About Bend's Tumalo

Like Sisters, Tumalo's real estate market saw only minimal changes from September to October. Once again, the number of Active Residential with Acreage listings shrank (if only slightly, from 86 to 85). That continued Tumalo's downward trend in inventory, from a high of 99 RW listings in January. Similarly, the supply again decreased slightly, from a 26-month supply in September to a 25-month supply in October.

Meanwhile, the median price for Active RW listings in Tumalo also decreased slightly (from $722,000 in September to $719,000 in October), as did the number of Active million-dollar listings (down from 29 to 28).

As a horse-property specialist, Tumalo has always been of particular interest to me because that's where you'll find many of the most desirable horse properties in Central Oregon. Because its boundaries are up to interpretation, please consider the following statistics a general barometer of the area's real estate activity that includes most, but not necessarily all, of the listings in Tumalo.

For the third month in a row, Tumalo's real estate market was most notable for its decreases (which is actually good news). Once again, the number of Active Residential with Acreage listings shrank (from 93 to 86), which continued Tumalo's downward trend in inventory (from a high of 99 RW listings in January). Similarly, the supply again decreased, to a 26-month supply in September (compared to a 40-month supply in February).

That decrease in supply can be attributed in part to the ongoing increase in sales. And this month, eight of the 13 Pending and Closed sales were above $500,000 -- more good news for sellers. Although the median price for Active RW listings in Tumalo also increased (from $689,000 in August to $722,000 in September), the number of Active million-dollar listings remained below 30 again (for only the second time this year).

Like last month, Tumalo's real estate market for August was most notable for its decreases. Once again, the number of Active Residential with Acreage listings shrank (from 97 to 93). And, unlike Sisters -- which has almost doubled its inventory so far this year, from 136 Residential listings in January to 217 in August -- Tumalo has seen an overall decrease throughout the year (from 99 Active Residential with Acreage listings in January to 93 in August).

The median price for Active RW listings in Tumalo also continued to decrease (down from $875,000 in January to $689,000 in August), as did the number of Active million-dollar listings, which fell below 30 for the first time this year. That's good news for buyers, many of whom have been priced out of the Tumalo market for some time.

There was one notable increase this month -- in sales, which rose from eight pending and closed sales in July to 14 in August. More good news for sellers: Once again, there were several sales above $500,000, including two sales above $1 million.
