December 2025 Bend, Oregon Real Estate Market Update
Who Hit the Pause Button?
Winter has arrived in Bend, and with it, the market slowdown we expect every year.

New listings slid again this month — roughly 20% fewer year-over-year. Not surprising for December.

How long will they wait?
Typically just a few more weeks. January and February bring a substantial inventory rebound.
