Central Oregon Market Report - December 28, 2022



Sisters Woodlands You may have noticed a new project breaking ground in downtown Sisters, near the Ranger Station and a few other U.S. Forest Service buildings. It's close to the roundabout on Highway 20 that connects the two separate parts of downtown Sisters. This large triangular lot of land is now being reinvented to offer multiple housing options and active commercial spaces. Check out the link below for a look at the Elder Cottage, a residential option with a 2 floor layout, offered in their first phase of development. If you have anymore questions on the project, call me direct!

Every market is different and every person's situation offers unique challenges or opportunities.

Market Snapshot

The graph below is a great depiction of the drastic changes we've seen in the market over the past year - biggest of which is inventory. Active inventory increased quickly in the Summer months while new listings dropped off quite a bit. Sold listings has stayed fairly consistent throughout the year. All three categories have began to dip and I assume they will continue to do so through the seasonal swing. The real question is how much these lines will will move in unison over the coming months to set a new norm for our market!
