Buyers had more choices with the increased number of homes for sale and sellers were more inclined to consider offers under asking price. The number of listings grew, days on market increased in many markets, and prices decreased slightly in the larger markets of Bend and Redmond. However, despite the increased number of homes for sale, Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Prineville and Madras reflected a seller's market, although much less strong than in earlier quarters; Black Butte Ranch, La Pine and Sunriver were in a balanced market with Powell Butte in a very strong buyer's market with 32 months of supply.
