Read the median with care

Seven closings is a small sample. With counts this low the median moves with which homes happen to close, not with what any given home is worth. The June figure is 17.0% above last June, but that is mix, not appreciation. What holds up across small months is the negotiation spread, and at a 98.9% sale-to-list ratio, Sisters sellers are giving up less of their asking price than sellers anywhere else in Central Oregon.

If you are selling

Supply sits at 5.9 months as of July 9, balanced but drifting toward the buyer side, and the median active listing has been waiting 70 days. The buyers who do show up close strong, so this is a market that rewards patience and punishes stale pricing. Only 7.7% of active listings have cut their price, the lowest share in the region, which means most sellers are holding their number and the ones priced right are the ones closing at 98.9%.

If you are buying

Expect competition from cash. With 71.4% of June closings unfinanced, a financed offer wins on terms, not just price, so tighten your timeline and your contingencies where your lender allows. There are 39 active listings to work with, and ten sold over the last 30 days, so the market is moving even if it never hurries.

The bottom line

Sisters remains a low-volume, high-conviction market. If you want to know what your home would bring, request a valuation and we will run the comps. If you are shopping, browse current Sisters listings or check the live Sisters market dashboard.
