The Residential With Acreage (RW) real estate market remained strong in Tumalo during September, with nine closed sales. (Last year at this time, there were just five sales.) Included in the Closed sales was yet another million-dollar sale; that’s the fourth straight month that Tumalo has had a million-dollar sale. What’s more, by the end of the month, two properties listed between $800,000-$850,000 were under contract.
Although Tumalo has experienced more million-dollar sales activity this year than most markets within Central Oregon, the most popular price point for both Active listings and Closed sales in Tumalo during September was the $450,000-$499,000 bracket, with nine Active listings and four Closed sales. Also of note: For the first time since January 2012, the median price for Active listings dipped below $600,000 (to $575,000).
Meanwhile, the lack of inventory continues to be a concern. Although we’re moving toward the slower winter months, there were fewer Tumalo listings in September than August. Entry-level horse properties are especially hard to come by: As in August, there were just four Active RW listings in Tumalo below $300,000.
