If you tried to buy a home a few years ago, you probably still remember the frenzy. Homes were listed one day and gone the next. Sometimes it only took hours. You had to drop everything to go and see the house, and if you hesitated even slightly, someone else swooped in and bought it – sometimes even sight unseen.

That kind of intensity pushed a lot of buyers to the sidelines. It was stressful, chaotic, and for many, really discouraging.

But here's what you need to know: those days are behind us.

Today's market is moving slower, in the best possible way. And that's creating more opportunity for buyers who felt shut out in recent years.

The Stat That Changes Everything

According to the latest data, homes are spending an average of 58 days on the market. That's much more normal. And...

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.

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
