Bend’s housing market is steady, balanced, and full of opportunity for those ready to make their next move. While prices have fluctuated slightly month to month, long-term data shows home values have held strong for over three years—a testament to Bend’s lasting appeal and lifestyle-driven demand.
- Think Beyond the Headlines
Monthly shifts don’t define the market. Sellers who focus on long-term trends and accurate local data are better positioned to price with confidence and attract serious buyers.
- Timing Matters
Seasonal slowdowns are softer than usual, meaning fall listings are performing better than expected. Listing before spring’s influx of inventory can give your home an early advantage.
- Price with Purpose
The average Bend home sells for 98% of its final list price and 93.5% of its original, showing the importance of strategic pricing from day one. A realistic approach prevents delays and price cuts later.
- Elevate Your Presentation
Nearly one in five Bend homes goes pending within a week. The common thread? Strong visuals, professional staging, and exposure on premium marketing platforms like Sotheby’s International Realty.
- Stay Ahead of the Market
With inflation easing and a possible Fed rate cut ahead, buyer activity could increase as financing conditions improve. Sellers who act now may capture that momentum early.
