What Happens in the First 7 Days After Your Home Hits the Market in Bend
When a home hits the market in Bend, most sellers assume the process unfolds over weeks or even months. Showings build, interest develops, and eventually the right buyer appears.

Homes moved quickly, buyers had limited leverage, and sellers often dictated the terms. That environment has changed. The question now being asked—quietly by buyers and more urgently by sellers—is whether Bend is entering a buyer's market in 2026.
