September 2026 Bend Premier Advisor: Bend Real Estate & Central Oregon Living
September 2026 Bend Premier Advisor: Bend Real Estate & Central Oregon Living
Fall is beginning to arrive in Central Oregon, and the September 2026 edition of Bend Premier Advisor brings together the latest Bend real estate market information with ideas for enjoying the season ahead.
This month, we take a closer look at the August 2026 Bend housing market, where the median sale price was $725,000 and nearly 45% of closed sales included a seller concession. With buyers having more negotiating opportunities, we also explore an increasingly important question: Is a seller-paid mortgage rate buydown more valuable than a price reduction?
Our September Community Spotlight takes us to Tetherow, one of west Bend's distinctive golf and lifestyle communities, known for contemporary high-desert architecture, resort amenities, trails and convenient access to the road to Mt. Bachelor.
And because living in Central Oregon is about much more than real estate, this month's Advisor also includes September home maintenance tips, a Maple-Dijon Pork Tenderloin with Apples recipe, and ideas for getting out and enjoying fall. We share our recent hike into Jefferson Park in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness, along with September festivals, farmers markets, music and other things to do around Central Oregon.
Explore the September Bend Premier Advisor below for local real estate insight, home ideas and a little inspiration for enjoying life in Central Oregon.
