March 19, 2026 EETAC Meeting

The City of Eugene's EETAC meeting on March 19, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing housing market data, including updates to the regional land information database (ARID 2) and its impact on housing sales data accuracy. Discussions centered on median sales prices, particularly for multi-unit dwellings, and the challenges of interpreting nominal or family sales that may skew data. The group also examined median household income, gross rent trends, and cost burden statistics, noting that while rent and income growth rates have recently aligned, housing affordability remains a concern. Vacancy rates and their relation to new apartment developments were discussed, with acknowledgment of data limitations and plans for deeper analysis during upcoming urban growth boundary reviews. No specific procurement actions, contract awards, or budget decisions were reported during this meeting.
