The Month of May in Bend is when people start to get especially active and the tourists begin to flock here in search of sunshine. That makes for an active month in the Bend Housing Market. In May 2017 our weather was not cooperative, with more cold and wet days than we typically have. Let’s take a look how this effected the May 2017 Bend Housing Market:
Bend Housing Market May 2017
Months of Inventory
May 2017 wrapped up with an average of 3.8 Months of Inventory for Bend Homes. That’s just shy of the 4 month mark which indicates a market where both buyers and sellers are without an advantage. And it’s an increase from the March 2017 inventory numbers we experienced. The 3.8 number indicates a deficit in available Bend home inventory, a trend we’ve seen far more often than not over the past years. This indicates the Bend Housing Market in May 2017 favored the home seller, but it was close to being balanced between the home seller and home buyer. Browse Bend Homes >
