What is happening in the Bend real estate market right now?
The Bend, Oregon real estate market in March 2026 is active but price-sensitive. Home sales and pending transactions are up over 20% year-over-year, while median prices have declined 7.4%. Buyers are active, but only when homes are priced correctly relative to current interest rates.
