Seller to pay full escrow fee (includes buyer escrow fee)

This week the median list price for Redmond, OR 97756 is $599,900 with the market action index hovering around 36. This is less than last month's market action index of 37 Inventory has decreased to 148.

Market Action Index

This answers “How’s the Market?” by comparing rate of sales versus inventory.

The market remains in a relative stasis in terms of sales to inventory Prices have not been moving higher for several weeks. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI If the market heats up persistently, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.

Market Segments

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 generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 1 has been trending a bit downward in recent weeks. We'll need to see a persistent shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices across the board move from these 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

The market remains in a relative stasis in terms of sales to inventory. Prices have not been moving higher for several weeks. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up persistently, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.

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 109 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 86 or so days. Watch the 90-day DOM trend for signals of a changing market.

It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.

Economic Development For Central Oregon

Table of Contents

Welcome to Central Oregon

Where the commute times are short and breathtaking views await you at every turn. The region features dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges and high desert plateaus within Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties.

Located halfway between San Francisco and Seattle, one of the hottest small metropolitan markets in the U.S. is Central Oregon. In the last decade the region has seen some of the highest sustained GDP growth, job growth and population growth. With these factors in mind, The Milken Institute has named the region the best small metropolitan in the nation four years in a row – an unprecedented feat no other location has ever received.

Central Oregon is pulling extraordinary talent and capital, fostering a diverse and highly entrepreneurial business ecosystem. Deschutes County received the most investment in Oregon in 2022, according to Smartasset. Lured by natural scenic beauty and big city amenities without big city costs or hassle, people are learning that having a true work-life balance is possible. Employees are happier and companies are more innovative and capital-efficient. All in a region dominated by small to mid-sized firms that compete globally – and win.

Regional Population:

(2021 estimates from Portland State University)

Regional Labor Force:

(Seasonally adjusted total for 2021 from Oregon Employment Department)

253,761

123,953

Bend-Redmond MSA GDP Per Capita: $54,390

(2020 estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis) *Bureau of Economic Analysis data is only available for the Bend-Redmond MSA

Access to and from our region has never been easier with five national carriers flying up to 54 segments daily to nine international airports. Central Oregon is served by one of the most vibrant and successful regional airports in the country at Redmond (RDM).

POPULATION

Central Oregon has been among the fastest growing regions anywhere in the U.S.

In-migration has been the dominating factor in the region’s growth. With millions of visitors annually, Central Oregon continues to attract thousands of new residents from all over the country each year for it’s outdoor amenities, arts and culture opportunities, quality healthcare, and a growing education system.

“Central Oregon’s economic growth is stronger than the state and nation overall. The primary reason is the high quality of life that attracts new residents. Faster population growth means local businesses

can

hire and expand at a faster rate due to the influx of working-age migrants and the growing labor force.”

Josh Lehner Economist, Oregon Office of Economic Analysis

NEW RESIDENTS, NEW IDEAS & NEW ENERGY

With over 4.5 million visitors flocking to Central Oregon each year, it proves a great introduction to our region’s culture, lifestyle and a great first impression for businesses. Central Oregon and the Bend-Redmond MSA continually top the nation in population growth. In fact, Bend has been among the 15 fastest growing cities in the U.S. five of the last six years. While our population grows, so does our workforce. We’re cultivating a community that has consciously decided to live here and attracting new talent pools to serve the increasing demand for labor.

MOVE

Business Cost Comparison

Oregon offers more incentive programs to traded-sector* businesses than Washington or California. Even without taking those incentives into consideration, Oregon is still a more cost-effective choice for doing business. Contact EDCO for a detailed look at the business costs in Central Oregon. *companies that sell their products

We guide employers outside the region through the relocation process as a resource for regional data, incentives, talent, site selection, and A-Z problem solving.

“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.

Get connected to our growing industry clusters that include: craft brewing/distilling, bioscience, outdoor products, technology, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.

We link you to tools to help your company including: connections to the local supply chain, talent acquisition, incentives, business finance, market intelligence, and more.

WHY CENTRAL OREGON?

Central Oregon offers a pro-business environment with several incentives and supportive business finance options to encourage economic growth. Oregon also allows corporate net operating losses to be carried forward for up to 15 years without a cap, which can meaningfully reduce your business’s tax liability.

We help you navigate the regional and local real estate market, infrastructure and permitting processes.

For businesses looking to relocate, Central Oregon has a reputation for welcoming new companies. The region offers a tightknit community without sacrificing talent, education opportunities, or quality healthcare. EDCO’s network can help your business streamline decisions when choosing a new home.

START

* EDIT TITLE

We mentor and advise scalable young companies from concept to exit on issues such as access to capital, critical expertise and business strategy.

“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.

BEST SMALL CITIES FOR STARTING A BUSINESS

Both Redmond and Bend made WalletHub’s Top 30 list for best cities to start a business at #16 and #17 respectively, based on an index of criteria that included business environment, access to resources and business costs. They were the only two Oregon cities to make it in the top 350 of 1,334 small cities ranked in the index.

GROW

We partner with local traded-sector companies to help them grow and expand, offering them the very same incentives and assistance as relocation projects.

“Our flagship manufacturing facility is located in Bend, nestled at the base of the Cascade Mountain Range, which also inspired the brand name. The views and outdoor amenities are unmatched, but the entrepreneurial and community support we have received from day one has been the driving factor in bringing our homegrown business sustainable success in Oregon and beyond. Our employees, customers and partners are what make Bend home and inspire continued growth.”

- Affton Coffelt, Founder and CEO, Broken Top Brands

Case Study: Broken Top Brands

Broken Top Brands creates handmade, sustainable, eco-conscious candles and body products that have been featured in National media outlets such as BuzzFeed, Oprah Daily and HuffPost. Started in 2015 out of Founder Affton Coffelt’s kitchen in Bend as Broken Top Candle Co., the company has now blossomed to 19 employees and recently moved into an 18,000 SF manufacturing facility.

Broken Top Brands is currently selling an array of all natural, biodegadble and paraben-free lifestyle products in the USA, as well as Canada and parts of Europe. The brand’s market is primarily wholesale with an organically growing e-commerce presence. Customers can find their products in over 2,800 retail locations nationally and internationally, with Whole Foods being their largest account.

Broken Top Brands was attracted to starting a business in Central Oregon for its quality of life and supportive community. Due to it’s unique company culture and location, the business has had success retaining employees which has enabled its continued expansion. Although supply chain timelines and transportation costs have been challenges through the pandemic, Broken Top Brands has sustained steady growth and continues to partner with EDCO, 1% for the Planet, One Tree Planted, Opportunity Knocks, Bend Chamber, and Business Oregon to serve their loyal customer base.

#5 FOR 5-YEAR JOB GROWTH IN THE U.S.

Private sector employment grew by 47% in Central Oregon over the last 10 years, which is significantly faster than the statewide growth of around 20%. Employment in the private sector is projected to grow by 12% across the region between 2019 and 2029.

“Central Oregon enjoys a truly collaborative environment. Everyone is not only supportive of each other, but excited to see one another grow. We share the same trails, rivers and slopes and ultimately share a similar vision to help the region succeed.”
