Bend Oregon Housing Market Trends for September 2026

The Bend housing market weakened in September 2026 as rising mortgage rates reduced buyer purchasing power and pushed more prospective purchasers to the sidelines. Although the median sales price remained nearly unchanged from last year, closed sales declined 16%, pending sales fell more than 21%, and the number of listings withdrawn, canceled or allowed to expire increased 65%.

That is no longer the case. In today's market, overpricing a luxury home doesn't just slow the process—it can materially impact the final outcome.

Is Bend Entering a Buyer's Market in 2026?

Homes moved quickly, buyers had limited leverage, and sellers often dictated the terms. That environment has changed.
