While the Market Action Index shows some strengthening in the last few weeks, prices have not seemed to move from their plateau. Should the upward trend in sales relative to inventory continue, expect prices to resume an upward climb in tandem with the MAI
Market Segments
Slight Seller's Advantage
Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price
Median List Price
Again this week we see prices in this zip code remain roughly at the level they’ve been for several weeks. Since we’re significantly below the top of the market, look for a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices move from these levels.
Segments
In the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code have settled at a price plateau across the board. Prices in all four quartiles are basically mixed. Look for a persistent shift (up or down) in the Market Action Index before prices move from these current levels.
Price Per Square Foot
The market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both been reasonably stagnant. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator before the market moves from these levels.
Inventory has been falling in recent weeks. Note that declining inventory alone does not signal a strengthening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is changing with the available supply.
Market Action Index
While the Market Action Index shows some strengthening in the last few weeks, prices have not seemed to move from their plateau. Should the upward trend in sales relative to inventory continue, expect prices to resume an upward climb in tandem with the MAI.
Market Action Segments
Three of the four quartiles of this zip code are in the Seller’s Market zone with relatively low amounts of inventory given the current levels of demand. It’s not uncommon that the premium segment of the market takes longer to sell than the rest of the group.
Median Days on Market (DOM)
The properties have been on the market for an average of 122 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 89 or so days. Watch the 90-day DOM trend for signals of a changing market.
Segments
It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.

About Our School
BULLYING, HARASSMENT, AND SAFETY POLICIES
We put safety as our number one priority. Our building procedures are founded in safety for children from the beginning of the day to the end of the day. We have district and school policies that come to life in our all school training, small group classes and individual work with our counselor. We use Kelso's Choices and Character Strong for our proactive all-student training. These strategies are reinforced through the year and as data indicates for whole grades, individual classes and student to student conflict resolution. All our visual resources mirror these practices and we work intentionally with staff to develop them to the fullest annually.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Our extracurricular activities reflect our commitment to the whole person. At Barnes Butte, we believe that academic and social growth are equally as important. Students across the grades experience learning events both on campus and off. Our core curriculum guides our academic standards and then the staff looks for ways to bring that learning to life. Students can take on leadership roles, they often are out in the field for hands-on learning and every grade attends a variety of trips that gets the students connected to the world around them.
PARENT ENGAGEMENT
Engaging families is central to our work at Barnes Butte Elementary. We want families to feel welcome as they drop off their student in the morning, volunteer at school or trips, attend school sponsored evening events, or join the PTO. Raising a child is a partnership and doing this work to the best of our ability is best done together.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Connecting with our community is part of our central mission. We believe that the more the community connects with and supports the local educational systems, the more future stewards we are able to shape. Our students benefit from guest speakers, interactive presentations, and various exciting and engaging field trip destinations. Through the year there are family events. We offer support services in both English and Spanish.

It has allowed us to hire amazing employees – the available talent here in Central Oregon has proven to be of the highest caliber and chocked full of integrity. Sometimes you feel like you can get lost in a big city. In Sisters we have been able to be part of a growing and nurturing business community.” - Wyatt Woods, President and Owner, Holy Kakow
Case Study: Holy Kakow
Founded in Portland in 2009, Holy Kakow creates premium organic chocolate sauces and syrups that are used in coffee shops across the nation and globe. After running the business for nearly a decade, Founder Wyatt Woods decided a move to the City of Sisters would be beneficial for his family. The next step was to figure out how to move the successful business. After EDCO’s help with site selection, incentives, permitting, and more, Holy Kakow was able to move their operations into a new building in the Sisters Business Park. The relocation allowed them to scale for growth, even during the pandemic, expanding their employment from three to eight in the span of a couple months.

* EDIT TITLE
START

“The support we’ve received from EDCO and other organizations has been tremendous and allowed us to grow and develop our network and further develop our business in a short time. Their proactive approach to assisting and encouraging entrepreneurship in this region has been paramount to some of the large strides we’ve taken this year.”
- Ryan Goodwin, Founder & Lead Designer Engineer, SherpTek
Case Study: SherpTek
SherpTek was among the first tenants to take occupancy in the redeveloped Woodgrain mill site, re-branded the “Prineville Campus,” where they design and manufacture modular truck bed systems and accessories to improve the functionality and adaptability of pickup trucks for day-to-day use and outdoor adventures.
SherpTek is an innovator in the automotive/outdoor industry. Their Founder and Lead Design Engineer, Ryan Goodwin, uses composite aerospace materials and construction methods to create a lightweight, yet super durable, precision-engineered product. SherpTek was one of Prineville’s first companies to pitch at EDCO’s Central Oregon PubTalk, an event that showcases local entrpreneurs. The company has been and continues to be supported by EDCO as well as many local and State partners in areas such as business financing, incentive utilization, internship coordination, staffing, network connections, scalability, and pitch coaching. Despite having just moved their start-up to Prineville earlier this year, SherpTek has ingrained itself into the entrepreneurial fabric of the region. They are already expanding their manufacturing facilities, hiring additional employees and training local high school students on their specialized processes.
A driving force for our economic performance is a collaborative and inclusive entrepreneurial community. This is supported via the number of new business registrations, which has outpaced far larger cities. In 2022, AdvisorSmith ranked Bend fifth for Top Midsize Cities where Americans Start the Most Businesses at 3.79 businesses started per 1,000 residents.
The region is large enough to provide resources and access to capital that help new entrepreneurs get started, while still being small enough that those resources are interconnected to support businesses as they grow. Unique to Central Oregon, given its size, are the numerous community resources and assets that are available. Assets managed by EDCO include monthly Central Oregon PubTalks, the Stable of Experts mentorship program and the largest Angel Conference in the PNW, the Bend Venture Conference.
