Duke Trend Report for Bend & Redmond for November 2018

0

We are continuing to see a positive and consistent market as we leave the fall season behind and head into the winter months. The trends for November show a continuation of a steady market in both Redmond and Bend. The Fall months were an active time in Bend and Redmond for sellers and buyers alike, and now that we’ve moved into the colder months, we are still seeing positive trends throughout Central Oregon, along with a great selection of homes and bare land to choose from.

Inventory
The number of active listings in Bend dropped slightly from 553 in October to 457 in November. In Redmond, there were 223 active listings in October and then a slight drop with 199 active listings in November. The numbers for Bend show us that there are plenty of homes to choose from. There were 24 active listings in the $225,000-$325,000 range, 111 in the $325,100-$425,000 range, 109 in the $425,100-$525,000 range and 57 in the $525,100-$625,000 price range. Both Bend and Redmond’s market had fewer price reductions in November than we saw in October and slightly fewer pending homes as of the end of November, for both cities. Redmond’s new, active listings dropped slightly from 82 in October to 58 in November.

With the steady market, buyers look for competitive pricing as they compare properties.
