SOLD IN CENTRAL OREGON
Your Weekly Update from Diana Pullen Week of June 2, 2026 | Redmond, Oregon Real Estate & Community
Hey friends,
I skipped last week and I'm not going to pretend I didn't. Memorial Day weekend with family won and I have zero regrets. We visited with family camping in Crooked River Ranch, I had those two open houses and the short week sort of got me all discombobulated. It is what it is.
We're back this week and June is already off to a full start. Here's what's going on.
REDMOND OR REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE | JUNE 2, 2026
Redmond Oregon Housing Market: What the Numbers Say This Week
The median list price in Redmond, OR 97756 moved up to $610,000 this week, but I want to be straight with you: the numbers underneath that headline are worth paying attention to.
The Market Action Index slipped to 32, down from 33 last month. Inventory is at 241 active listings. Median days on market jumped to 56 this week, up from 49 last week, and the average is sitting at 94. That gap between median and average is still wide and it's still telling the same story it has been for weeks.
A few things I'm watching:
43% of active listings have had a price reduction. That's the highest we've seen all spring. New listings are coming in at a median of $569,900, well below the overall median of $610,000. That tells me sellers entering the market right now are being realistic. The ones who aren't are the ones showing up in that 43%. Median rent ticked up to $2,395, which is worth noting if you're weighing renting versus buying or holding an investment property.
The Altos narrative said it well this week: the market has been cooling over time and prices have plateaued. We're still in seller's market territory but the MAI has been drifting lower for a while. If that trend continues, we'll start to see downward pressure on prices.
The takeaway: if you've been thinking about listing, sooner is better than later. I'm happy to run your numbers, show you what your net profit would look like, and give you a realistic picture of how long it would take to sell. No pressure, just data. That's what I'm here for.

READY TO BUY OR SELL? HERE'S WHERE I CAN HELP.
Spring is busy and I'm in it. I'm currently working with several buyers looking at raw land and single family homes across all three Central Oregon counties: Jefferson, Deschutes, and Crook. Each one has its own character and I genuinely love learning the nuances of each area.
On the listing side, I would love to help anyone who is considering selling understand what their home is worth in this market and what to expect from the process. I can help you calculate your net profit, walk through timing, and put together a real strategy. No obligation, just a conversation. With my 15 years of listing experience in multi family housing, this is really my bread and butter.
I can help with real estate anywhere in Oregon, with a focus on Redmond and Central Oregon. And if you or someone you know is moving out of state or relocating here from another state, I am connected with thousands of agents across the country and Canada. I've personally moved cross-country more than eight times, including several moves to and from Texas, so I know what that process looks like from the inside. I can connect you with the right people wherever you're headed.
Reach out anytime. I'm always happy to talk through your situation.
WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND REDMOND: JUNE 2-7, 2026
Your Redmond Oregon Community Events Guide
Tonight: Bingo at Initiative Brewing
Every Tuesday night at 5:30pm, Initiative Brewing hosts bingo with all proceeds benefiting the Redmond Senior Center. I just found this one and thought it was worth sharing. They don't list the buy-in on their page so I'd bring $10-20 just to be safe. Good cause, fun night.
Tonight: Trivia and Tacos at Elements Public House
Also tonight at 6:30pm: Useless Knowledge Bowl Trivia at Elements Public House, 1857 NW 6th St. Free to play, full menu plus a Taco Tuesday menu, and gift card prizes. Two hours of live trivia with a locally owned and operated host. Bring a pen and some good vibes.
Two fun options on a Tuesday night in Redmond, which honestly is not something I would have guessed a year ago.
