Bend Oregon Home Prices Up

The Bend real estate market continues to be impacted by a limited supply of inventory, rising prices and changing seasons. August 2019 was a strong month for Bend home sales and we believe the lack of summer forest fires may have impacted our market positively.

When August 2019 is compared with August 2018 for Bend single family residential sales on less than an acre, the following trends can be noted:

• Homes for sale down 5.5% to 585
• Homes sold down 5% to 248
• Homes pended up 4.1% to 229
• Average price per square foot up 4.3% to $266
• Average days on market down 4.4% to 86
• Sold/original listing price difference is 0
• Average active home price is up 2.9% to $681,000
• Average sold price is up 7.1% to $558,000
• Months of inventory is unchanged at 2.4*
