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

Bend Home Prices Up In October

The trend seen over the past four months changed in October when year over year Bend home prices rose rather than fell. Both average and median Bend single family home sales prices were up, perhaps a reflection of lower interest rates seen in September which enabled more home buyers to purchase higher priced homes or an unusual anomaly which was reflected with a large number of million dollar plus homes (over 35% of total home sales) closing. Typically in the fall,

Bend Real Estate Sales at a Crossroads

Instead of seeing home sales prices increasing year over year, in July 2024 home sales prices decreased year over year. This change directly reflects on the increased inventory levels the town has experienced in the last few months. The Covid pandemic resulted in tremendous dema...

Central Oregon Market Trends 2nd Quarter 2024

The Central Oregon real estate 2024 market trends for most of the major urban areas continue to reflect a seller's market in 2nd quarter, although that has changed in La Pine where inventory levels at 7.4 months reflect a buyer's market; Powell Butte and Madras are in a balanced market at 6 months. Although still in a seller's market, inventory is at a level in Bend that hasn't been seen since July, 2015 when the average home price was $391,000 and mortgage interest rates were at 4%.* With more inventory, days on market have also ticked up, but well priced homes can still sell quickly and multiple offers can happen. BendRedmond and Sunriver are showing strong upward trends in all categories (the only exception for Bend is the number of homes sold) with home prices, listings, inventory levels and days on market all rising. As we move into 3rd quarter, we expect mortgage interest rates may drop, which could enable more home buyers to afford a Central Oregon home.
