SOLD IN CENTRAL OREGON
Weekly Newsletter v.18
Week of July 7, 2026 | Redmond, Oregon Real Estate & Community
Hey friends,
Summer is humming right along in Redmond and this week has some really good stuff on the calendar. Let's get into it.
1. WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND REDMOND THIS WEEK
Trivia and Tacos at Elements Public House: Tonight, Tuesday July 7th at 6:30pm. Free to play, full menu plus Taco Tuesday specials, gift card prizes, and two hours of live trivia at 1857 NW 6th St. Bring a pen and some friends.
Music on the Greens: Wednesday July 8th, American Legion Park. Vendors open at 5:30pm, live music starts at 6pm. This week's band is The Substitutes, Central Oregon's self-appointed rock and roll border patrol since 1996. Bring a blanket, bring the kids, and come enjoy one of the longest running community festivals in Central Oregon. Free always.
Sisterhood Coffee at Kook'i: Thursday July 9th, 9-10:45am. Every Thursday this summer at 235 SW Sixth St. Come as you are, bring your babies, bring your mom, bring whoever. No agenda, no ice breakers, just coffee and good people. At 10:45 I walk across the street to Love Bird Yoga if anyone wants to join me. I have a few guest passes for anyone curious.
Sisterhood Book Club: Thursday July 9th at Mazatlan on 97. This month we're reading Across the Crying Sands by Jane Kirkpatrick, suggested by Jeanne. Historical fiction set on the Oregon Trail, exploring resilience, faith, and quiet strength. Come even if you haven't finished it. There is always room at the table.
2. THE MARKET THIS WEEK
The median list price pulled back to $615,000 this week after a few weeks at all time highs. Inventory climbed to 259 active listings and the Market Action Index is holding at 33. The Altos narrative is worth paying attention to: the MAI has been trending lower for several weeks even while prices have stayed relatively stable. If inventory keeps growing without a matching uptick in demand, we could start to see downward pressure on pricing.
The number I keep watching: 45% of active listings have had a price reduction. That's the highest we've seen all year.
New listings are coming in at a median of $565,000, well below the overall median, which tells me sellers entering right now are being strategic. The ones who aren't will show up in that 45% soon enough.
The takeaway: if you've been thinking about selling, sooner is still better than later. The data is starting to shift and getting in front of that matters.

3. FROM MY WEEK
This week I'm excited to be co-hosting the Redmond weekly MLS broker tour on behalf of Real Broker LLC alongside Curt Stafford with Western Title and Escrow. We've got some fun prizes including cookies from our own Sisterhood member Kalina Tucker with Cookies by Kalina, plus some other local goodies. If you're a broker in the area, come find us on tour this week.
Whether you're buying or selling, I have a few spots open right now for clients who are ready to move.
On the selling side, I bring 15 years of experience in price analysis and property marketing to every listing. The majority of my listings have sold in under 30 days because my sellers trust the data and we price it right from day one. If you or someone you know has been thinking about selling, I'd love an introduction. Even a quick "hey, you should talk to my friend Diana" means the world. We'll grab a call and see if we're a good fit, no pressure either way. And if you know someone who might need me, sending them my way is the highest compliment you can give.
On the buying side, it works best when we're all on the same team: you, me, and a trusted lender working together with good communication from day one. That's what gets you into a home you love without a lot of unnecessary stress. If you're open to that kind of process, I think we'll work really well together. If you're ready, I'm ready.
Talk soon,
Diana Pullen
