The bedroom mix skews small: 1,086 one-bedroom (43% of supply), 586 two-bedroom, 519 three-bedroom, 229 four-bedroom, and 88 five-bedroom.

Channel data shows 1,660 Airbnb-only listings, 109 Vrbo-only, and 742 listed on both, meaning Springfield relies more heavily on Airbnb-only distribution than any other market in this batch.
Springfield is part of the Eugene-Springfield metro in Lane County, marketed as a gateway to the McKenzie River recreation corridor and the Cascades, with visitors drawn to river rafting and fishing, regional sports and event travel, and the officially licensed Simpsons Mural. Its total market score of 49.38 and investability score of 56.82 (both out of 100) are the lowest in this batch, reflecting a smaller, less-established STR market, even as its recent revenue growth trend runs the strongest of any market here.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals (stays under 30 consecutive days) are legal in Springfield but regulated under the Springfield Development Code (section 4.7.355). Every STR needs a city short-term rental permit, an annual business license, and a certificate of occupancy. The code splits STRs into two tiers: Type A is owner/operator-occupied (owner or operator lives on-site, up to roughly five guest rooms and ten occupants) and is approved administratively for about $400; Type B covers larger or non-owner-occupied operations and requires discretionary conditional-use review, including a neighborhood meeting and public hearings before the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council, plus a minimum 400-foot separation from other Type B rentals on the same street.
There is no owner-occupancy requirement for the program overall, though Type B (the tier that allows non-owner-occupied operation) is subject to the tougher review path, and there is no primary-residence mandate or published maximum-nights-per-year cap. Operators must post permit and business-license numbers plus operator contact information, and STRs cannot be rented solely for special events.
Guests pay a 9.5% Springfield transient room tax on top of Oregon’s state transient lodging tax, which rises from 1.5% to 2.5% on January 1, 2026. Enforcement is rated moderate. As of late 2024 the city stopped issuing new Type B permits in commercial, mixed-use, employment, and industrial zones, a meaningful recent tightening for non-owner-occupied investors specifically.
Market Comparison
At 70.4% occupancy and a $270 ADR, Springfield runs above the roughly 55% occupancy and roughly $220 ADR typical of the broader US short-term rental market, though its total market score of 49.38 out of 100, the lowest in this batch, reflects a smaller and less mature STR market than the other Oregon and coastal markets processed here. What stands out instead is momentum: 18.9% year-over-year revenue growth is the strongest of any market in this comparison set.
Property management is led by the two largest national brands: Vacasa (51 listings, 4.46 rating) and Evolve (37 listings, 4.74 rating) hold the top two spots, followed by ICON Real Estate (23 listings, the highest rating in the top 5 at 4.86), RedAwning (17 listings), and Host Homes Management (16 listings). The top 5 combined control 144 of the market’s roughly 2,510 listings, about 5.7%, meaning the large majority of Springfield’s STR supply is independently operated.
