2023 Bend Real Estate Recap

🤩 2023 Bend Real Estate Recap: +7% vs. last year!

➕7️⃣% Despite spiking interest rates, Bend homes still appreciated an average of 6.93% in 2023 - in a year where some markets declined!

In 2022, our market grew over 12%, so at 7% in 2023 we are finally getting closer to a "normal" appreciation cycle, despite abnormal market conditions.

❔What was abnormal?

It's rare for both prices AND interest rates to rise at the same time. Usually higher interest rates would push home prices down.

❔What was different in 2023?

Low inventory kept prices high.

❔But why was inventory so low?

Well it's easy to see when you understand that 6 out of 10 homeowners are locked into sub-4% interest rates and weren't going to sell in exchange for a rate that was twice as high.
