What does a healthy real estate market actually look like in Bend, Oregon as we head into 2026? In this market update, Brian Ladd is joined by Erin Martin and Steve LaCrosse of The Ladd Group to break down what’s really happening in Central Oregon real estate — beyond the headlines. After years of volatility, the Bend market is showing signs of balance. Interest rates have eased, prices have flattened, wages are beginning to catch up, and inventory is finally turning over. Buyers now have time to make thoughtful decisions, while sellers are seeing stability and real demand when homes are priced and positioned correctly. This conversation covers: What “increased affordability” actually means How interest rates, prices, and wages are working together Why inventory is rising and why that’s healthy What absorption rate tells us about buyer demand How long homes are really taking to sell Whether waiting until spring actually makes sense What buyers and sellers should consider heading into 2026 This is not about predicting a boom or a crash. It’s about understanding the data, avoiding fear-based decisions, and creating a strategy that fits your long-term goals.
