November 2026 ADVISOR: Bend Real Estate & Central Oregon Living
First snow in the Cascades and the first holiday markets of the season set the scene for the November ADVISOR from Bend Premier Real Estate.
This month, we look at why October's slower sales tell more about the Bend housing market than the median price alone. Closed sales fell 16.8% from a year earlier, while the median sale price for Bend single-family homes on less than an acre fell 3.6% to $732,500. We also look at what seller concessions can mean for buyers and sellers.
Inside, you'll find a neighborhood spotlight on The Bridges at Shadow Glen in southeast Bend, a fall hike through Moraine Lake and Wickiup Plains, a checklist for the next freeze, and a recipe for maple-roasted Brussels sprouts. Our November events page rounds up local holiday markets, Sunriver's Grand Illumination, and Thanksgiving morning runs and walks in Bend and Redmond.
Flip through the full November ADVISOR below.

Bend Oregon Housing Market Trends for October 2026
Bend Oregon Housing Market Trends for October 2026
The Bend housing market slowed further in October 2026 as mortgage rates averaging approximately 7.3% reduced buyer purchasing power and kept many financed buyers on the sidelines.
The median sales price declined 3.6%, closed sales fell 16.8%, and pending sales dropped 17.4% compared with October 2025. At the same time, cash purchases increased sharply and represented nearly 40% of completed sales.
These numbers do not indicate a housing crash or an oversupply of Bend homes. They show a market constrained by affordability, with fewer buyers able or willing to purchase at today's combination of home prices and borrowing costs.
