The median home in the city of Ashland was built in 1979, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Oregon median of 1981. That is older than the Jackson County median of 1985.1 About 51% of Ashland's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 11% since 2010. The largest single share, 28%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Jackson County as a whole (45% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Ashland are of similar age: median build years 1981 and 1978.1

Ashland has a mixed housing stock: 58% detached houses, 13% attached or townhouse units and 18% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Ashland, with 52% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Oregon share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Ashland is valued at $583,800 (ACS), above the Oregon median of $477,600. Within Jackson County the median is $430,200, so Ashland sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.

The Medford Rogue Vly Ap station averages 64 nights a year at or below 32°F and 3 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers run hot, with about 61 days a year at 90°F or more and 11 at 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.

Annual precipitation is low, about 18 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating dominates the year: about 4,203 heating degree days against 908 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.

The coast is about 79 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Ashland sits in IECC climate zone 4C (Marine).6 Building permits in Ashland are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
