Its a Mixed Market for Bend Home Sales

August is usually a month where home buyers with young children close their purchases and get settled before school starts. It is also a month in which sellers who didn't sell their properties during the peak summer selling season consider their next options. Often, for those who really need to sell, lowering the asking price can be the answer. For others, taking their property off the market may make more sense. However, in 2025, the August Bend home sales reflected a mixed market with prices up, closings up, inventory up and days on market up.

When August 2025 is compared with August 2024, th...

It is Taking Longer to Sell Bend Homes

Summer is traditionally the peak selling season for Central Oregon homes. For home buyers looking to buy a Bend home before school starts, July is usually the month when many purchases happen, with August the month for closing these sales and new owners moving into their new homes. While July 2025 has followed these trends to a certain extent, the change in the market with high mortgage interest rates limiting buying power, it has become a price driven market with sellers recognizing that if they really need to sell, the asking price has to match today's market and not that of previous years.

Click Here to see the Q2 Market Trends for Bend Real Estate and Redmond Real Estate, as well as the Q2 real estate trends in Sunriver, La Pine, Sisters, Prineville, Madras, Powell Butte, and Black Butte Ranch. In Q2 2025, the Bend Oregon Real Estate market and surrounding communities experienced a change, typically seeing a significant increase in inventory year over year with more homes, more new listings, and consistently more days on market. Buyers had more choices with the increased number of homes for sale and sellers were more inclined to consider offers under asking price. The number of listings grew, days on market increased in many markets, and prices decreased slightly in the larger markets of Bend and Redmond. However, despite the increased number of homes for sale, Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Prineville and Madras reflected a seller's market, although much less strong than in earlier quarters; Black Butte Ranch, La Pine and Sunriver were in a balanced market with Powell Butte in a very strong buyer's market with 32 months of supply.

Its All About Price for Bend Home Sellers

In a transitioning real estate market where home buyers all of a sudden have many choices, it comes down to asking price in whether or not home sellers have showings, much less offers. For Bend home sellers who experienced multiple offers with less than a month of supply (sometimes less than two weeks) pushing home prices upwards during the Covid Pandemic, this change to the Bend real estate market can be challenging; adjusting to a more balanced market can lead to frustration and disappointment, but for sellers who are willing to revise their asking price based on
