Our Predictions for Redmond Real Estate Sales in 2021
With the average price of a Bend Oregon home now over $600,000, homebuyers in Central Oregon are finding that Redmond offers wonderful homes at a price that works better for many. And Redmond also qualifies for USDA loans as well - another reason homebuying in Redmond is a viable option for future and current Central Oregonians. The December 2020 figures for Redmond months of supply for single family homes on less than an acre show that there are 3 weeks of homes available for purchase - almost as tight with inventory as Bend. Until the demand drops, we expect that lack of inventory will remain an issue with Redmond homebuyers and prices should continue to rise.
