While the median sales price of a single-family home in Bend declined in February, the number of homes selling for more than a million dollars rose, according to a monthly real estate report.

About 16% of all home sales in Bend in February were for more than $1 million, according to the monthly Beacon Report. That’s fewer than in July when nearly a quarter of all sales were more than a million in Bend, said Donnie Montagner, Beacon Appraisal Group LLC owner.

Inventory remained at about a 1½ month supply, and the number of sales increased in February, compared the previous two months.

“Prices are stabilizing and Bend looking like it’s dropping in price, but other things are at play, like the number of homes selling for more than a million,” Montagner said. “Redmond’s consistent single-family housing products are proving to be stable.”

For the first time in nine months, the median sales price of a single-family home in Bend dipped below $700,000. In February, the median sales price was $682,000, according to the report prepared by the Beacon Appraisal Group LLC of Redmond. It is taking Bend homes about 40 days to sell, just up a tad from January when it took 43 days, according to the report.

However, in Redmond, the picture is a bit rosier in terms of sales price. For the past three months, the median sales price of a single-family home in Redmond has been over $500,000, according to the report.
