Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program: Oregon Approved Market Analysts

The State of Oregon has compiled this list based upon amendments to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code requiring a comprehensive market analysis of the housing demand of the low-income individuals and households in the areas served by each Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) project. The analysis must be performed at the developer's expense by a disinterested third party approved by the allocating agency prior to the project receiving an allocation of LIHTC.

This list does not imply that the State of Oregon or Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) endorses or recommends any particular market analyst, nor does it imply any analyst selected that is listed is any guarantee of receipt of funding or project feasibility.

Completing a rental analysis and estimating unit rents for a specific project is considered an appraisal under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and ORS 674. The rental analysis sections (both market and affordable) of the market analysis must be completed by a State Certified General Appraiser. Please contact the Oregon Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board for further information regarding certification
