Introducing The Local Perspective. Real Estate. Real Insight. Central Oregon.
From our office in Sisters — every Monday, the numbers that actually matter in our market, and what they mean for you.
This week, one headline: the leverage has shifted to buyers across most of Central Oregon.
- 5 of our 7 local areas now sit at 5.5+ months of supply — buyer's-market territory
- Bend median sale (Sept): $759,000, down 1% from last year
- 30-year rates: 7.4%, the highest in nearly three years
Bend is the holdout at ~3.5 months. Everywhere else, buyers have room to breathe — and negotiate.
Save this post. See you next Monday.
