Bend Real Estate Report . . . A Review–Summer of 2024
A Long Hot Summer! In the past, I’ve bragged too much (moi?) about never missing a month (well, maybe one or two) in over 15 years of writing this pithy newsletter/blog. That inimitable record flew out the window with our long hot summer (in July, 29 days over 90 degrees in Bend!) . . ….

Bend Market Report . . . 158 Sales, Median Price Hits $705,000
April 2024 We got the April showers! We got the sunshine (maybe not 300 days per year)! We managed to snowboard a bit. We maybe played a round or two of golf as well. We also had a pretty active month in the Bend real estate market. We saw the purchase of 158 homes ….
March 2024 . . . Spring Has Sprung!
Spring Has Sprung! Quite the original heading! And I’m having a rather difficult time getting this newsletter off in a timely fashion once again. Too much work you say? Maybe a bit too much time on the mountain or at Pronghorn (below). Whatever the case, bottom line is that we’ve only missed a couple of…
February . . . “You’re My Little Valentine!”
You’re My Little Valentine First, the good news . . . we topped the 100 sales plateau for the first time in three months (with 109); still a far cry from the halcyon (pandemic) days of 2021 when we saw seven consecutive months of more than 200 sales. On the not so good side, Bend’s…
January 2024 . . . And The Beat Goes On (Slowly)
January 2024 January brought us some much needed snow, a bit of rain, and a wild ice storm that made roads near impassable and the emergency room a regular meeting place, but the Bend real estate market started the new year much like it ended the old one. Kinda boring . . . We once…
December 2023 . . . The End of a Difficult Year
December 2023 Another funky month (actually a pretty funky year) and not even any photos of Costa Rica . . . we saw the purchase of just 92 homes (single family residential on less than an acre); that’s the second lowest total in more than 15 years. One of a very few months where we…
November 2023 and “Pura Vida”
November 2023 A funky month, no doubt . . . but haven’t they all been lately? We saw the purchase of just 108 homes (single family residential on less than an acre); that’s the lowest figure in 10 months. Median price dropped also, to $702,750 after a yearly high of $800,000 in July. Available inventory…
October 2023 . . . Same Old, Same Old!
October in a Nutshell In October, we got exactly what we expected from the Bend real estate market–to put it bluntly–more of the same old slop! 129 sales (single family residential on less than an acre) . . . the fourth consecutive month under 150 (with no sign of that changing). To put things into…
September 2023 . . . Just A Tad Bit Uncertain!
Market Report . . . September 2023 This is starting to get kinda boring . . . as predicted, we did get more of the same in September. Though often considered a healthy month (181 sales in 2022; 242 in 2021), this past September just didn’t make it. Rising interest rates (topping out around 7.7%)…
Bend Real Estate . . . August 2023
A Bit of a Dud August real estate in Bend was a bit of a dud . . . maybe it was families wrapping up vacations or kids prepping for a return to school; maybe it was the smoke, or perhaps the continuing concerns about inflation or rising interest rates. Whatever the reasons, August was…
