Central Or Single Family Home Sales Trend Up

Despite the snowy winter of 2016-2017 and the unprecedented wildfires experienced during the summer, Central Oregon real estate sales remain strong. Although the trends seem unsustainable, the roughly 10% increase in sales price year after year since 2011 have continued in the single family home market in Bend, Redmond, and Sunriver.  Only Sisters shows a reduction in the average October sales price from a year before, perhaps a reflection of this summer's Milli fire which was located just outside of the Sisters city limits.

Are Redmond Home Sales in Transition?

The July 2017 trends for Redmond single family homes appear to reflect a changing market. While the average sales price continues to rise, less inventory is now on the market. While closed sales are up significantly over a year ago, new pended sales are down. The asking price for a home appears to be leveling off, but the average sold price is up considerably over a year ago.

Redmond OR Home Sales Show Continued Growth

Redmond home sales remain strong with new real estate contracts, home prices and the number of new homes on the market all trending upward. Redmond has always been a more affordable option for Central Oregon residents to Bend, but its desirability as a great place to live, work, and raise a family has made Redmond the 1st choice for many moving to our area.

Redmond trends are as follows comparing June 2017 with June 2016:

• Homes for sale up 16%

• Homes in pending status up 19%

• Average price per square foot up 12.3%

Although we often focus on Bend for real estate trends, Redmond has also seen tremendous growth over the past 5 years. And while still more affordable than Bend, Redmond's housing prices are also a reflection of the available inventory.

In 2015, Redmond had 4 months of supply of single family homes, all price points, and on less than an acre of land. In 2016, this figure had lowered to 2.9 months and in 2017, we are at 2.3 months of supply.  A healthy and balanced market is considered 6 months of supply.

Directly impacted by the months of inventory is the average sales price. Since 2015, the price of a single family home in Redmond on less than an acre of land has gone from $223,152 to $285,830 - more than 10% increase each year.
