Click Here to see the Q2 Market Trends for Bend Real Estate and Redmond Real Estate, as well as the Q2 real estate trends in Sunriver, La Pine, Sisters, Prineville, Madras, Powell Butte, and Black Butte Ranch. In Q2 2025, the Bend Oregon Real Estate market and surrounding communities experienced a change, typically seeing a significant increase in inventory year over year with more homes, more new listings, and consistently more days on market. Buyers had more choices with the increased number of homes for sale and sellers were more inclined to consider offers under asking price. The number of listings grew, days on market increased in many markets, and prices decreased slightly in the larger markets of Bend and Redmond. However, despite the increased number of homes for sale, Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Prineville and Madras reflected a seller's market, although much less strong than in earlier quarters; Black Butte Ranch, La Pine and Sunriver were in a balanced market with Powell Butte in a very strong buyer's market with 32 months of supply.

The Wildflowers and Views Are Fabulous at Browder Ridge

Iron Mountain remains one of the favored Central Oregon wildflower hikes that many people on both sides of the Cascades enjoy yearly. However, the lesser known and less traveled Browder Ridge offers even more wildflowers and views unseen from Iron Mountain. The easiest access to Browder Ridge Trail is near the Iron Mountain trailhead a few miles up paved forest service road 15.

In early July 2025, the wildflowers were blooming and the air was clear, providing outstanding views of multiple peaks of the Cascades. The hike from the trailhead off forest service road 15 climbs over 2300 feet to the peak at the top of Browder Ridge at a distance slightly more than six miles one direction. Varied shade loving and sun loving wildflowers can be seen throughout the hike.

Its All About Price for Bend Home Sellers

In a transitioning real estate market where home buyers all of a sudden have many choices, it comes down to asking price in whether or not home sellers have showings, much less offers.
