support real-life needs. Guest suites, attached ADU-style spaces, or detached living areas have become increasingly desirable as more families prioritize flexibility, privacy, and long-term usability. From Medford to Ashland to Central Point, this demand is being driven by changing household dynamics and lifestyle-focused buying decisions.

Multigenerational living is shaping buyer priorities, and these households are one of the fastest-growing buyer segments in Jackson and Josephine Counties. Buyers are actively seeking homes that allow aging parents, adult children, or extended family members to live comfortably without sacrificing independence. A home with a dedicated guest suite instantly stands out, appealing to buyers who want separation without disconnect—making these properties more competitive when they hit the market.
