Central Oregon is still in a strong seller's market, despite prices that are moderating slightly. The current wave of price reductions appears to be adjustments to over-priced listings, although rising interest rates impact many buyers. With more homes listed for sale every day, it will be interesting to see if our inventory of homes continues to increase. Keep an eye on mortgage interest rates, as an increase will equate to more homes for sale and fewer buyers able to purchase.
