Bend Homes for Sale Vs Sold

Home values in Bend have changed considerably since coming out of the great recession. What was unheard of in 2011 has become common with Bend million dollar homes selling regularly and contractors willing to build spec homes at this price point. Bend home sales have been impacted by lack of inventory for many years, but with the rise in Bend home values, many of the lower end buyers have been priced out of the Bend market and have instead purchased in outlying areas.

We are seeing a transition in the Bend real estate market and a slight increase in inventory.  The following graphs show twelve months of sales/new listings in 4 different price ranges for Bend single family homes over the past 3 years:

Bend's Luxury Home Sales Trending Up

As the American economy continues to improve and citizens have more confidence and money to spend on housing, the value of real estate has grown across the country.  Bend is no exception. Bend's average home price has grown by roughly 10% per year since coming out of the great recession, greatly due to the demand on housing coming from new residents moving to Central Oregon in large numbers. For many of these new transplants, the real estate market in their original city is greatly inflated and home values way beyond those of Bend. When they sell, they can often pocket a large amount of cash from the equity in their home. This in turn has driven up housing costs within the city as these new Bend residents can afford to purchase property which is beyond the ability of many locals.
