This page is the live, ongoing snapshot of Bend’s single-family real estate market. Numbers update monthly.

Active Inventory by Price Band

Price band Active listings Share of inventory
Under $500K 135 15.4%
$500K to $750K 256 29.3%
$750K to $1M 146 16.7%
$1M to $1.5M 134 15.3%
$1.5M to $2.5M 153 17.5%
Over $2.5M 50 5.7%

The largest share of Bend’s active inventory sits in the $500K to $750K band. Buyers in this band have the most options. Sellers above $1.5M face longer decisions and a smaller pool of qualified buyers.

What These Numbers Mean

Months of supply at 5.0 = balanced market. Neither side holds a structural advantage. Sellers cannot expect bidding wars on every listing the way they could in 2021 to 2022. Buyers cannot expect to negotiate aggressively the way they could in early 2024. Both sides have to be precise on price.

Median sale-to-list at 96.8% means most sellers take a small concession. A home listed at $700,000 typically closes around $677,000. This is normal in a balanced market. The number was 99.2% during the 2022 frenzy and 95.8% in late 2024 when inventory peaked.

Year-over-year price decline of 9.1% is the cooldown signal. Bend’s median sold price has come off its 2025 peak. This is broadly consistent with what is happening across Oregon and the western US. It does not mean a crash is in progress. It means the market is finding equilibrium after several years of aggressive appreciation.

Days to pending at 28 days is fast for a balanced market. In a true buyer’s market, expect 60 plus. In a seller’s frenzy, expect 7 to 14. Twenty-eight days means well-priced homes still move quickly, but overpriced homes sit.

Methodology

All figures on this page are calculated from the MLS data feed for Central Oregon (COAR/MLSCO) refreshed daily into Ryan Realty’s internal database (Supabase project dwvlophlbvvygjfxcrhm).

Filters applied:

  • City = 'Bend'
  • PropertyType = 'A' (single-family residential, excludes condos, townhomes, manufactured, land)
  • For the 6-month window: StandardStatus = 'Closed' AND CloseDate >= 2025-11-08
  • For active inventory: StandardStatus = 'Active'

Months of supply formula: active_listings / (closed_last_6_months / 6). Thresholds: 4.0 or less is a seller’s market, 4.0 to 6.0 is balanced, 6.0 or more is a buyer’s market. Source: National Association of Realtors / Federal Reserve.

Sale-to-list ratio: Final close price divided by the original list price (not the last list price). This captures the impact of price drops over the marketing period.
