Bend Oregon Real Estate | June 2024 Trends
Bend Home Prices Up as are Inventory Levels
Bend home prices are up year over year but so are inventory levels. The rate of the increase in Bend home prices has dropped, but we are still not experiencing overall reduced home prices. While buyers have more options, mortgage interest rates (just short of 7% as of July 3, 2024) remain high which has limited the buying power for many. July typically is the busiest month of the year for Central Oregon home sales and it remains to be seen whether the combination of high prices and high mortgage interest rates will curtail Bend real estate sales this summer.When June 2024 is compared with June 2023, the following changes for Bend single family home sales on less than an acre can be noted:

What Is Up With Bend Luxury Homes?
Bend High End Home Sales Reflect a Changing Market
It has been awhile since we last reported on Bend luxury home sales. We pulled a report showing year to date activity over the past three years. While Bend home prices in general are back to a small upward trajectory year over year, the numbers of sales are significantly down, as they are in all price points in most of the markets in Central Oregon and across the country.
