Slight Seller's Advantage
The market has been cooling over time and prices have recently flattened. Despite the consistent decrease in Market Action Index (MAI), we’re in a Seller’s Market (where significant demand leaves little inventory available). If the MAI begins to climb, prices will likely follow suit If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.
Market Segments
Slight Seller's Advantage
Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price.
Median List Price
We continue to see prices in this zip code bouncing around this plateau. Look for a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices move from these levels.
$1.2M
$1.0M
Segments
In the quartile market segments, we see the upper end of the market in this zip code showing signs of strength. While this strength hasn't percolated through to Quartiles 3 and 4 yet, expect the low end of the market to follow up, should the upper-end strength continue.
Price Per Square Foot
The value placed on homes continues to increase, despite the fact that prices in general have been basically flat recently. These conditions can arise when inventory is light and more, smaller homes have more influence on overall prices. 7-Day Average
Inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.
Market Action Index
The market has been cooling over time and prices have recently flattened. Despite the consistent decrease in Market Action Index (MAI), we’re in a Seller’s Market (where significant demand leaves little inventory available). If the MAI begins to climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.
Market Action Segments
Not surprisingly, all segments in this zip code are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the high-end) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a slowdown for the whole group.
Median Days on Market (DOM)
The properties have been on the market for an average of 63 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 29 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.

“While our move to Central Oregon may have started for personal reasons, it has allowed us to do more with our business than we thought possible. 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. Holy Kakow have their sights set on new product launches. With the backing of the community and the growing number of craft food businesses in Sisters, the company is surrounded by a strong business ecosystem to help them succeed.

“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.
