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

This week the median list price for Redmond, OR 97756 is $609,396 with the market action index hovering around 36. This is less than last month's market action index of 37 Inventory has increased to 268.

Market Action Index

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

Real-Time Market Profile

Median List Price $609,396 Median Price of New Listings $575,000 Per Square Foot $330

Days on Market 84

Slight Seller's Advantage

The market has been cooling over time and prices plateaued for a while Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we’re in the Seller’s zone. Watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its 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

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 generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 1 is on a bit of an up trend 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. 7-Day

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 plateaued for a while. Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we’re in the Seller’s zone. Watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

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 82 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 48 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.

Review of digital records maintained by the Deschutes County Assessor’s Office, Tax Office, Finance Office, and the Community Development Department indicates that there are no special tax, assessment or property development related notations associated with this account. However, independent verification of the presence of other Deschutes County tax, assessment, development, and additional property related considerations is recommended.

About Our School

BULLYING, HARASSMENT, AND SAFETY POLICIES

RSD considers the safety of children our greatest priority. Everyone is welcome in school and we recognize the diversity and worth of all. We ensure physically and psychologically safe, secure and orderly learning environments. Secondary schools provide proactive instruction and student need-based tiered supports. It is our goal to create a respectful and welcoming school culture where students thrive. Full-time counselors and deans provide support for bullying prevention. RSD uses SafeOregon to report unsafe behavior and follows all policies outlined in our Rights & Responsibilities Handbook.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Obsidian offers a comprehensive music program. Band/Choir students have an opportunity to attend multiple festivals as well as host concerts periodically. Obsidian embraces student passions in regards to student-generated clubs and activities. Our students compete in interscholastic sports throughout the school year. These include volleyball, football, cross country, boys and girls basketball, wrestling, soccer and track. In addition our student leaders serve in a variety of ways outside of the classroom including community, athletic, and social events.

PARENT ENGAGEMENT

We believe that family partnerships are essential to growing lifelong successful learners and citizens. Therefore, OMS hosts a number of family-centered events every year in response to requests from the community. OMS believes in using family voice and feedback to improve the quality of our services. At OMS, parents are encouraged to volunteer both during the school day and at evening events. In addition to whole school community events, we host parent conferences twice a year focused on individual support and partnership in support of our students.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Obsidian seeks opportunities throughout the year to engage with our community, including: partnering with local agencies to improve the quality of services to students and families, engaging community organizations in meaningful growthcentered dialogue, and inviting dozens of local professionals into the school to speak with students. We value giving back to our community and host a winter gift drive; our student leadership group has adopted a local road to caretake, and we host and write letters to local Veteran’s learning about, and thanking them for their service.

“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.

* EDIT TITLE

START

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.

Our employees, customers and partners are what make Bend home and inspire continued growth.” - Affton Coffelt, Founder and CEO, Broken Top Brands
