As we brace for snow and winter settles into Central Oregon, it’s the perfect time to take a broader look at how each of our local markets performed in November.
Real estate across the U.S. has been widely described as challenging for sellers. Higher interest rates, longer days on market, and lower percentages of list price received have created conditions that resemble the post-recession market of 2011. But the real insights appear when we break things down city by city.
For this analysis, we’re looking at Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver, Prineville, La Pine, and Deschutes County as a whole, compared against national averages when available. Each of these areas represents a very different price point and buyer pool, so we’re focusing on three metrics that paint the clearest picture: Median Days on Market, % of Original List Price Received, and Supply of Inventory for closed single-family homes in November 2025.

Median Days on Market
USA Average (October): 63 days
(Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis — November data not yet available)
Deschutes County: 56 days
By City:
●Sisters — 23 days
●Redmond — 43 days
●La Pine — 55 days
●Bend — 60 days
●Prineville — 71 days
●Sunriver — 104 days
Smaller markets outside Bend and Redmond can swing more dramatically month to month due to low sales volume. Even so, it’s clear that Sunriver and Prineville are seeing the slowest movement, while Sisters’ strong DOM reflects that primarily only recently listed homes are selling quickly. Bend and Redmond, which make up the majority of the county’s transactions, and the county remains in line with national trends.
Supply of Inventory(How long it would take for all active homes to sell if no new listings were added. A healthy market is 3–6 months.)
USA Average (October): 4.4 months
(TradingEconomics & Macro Micro Economics)
Deschutes County: 4.1 months
By City:
●Redmond — 3.0 months
●Bend — 3.8 months
●Sunriver — 4.0 months
●Prineville — 5.0 months
●La Pine — 7.1 months
●Sisters — 9.0 months
One of the most notable insights is that Sisters shows the lowest Days on Market yet the highest inventory—highlighting again that new listings are selling, while older inventory is sitting. Bend and Redmond have seen inventory decline steadily since spring and are now back within a normal range, closely matching the national landscape.
% of Original List Price Received
(Example: A $1M listing selling at 93% = $930,000)
No national data immediately available
Deschutes County: 93.7%
By City:
●Redmond — 97%
●Sisters — 95.3%
●Prineville — 94.5%
●La Pine — 94.3%
●Bend — 93.3%
●Sunriver — 88.7%
Takeaways
●Redmond is currently the healthiest market across all major indicators.
●Sunriver remains the most challenging market for sellers, with long DOM, higher inventory
and the lowest list-to-sale ratio.
●Central Oregon largely mirrors what’s happening nationwide, despite the local nuances.
●In a market this uneven, having a knowledgeable advisor who studies the data daily and
negotiates at a high level matters more than ever.
