February 2026 Bend Housing Market Update

January’s numbers tell a very different story than December’s. What looked like a quiet, disciplined market at year end has shifted as we move into 2026. We often say that this time of year can be very weather dependent, and with the mild conditions, activity has picked up.

January 2026 Bend Housing Market Update

At first glance, December’s numbers look uneventful. Activity slowed, fewer homes came on the market, and prices edged lower. That description, while accurate, misses what is actually happening beneath the surface. When we compare December not just to November, but also to the same time last year, a clearer picture emerges. This is not a market losing momentum. It is a market that has become more selective, more segmented, and more sensitive to strategy.

December 2025 Bend Housing Market Update

As we move into the final stretch of the year, the Bend housing market is showing a familiar seasonal slowdown. However, the underlying story is more nuanced than the headlines often suggest.

At the same time, sales activity held up better than last year, reminding us that demand has not disappeared. Instead, it has become more selective and more price-sensitive.

November 2025 Bend Housing Market Update

As we move into the holiday season, the Bend real estate market continues to reflect a mood of cautiousness. Sellers do not want to leave money on the table, and buyers don’t want to overpay.  Sellers are increasingly pragmatic, adjusting pricing and expectations, while buyers remain patient, often waiting for value to emerge.
