BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — The Bend home sales market hit another record in April, and got there in dramatic fashion: an $84,000 jump in a single month, to $832,000, Beacon Appraisal Group said Wednesday in its monthly real estate report.
That’s well above the previous record median price of $800,000, reached last fall and in the summer of 2023.
Of the 146 Bend home sales recorded in April, over a third (34%) were for $1 million or more, appraiser Donnie Montagner said.
Bend’s housing inventory, meanwhile, climbed to a four-month supply.
“As expected for this time of year, the SFR (Bend single-family residential) marketing time fell from nearly a month in March to 23 days in April,” Montagner added.
Redmond’s housing market also experienced a short marketing time in April and an increase in the number of sales, when compared to March. April’s median sales price of $540,000 is in line with the prices seen in March to July of last year, Montagner said.
