    What These Numbers Mean for Bend Buyers and Sellers

    Bend's housing market presents a nuanced picture for anyone tracking the Housing Market Trends module above. The median sale price sits at $724,606, moving -0.1% year over year, while homes trade at a median of $391.87 per square foot. On the surface the sale-to-list ratio of 99.08% and the 18.6% of homes closing above asking suggest firm seller footing, but the underlying indicators tell a more balanced story. With 39.9% of active listings recording price reductions and 3.2 months of supply, buyers have measurably more room to negotiate than the headline price would imply.

    Median days on market now stands at 24, a -8 days change in market time that signals homes are taking longer to clear. Meanwhile 38.1% of listings still leave the market within two weeks, which shows that correctly priced, well-presented homes continue to move quickly while overpriced inventory lingers and eventually cuts. For a buyer, this split means leverage is real on stale listings but limited on fresh, competitively priced ones, so patience and disciplined offer strategy matter. For a seller, the data argues for pricing at or just under market from day one rather than testing a premium and later joining the 39.9% that discount.

    With 619 active listings, 832 new listings, and 646 pending sales each month, the balance between supply and demand is shifting toward negotiation. Among 868 licensed agents in Bend, choosing one who understands these micro-conditions is what separates a smooth transaction from a costly one.

    What Bend Home Prices Mean for You

    Understanding the true cost of homeownership in Bend goes beyond the listing price. These calculators break down what today's market conditions mean for your budget, your timeline, and your negotiating position.

    +0.40%
    What this shift means: Compared with a year ago, prices moved -0.1%, the sale-to-list ratio shifted +0.40%, and market time reflects a -8 days change. Taken together, the trend points to a market where demand remains but urgency has cooled, giving buyers slightly more time to evaluate and negotiate. Sellers should read this as a signal to price against current comparables rather than last year's peaks.

    What to Look for in a Bend Realtor

    Name recognition and yard-sign frequency are poor proxies for the outcomes that actually matter: net proceeds, days to contract, and how well an agent defends your price during negotiation. The verified performance data tells a clearer story. Among Bend's 868 licensed agents, EffectiveAgents has ranked 44 based on measured transaction history. The top-ranked agent, Ken Mucha at High Desert Realty, has closed 689 transactions with $282.9M in all-time sales volume, a track record that spans price points and neighborhoods from Awbrey Butte and River West to the more moderately priced blocks of Boyd Acres and the Orchard District. That depth matters when 18.6% of homes close above list yet 39.9% of listings still cut price, because negotiating leverage varies street by street. A proven agent knows when to hold firm in Summit West and when to structure concessions in a slower Southwest Bend listing. When you evaluate candidates, look past star ratings alone and study review patterns over time, consistency across 114-plus reviews signals reliability far better than a handful of recent five-star entries.

    How We Rank Bend Real Estate Agents

    Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Bend market today.

    Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

    Bend Real Estate Agent FAQs

    Who is the best real estate agent in Bend, OR?

    The top-ranked agent in Bend, OR, by EffectiveAgents' verified methodology is Ken Mucha at High Desert Realty, with 689 closed transactions, 114 reviews, and $282.9M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using measured transaction history, review consistency, and closing performance rather than advertising spend or name recognition. Of the 868 licensed agents working in Bend, only 44 meet the ranking threshold. The right choice depends on your neighborhood and price point, so compare several verified profiles before deciding.

    How were these Bend real estate agents ranked?

    Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.

    How many real estate agents are in Bend?

    Our data covers 868 real estate agents serving the Bend area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Bend market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

    What does the median sale price in Bend mean for sellers?

    Bend's median sale price is $724,606 as of June 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.

    How long does it take to sell a house in Bend?

    The median home in Bend goes under contract in about 24, though that figure reflects a -8 days change in market time versus last year. Actual timelines vary widely: with 38.1% of listings leaving the market within two weeks, correctly priced and well-presented homes move fast, while overpriced ones contribute to the 39.9% of listings that eventually cut. Pricing accuracy, condition, seasonality, and neighborhood demand all shape the timeline. Add roughly 30 to 45 days after acceptance to close a financed sale.

    Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?

    No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.

    Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?

    No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.

    What commission do Bend realtors charge?

    Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.

    Should I use a local Bend agent or a national brand?

    The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Bend neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.

    What questions should I ask a Bend realtor before hiring them?

    Ask how many homes they have closed in Bend in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
