      <image:title>IN THE KNOW - Josephine County Housing Market Update – Spring 2026 - Rogue River Adventures</image:title>
      <image:caption>### Why People Keep Moving to Josephine County Josephine County offers a compelling mix of affordability (relative to many West Coast markets), outdoor recreation, lower property taxes in many areas, and a relaxed pace of life. Grants Pass serves as a vibrant hub with excellent healthcare, shopping, and easy access to the Rogue River.

Remote workers, retirees, and families from California, Washington, and beyond continue to discover what locals already know: Josephine County delivers outstanding value in 2026.</image:caption>
