Beacon Report – Marketing Time Comments Correction In relation to the marketing time figures provided in the earlier email, I failed to state that marketing times were calculated differently beginning in April of 2020.  In preceding years, the marketing time was calculated from the list date to the sale date.  As of April 2020, that changed to calculating from list date to contract date.  Below is a table that adjusts the DOM prior to April 2020 in order to account for a 40 day escrow period between pending date to close date.  The high noted in 2020 was prior to the change in DOM calculation and is, therefore, adjusted in the table. 4 to 15 days marketing time remains lower than what is seen in past years (adjusted) and will [... read more]

Market Trend – June 2021

June 9, 2021 | 0 Comments

National housing inventory levels increased slightly in April 2021 to 4.4 months, the highest level since May of 2020, which was 5.3 months (according to Federal Reserve Economic Data – FRED).  The same source shows average interest rates ticked up to 2.99% on 6/3/2021 for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. SFR inventory levels in Bend and Redmond scarcely increased in May 2021.  Heavy competition between buyers and lack of supply are continuing to fuel the increases in sale prices. Bend  SFR shows a decline in median sale price in May 2021 when compared to the high median sale price of $651,000 in April 2021.  It is common for the Bend SFR market to show significant increases and declines in median sale prices due to the wide [... read more]

Bend SFR price chart shows a decline ($535k) in median sale price last month from October ($560k).  The median home size in Bend is smaller in November (1,920sf) than it was in October (2,006sf).  Therefore, between these two factors, median home size and sale price, the price per sf calculates to $279/sf, same as in October.  In November, the number of sales in the $700-1Mill+ price range declined slightly from October. October: 80 sales $700k – $1Mill+November: 78 sales $700k – $1Mill+SFR inventory in Bend remains below a half month supply.Redmond SFR median sale price also declined slightly last month, and SFR inventory dropped to under a half month supply.Marketing times in Bend and Redmond and most smaller Central [... read more]

Change in Reporting of DOM You will note a considerable difference in the Days on Market in this report, which is the result of a new MLS platform that properly counts the days on market from the list date to the contract date.   The prior platform provided the total time between list date and closed date.  In summary, SFR median sale prices in Bend and Redmond increased in April while the number of sales took a downward turn, unlike the trend noted in the past several years.  Although the number of sales dropped, the inventory remains around a two month supply.   We wish you a safe and healthy spring season.  The link to the recent Beacon Report is below.

Annual Rate Increase Observation The SFR median sale price in Bend has increased for the second month, at records levels. Looking further into the trend, I found something interesting.  Since 2015, and calculating the Time Value of Money, there has been an annual increase in the SFR median sale price of approximately 8.95% per year.  My records show that in the mid to late 1990’s there was annual rate of increase of 5%-9%, which was prior to the unreasonable increases that preceded the recession. The median SFR sale price in Redmond also increased last month and inventory remains at around 3 months.  Over the past four years, the annual rate of increase in Redmond is 8.86%/yr. I wish you the best this Fall season. Link to Beacon [... read more]
