Will Redmond Single Family Home Sales Slow?

At the present time, the trends reflect a continued strong market in Redmond. With Central Oregon still experiencing high in-migration from other states, the value of available homes for sale in Redmond has been discovered. The same home in Bend would be priced at least $100,000 more than Redmond and with only a 20 minute drive between the two cities, home buyers in Central Oregon are often making the decision to purchase in Redmond and commute to Bend for work. Until Central Oregon's growth slows, we believe Redmond will continue to have strong real estate sales.
