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.

Our November events page rounds up local holiday markets, Sunriver's Grand Illumination, and Thanksgiving morning runs and walks in Bend and Redmond.
