Bend Oregon Real Estate | May 2026 Trends
Buyer Activity Surges as Bend Home Prices Continue Modest Growth
The Bend real estate market continued to strengthen in May 2026, with higher home prices, more closed sales, and a significant increase in pending sales compared to one year ago. While affordability remains a challenge for many buyers, the market has shown resilience.
