Bend Home Sales Slow
There is a seasonal slow down experienced every fall for Bend real estate sales. When school starts, many would-be Bend home buyers focus on other things. While retirees and second home buyers may be active in early to mid fall, once Thanksgiving comes, the number of Bend real estate sales drop as both buyers and sellers tend to concentrate on holiday activities with home sales secondary to celebrating the season.

When November of 2023 is compared with November of 2022, Bend single family home sales on less than an acre reflect the following:
- Average sales price up 3.5% to $859,650*
- Median sales price up 1% to $702,750
- New listings down 26.1% to 82
- Homes for sale down 29.9% to 281
- Pending sales down 18.7% to 87
- Sold homes down 24.1% to 104
- Average days on market up 22% to 50
