Deductions & credits

"Do I have to file a state of Oregon return."

Assuming you have a gain on sale that's greater than the amounts listed here:

then the answer is "Yes."

"What will happen with my CA return, it imports capital gain information from my federal return?

Can Turbo Tax handle the CA return?  I don't want to pay in both states."

You will report the gain on sale in both states.  The way you avoid being "double taxed" is by taking a tax credit on your California income tax return for the taxes paid to Oregon.  Obviously you need to prepare your Oregon income tax return first reporting your "Oregon-sorced" income; presumably that's only the gain on sale of the condo.
