Bend Oregon Housing Market Trends for October 2026

The Bend housing market slowed further in October 2026 as mortgage rates averaging approximately 7.3% reduced buyer purchasing power and kept many financed buyers on the sidelines.

The median sales price declined 3.6%, closed sales fell 16.8%, and pending sales dropped 17.4% compared with October 2025. At the same time, cash purchases increased sharply and represented nearly 40% of completed sales.

This is not evidence of a housing crash. However, it does show that Bend is experiencing a meaningful correction in pricing expectations. Buyers remain interested in Central Oregon, but they are taking their time, comparing their options and avoiding homes that appear overpriced.

The statistics in this report compare August 2026 with August 2025 a...

Why Some Bend Homes Are Selling — and Others Are Sitting in 2026

The Bend real estate market has become increasingly selective in 2026. Homes are still selling, buyers are still moving to Central Oregon, and desirable properties continue to attract attention.
