Central Oregon Real Estate Trends
January 2026
Bend, OR Housing Market
As January 2026 began, Bend’s real estate market eased into its customary winter slowdown, with fewer new listings and a more measured pace of buyer activity following the momentum of late 2025. This seasonal shift brought a quieter rhythm to the market, though underlying demand remained intact—particularly among buyers focused on lifestyle-driven moves and long-term value in Central Oregon.
Despite reduced activity, Bend continued to show resilience. Pricing held relatively steady, with only modest seasonal adjustments rather than significant corrections. Well-prepared and appropriately priced homes continued to attract attention, signaling that buyer interest has not disappeared but instead become more selective. For buyers, the slower pace offered improved negotiating opportunities and additional time to make informed decisions.
Overall, January reinforced Bend’s position as a highly desirable yet competitive market. While winter naturally tempers activity, Bend’s strong fundamentals—limited inventory, sustained demand, and unmatched access to outdoor recreation—remain firmly in place. For those planning ahead for spring or evaluating long-term investment potential, the current season presents an opportunity to engage the market thoughtfully before activity accelerates again.

Redmond, OR Housing Market
As January 2026 unfolded, Redmond’s real estate market settled into its typical seasonal slowdown, with buyer activity easing and the pace of new listings moderating after the busier fall months. This shift was expected for winter and reflected a more deliberate, thoughtful market rather than a loss of demand. Interest remained steady across a wide range of buyers, from first-time homeowners to long-term investors continuing to watch for well-positioned opportunities.
What stood out during this period was the market’s underlying stability. Pricing trends remained relatively balanced, with modest adjustments rather than abrupt swings—an encouraging sign that Redmond’s growth continues to be supported by genuine, long-term demand. For buyers, the slower pace created breathing room, allowing more time to evaluate options and negotiate thoughtfully as new listings continued to come online across various price points and neighborhoods.
Overall, January reinforced Redmond’s reputation as a dependable and accessible market within Central Oregon.
