October 2008 Real Estate Market Snapshot for Sisters, OregonAs summer transitions into fall, the Sisters real estate market continues to experience only minor changes. We did see another slight dip in the number of listings (down from a summer high of 243 in July to 192 in October), but there was also a slight decrease in the number of sales (from a high of 11 in June and July to eight in October). The high volume of inventory -- an 18-month supply of Single Family Residences and a 36-month supply of homes on one acre or more -- continues to be a concern for sellers here, while the many options in a broad range of price points should appeal to potential buyers.

Below are a few October highlights of the Sisters market.
