A few years ago, homes were flying off the shelves and getting multiple offers well over their asking price. It felt like you could name your price and still have buyers lined up at the door.

But today's housing market is different. Buyers are getting more selective now that inventory has grown. Homes are sitting a little longer. And more sellers are having to cut their prices.

So, how do you still come out on top? It all starts with one thing, pricing your house right from the start. Today, that matters more than ever – and it can make or break your sale.

There's a Real Price Disconnect Between Buyers and Sellers

A recent survey from Realtor.com shows 81% of home sellers believe they'll get their askin...

Central Oregon Market Trends 2nd Quarter 2024

The Central Oregon real estate 2024 market trends for most of the major urban areas continue to reflect a seller's market in 2nd quarter, although that has changed in La Pine where inventory levels at 7.4 months reflect a buyer's market; Powell Butte and Madras are in a balanced market at 6 months. Although still in a seller's market, inventory is at a level in Bend that hasn't been seen since July, 2015 when the average home price was $391,000 and mortgage interest rates were at 4%.* With more inventory, days on market have also ticked up, but well priced homes can still sell quickly and multiple offers can happen. BendRedmond and Sunriver are showing strong upward trends in all categories (the only exception for Bend is the number of homes sold) with home prices, listings, inventory levels and days on market all rising. As we move into 3rd quarter, we expect mortgage interest rates may drop, which could enable more home buyers to afford a Central Oregon home.

Brasada Ranch is a Destination Luxury Resort Community in Powell Butte

Developed prior to the housing crash of 2008, the first 200 homesites offered at Brasada Ranch sold out in a weekend. This special community offers three clubs - athletic, equestrian or golf - as well as privacy and panoramic views. While the development suffered as did all Central Oregon real estate during the great recession, Brasada Ranch came out of those challenging times stronger and with a great vision. It quickly became a very popular destination for many looking for a vacation home or a year-round residence offering the peace and tranquility of the high desert, while all the while enjoying three great active clubs and their amenities. The residents of Brasada Ranch believe as do the readers of Conde Nast Traveler that it is among the "Best Resorts in the World (2021), The United State...

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.  Higher interest rates have changed the buying power of would-be home purchasers, even in the high end, and have also kept many would-be sellers off market. Why sell when the mortgage interest rate many homeowners have is so good? A replacement home, while potentially being better for the current lifestyle of a home seller, may cost more on a monthly basis with the higher interest rate with which they may need to purchase.

When the first six months of high end Bend home sales are compared year over year between 2022 and 2023, the following change...
