The Beacon Report – June 2019.
Increasing median sale prices and inventory.
The single-family residential (SFR) median sale price in Bend edged up to $466k in May and now has increased at record high levels for two months in a row. Redmond SFR median sale price also increased for the second month in a row, above prior record level. Interestingly, the SFR inventory level in Bend and Redmond increased slightly to around a three month supply. Perhaps a push back on prices? Only time will tell.
Given the $325,000 median sale price in Bend in May of 2015, the annual increase over time is approximately 9%/year, (taking into account time value of money). In Redmond over the same time period, the annual increase is approximately 8%/year.
Marketing time in Bend and Redmond remains below 3 months.
From all of us at Beacon Appraisal, have a great summer!
