Bend Single-Family Home Market Trends: 2025 Year in Review As 2025 wraps up, the Bend single-family home market shows a year defined by steady pricing, increased activity, and a slower pace than the year before. Compared to 2024, the market gained momentum in volume but continued to push back on pricing power and speed.
Here's how 2025 stacked up against 2024.
Prices: Flat, Not Falling — But Buyers Had Leverage The median sales price ended 2025 at $734,950, up just 0.7% year over year. In real terms, pricing was essentially flat.
At the same time, price per square foot declined 1.3% to $388, confirming what many buyers felt … (1 comments)

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - November 2025 Trends
- 12/09/25 12:05 PM
Buyer Activity Picks Up as New Listings Fall Sharply November brought a shift in the Bend real estate market: strong buyer interest paired with a significant drop in new listings. Pending sales saw a sizable jump from one year ago, even though closed sales held flat and overall pricing trended slightly lower. With fewer homes hitting the market, buyers had to act quickly on the most desirable properties, while sellers benefited from motivated purchasers—even if final sale prices continued to come in below original asking.
When comparing November 2025 with November 2024 for Bend single family home sales on less than an acre, the following changes can … (4 comments)

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - October 2025 Trends
- 11/07/25 10:11 AM
A Cooler Fall Market Emerges for Bend Home Sales October brought signs that the Bend real estate market is continuing to find balance as the year winds down. While closed sales and overall sold volume rose modestly from a year ago, several key indicators—such as new listings, pending sales, and median home price—show the market is cooling after a busy late-summer season. With homes taking longer to sell and buyers showing more caution, Bend's fall housing market reflects a shift toward more normal seasonal behavior after several years of atypical trends.

bend real estate: The Haunted Listing That Wouldn't Sell
- 10/31/25 10:21 AM
Don't be scared of a tough listing — sometimes the biggest fright hides the brightest opportunity.
Every agent has that one listing that gives them chills. You know the type — the one that lingers on the market while others fly off the shelf, the one buyers love online but vanish after the showing. For one Bend agent, it felt like the house itself was haunted.
A Spooky Reputation
Perched on a quiet, tree-lined street, the craftsman looked perfect from the curb. But once inside, visitors whispered that "something felt off." Lights flickered during showings. The air felt drafty. Doors creaked when no one … (9 comments)

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - August 2025 Trends
- 09/09/25 11:39 AM
Its a Mixed Market for Bend Home SalesAugust is usually a month where home buyers with young children close their purchases and get settled before school starts. It is also a month in which sellers who didn't sell their properties during the peak summer selling season consider their next options. Often, for those who really need to sell, lowering the asking price can be the answer. For others, taking their property off the market may make more sense. However, in 2025, the August Bend home sales reflected a mixed market with prices up, closings up, inventory up and days on market up.

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - July 2025 Trends
- 08/08/25 09:23 AM
It is Taking Longer to Sell Bend Homes Summer is traditionally the peak selling season for Central Oregon homes. For home buyers looking to buy a Bend home before school starts, July is usually the month when many purchases happen, with August the month for closing these sales and new owners moving into their new homes. While July 2025 has followed these trends to a certain extent, the change in the market with high mortgage interest rates limiting buying power, it has become a price driven market with sellers recognizing that if they really need to sell, the asking price has to match today's market … (2 comments)

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - June 2025 Trends
- 07/08/25 03:59 PM
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. For Bend home sellers who experienced multiple offers with less than a month of supply (sometimes less than two weeks) pushing home prices upwards during the Covid Pandemic, this change to the Bend real estate market can be challenging; adjusting to a more balanced market can lead to frustration and disappointment, but for sellers who are willing to revise their asking price based on current market conditions rather … (2 comments)

- 06/04/25 04:35 PM
Is Bend Moving Into a Balanced Market? The May data has been published and for those who are familiar with Bend Oregon real estate trends, the increase in the numbers of active listings is significant. May traditionally has been a month with a surge in new listings with sellers getting ready for the peak summer selling season. However, in May 2025 there was a huge 42% increase in active inventory year over year. With these numbers, Bend is now trending close to a balanced market with months of supply approaching 5 months.

- 05/08/25 11:52 AM
Bend Home Inventory is Up With Closings DownThe data has been published and the early spring trends year over year for 2025 reflect Bend's single family home real estate market with prices still rising, inventory up considerably, pending sales up, days on market up, and overall closings down.
The increased inventory has provided more options for Bend home buyers and many sellers are willing to negotiate price and terms in order to get their property sold. Those sellers unwilling to do this are often finding their property sitting with little activity. The importance of hitting the market with correct pricing, top photography, top staging, and top curb appeal … (4 comments)

- 04/10/25 03:18 PM
Bend Home Prices Appear to be Leveling OffSpring 2025 has begun with many economic and political changes within the country. The uncertainty of tariffs and the stock market may ultimately result in a pull back in home sales. However, the beginning of April has had strong real estate sales for Bend Premier Real Estate brokers. It could be with people not having confidence in the stock market, the proven reliability of real estate to consistently gain value over time coupled with more certainty in mortgage interest rates leveling or even dropping could result in a boom in Bend home sales.

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - February 2025 Trends
- 03/07/25 12:29 PM
Bend Real Estate Inventory is Way UpThe real estate trends for Bend single family homes are reflecting a changing market. Sales are dependent upon a mortgage interest rate that works for the majority of home buyers, but also upon available homes from which to choose. February 2025 saw a shift in both categories with a large increase in home inventory as well as a more moderate reduction in mortgage interest rates. Buyers are finding many more homes on the market that may meet their search criteria. Sellers are finding that in order to make their home stand out, pricing the home correctly right from the start can … (3 comments)

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Luxury Home Sales 2024
- 02/20/25 05:20 PM
What Happened With Bend Luxury Homes in 2024? 2024 was a year that reflected changes for Bend Oregon real estate. The high end luxury home market had more listings and more activity in 2024 compared with 2023. In particular, homes listed in all categories over $1,000,000 had strong sales with the only exception in the $1,300,000 to $1,599,999 category in which there was a 14.4% decrease in home sales. In this same category, days on market were up over 113% with an increase of 85% in months of supply (up to over 5 months). Based on an earlier 2024 review of the Bend luxury … (4 comments)

- 02/05/25 03:55 PM
2025 Bend Home Sales Have Started Off With a BangAfter the slower market traditionally experienced in December, Bend home sales started 2025 with an strong uptick. Many home sellers are no longer waiting to spring to list their properties, and many buyers are back in the market, despite the 30 year mortgage rate near 7%. Both new listings and new sales were significantly up in January 2025 compared with the previous year.
Historically, during a presidential election year, home sales slow across the country. However, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR), … (2 comments)

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - 2024 Trends and 2025 Predictions
- 01/07/25 01:57 PM
More Bend Home Inventory and Moderate Price Increases Were the Norm for 2024 Sales 2024 Bend home sales experienced modest price increases for the year, but Bend home buyers were fortunate to have more options. Sellers who had hesitated putting their property on the market during Covid and following when mortgage interest rates were close to 8% finally had more inclination to do so when mortgage rates dropped to the mid 6% range during the summer of 2024. Delayed moves which were offset by high mortgage rates for a subsequent purchase finally made sense when rates dropped. Although there was an increase in home prices … (4 comments)

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - November 2024 Trends
- 12/06/24 03:21 PM
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%.

bend real estate: Bend Oregon Real Estate - October 2024 Trends
- 11/05/24 03:55 PM
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, home sellers which did not sell their properties during the summer peak selling season will often discount their asking price - often … (5 comments)
