Days on the market are down, median price is up. Yes, the sales statistics from May emphasize the continued desirability of the NorthWest Crossing neighborhood of Bend.
The average days on market for a NorthWest Crossing home sold in May was 61 days. That is the third-shortest time on record for that statistic (taking into account only those months with at least five homes sold). The 61 days is right about half as long as the average DOM for the Bend, Oregon, real estate market as a whole in May. The average days on market in NorthWest Crossing for every other May dating to 2010 has been at least 90 days.
Ten houses in NorthWest Crossing were sold in May, compared to the historical average of 8.4 in May.
