Bend Home Inventory is Up With Closings Down

The data has been published and the early spring trends year over year for 2025 reflect Bend's single family home real estate market with prices still rising, inventory up considerably, pending sales up, days on market up, and overall closings down.

Bend Home Prices Appear to be Leveling Off

Spring 2025 has begun with many economic and political changes within the country. The uncertainty of tariffs and the stock market may ultimately result in a pull back in home sales.

Bend Real Estate Inventory is Way Up

More Inventory Means More Choices for Bend Home Buyers

There are more homes on the market for potential Bend home buyers to choose from than there were at the same time last year. With more inventory, there has been more motivation for sellers to negotiate price and terms with buyers. This in turn has resulted in homes selling for less than asking price, often after price reductions, in order to generate offers. While the overall sales price is up slightly over the same time last year, the months of supply is up over 11%.

When the data from November 2024 for Bend single family home sales on less than an acre is compared with those from November 2023, the following changes can be seen:

• Average sales price up 4.1% to $888,821
• Median sales price up 2.6% to $711,875
