“Before you make up your mind about buying or selling in Bend, let’s make sure we’ve looked at all the facts. Here is a look at whats happening in the Bend Real Estate market right now, November 12th, 2025.”
The Waiting Game:
Everyone's asking the same question right now - should I wait or should I move? Bend's market is whispering contradictory messages: opportunity for some, caution for others. Local broker Justin Scott cuts through the noise to reveal what's really happening in Central Oregon and why your next move matters more than your timing.
Selling Your Home in This Market
FACTS FOR SELLERS ✅ You've still got a slight edge in Bend, but with 122 days on market and half your competition dropping prices, nail your pricing strategy from day one or risk joining the discount crowd in a sea of 711 listings.
BRUTALLY HONEST FOR SELLERS ‼️ You're entering a crowded arena where half your competition has already blinked and dropped prices. Unless you need to sell now, why compete in November and December’s buyer markets, when spring historically brings hungrier buyers and perhaps thinner inventory? Time is your friend here.
Buying a Home in This Market
FACTS FOR BUYERS ✅ Bend's buyer-friendly buffet: 711 homes to choose from, half already price-dropped, and sellers sitting for 122 days, strong negotiating, a $600k-$900k+ budget, and competition still lurks on well-priced homes.
BRUTALLY HONEST FOR BUYERS ‼️ 711 homes, 122 days on market, 52% already discounted ➡️ this market is begging you to wait. Let sellers sweat through winter while you watch prices drop and desperation rise. Your dream home will still be there in March, likely at a lower price.

“The good news is that I'm ready to help. Let's talk if you, or someone you know, is planning to make a move this Winter or Spring. Chairlift conversations packed with powder laps are preferred.”
Why Your Next Move Matters More Than Your Timing
The truth most agents won't tell you: perfect timing is a myth we chase while opportunities slip away.
Whether you're buying or selling in Bend right now, the how will always outweigh the when.
Buyers who wait for rock-bottom deals or rates often miss the home they have their eye on. Sellers who wait for peak market conditions often end up competing with a dozen other spring listings in their neighborhood, all fighting for the same buyer pool.
Your next move matters because it's built on strategy, not speculation. It's about pricing right from day one, negotiating with confidence, understanding inspection issues before they derail deals, and knowing which properties will hold value in Central Oregon's market. It's about having someone in your corner who lives here, works hard, and knows the local housing market.
The market will do what it does.
Your move, STRATEGIC, INFORMED, and ALIGNED with your life, is what changes everything.
