What Every Homeowner Needs To Know In Today's Shifting Market
Here's something you need to know. The housing market is getting back to a healthier, more normal place. And even though it may not sound like it, this shift is actually a good thing.

But what you need to remember is: there's still plenty of opportunity to be had if you're thinking about selling – whether that's next month or next year. You just need to stay up to date on what's happening in the market, and have a strategy that matches the moment. Here's your update.

More Inventory Means More Choices for Bend Home Buyers
There are more homes on the market for potential Bend home buyers to choose from than there were at the same time last year. With more inventory, there has been more motivation for sellers to negotiate price and terms with buyers. This in turn has resulted in homes selling for less than asking price, often after price reductions, in order to generate offers. While the overall sales price is up slightly over the same time last year, the months of supply is up over 11%.
When the data from November 2024 for Bend single family home sales on less than an acre is compared with those from November 2023, the following changes can be seen:
- Average sales price up 4.1% to $888,821
- Median sales price up 2.6% to $711,875
