My Bend Home Is Not Selling. Why?
If your home is sitting on the market in Bend right now, you're not alone—and you're likely asking a very direct question:
"Why isn't my house selling?"
A short time ago, most homes in Bend would sell quickly with minimal friction. That is no longer the case. The market hasn't collapsed, but it has shifted into something more balanced—and more selective.
Homes are still selling every week.

The phone calls started coming in last week. Buyers who'd been sitting on the sidelines since rates climbed above 7% suddenly wanted to talk numbers again. The reason? Mortgage rates have fallen to their lowest point in over a year, hovering just above 6% for qualified borrowers.
For Bend's real estate market, this shift changes the equation in ways that go beyond simple monthly payment calculations. The question isn't whether lower rates matter—they do. The question is what smart buyers should do about it right now.
The Monthly Payment Reality
A half-point drop in interest rates might not sound dramatic until you run the numbers on Bend's median home price. On a $650,000 purchase with 20% down, the difference between a 6.5% rate and a...
