While the upward trends for Bend single family home sales have slowed over the past few months, Redmond home sales have remained strong. Redmond, located just 17 miles north of Bend, has long been known as a great place to live, with homes priced well below that of Bend. People relocating to Central Oregon have discovered Redmond's value and home sales in this great town have taken off.

Redmond Home Prices Relatively Stable

While sold home prices have gone up in Redmond over the past year, the average asking price has remained fairly consistent between $400,000 and $420,000. With Bend seeing a great increase in million dollar home sales, Redmond's housing inventory has consisted of more modestly priced property, leading to its reputation as having great housing value. Builders are also actively building new homes in the community which should help with some of the lack of inventory.
