Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Jefferson County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Jefferson County has been building, with active listings up nearly 19% year over year to 180 and slightly higher than last month. Contract activity is mixed, as homes sold have climbed about 40% from a year ago while pending sales are down more than 28% over the same period.
Price trends are showing some adjustment after earlier highs. The typical home value is a little under $375,000 and is modestly higher than a year ago, but both sale prices and the median list price have dropped roughly 9% to 10% compared with last month.
Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market stretching to 75, up both month over month and year over year, and months of supply is elevated at 7.6 compared with 4.2 statewide in Oregon, reinforcing a buyer’s market reading. With about 26% of homes now selling above list and the average sale-to-list ratio essentially at 100%, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands how to navigate these shifting conditions.
Jefferson County offers residents a welcoming community with abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, thriving local farms and small businesses, and a vibrant schedule of cultural and recreational opportunities.
Jefferson County combines open landscapes, small city convenience, and easy access to Central Oregon’s outdoor recreation. Centered on Madras, with communities like Metolius and Culver, the county offers practical livability for residents who value both space and connectivity.
Daily life is grounded in useful amenities. Madras provides essential shopping, local healthcare, and services, while nearby Redmond and Bend expand options for employment, dining, and entertainment. Commuters appreciate direct routes along US‑97 and OR‑26, along with regional flights from Redmond Municipal Airport. Families can explore local schools in the Jefferson County School District 509J and take advantage of programs at the Jefferson County Library.
Outdoor access is a major advantage. Residents spend weekends at The Cove Palisades State Park on Lake Billy Chinook, hiking, boating, and camping close to home. Golfers enjoy Desert Peaks Golf Course, while the Madras Aquatic Center & Recreation District provides indoor pools, fitness classes, and youth activities year round. Community events and local dining in Madras keep social life active without big city congestion.
Whether you are weighing a move to Jefferson County or planning to sell and relocate within the region, the right local agent can clarify neighborhoods, pricing, and future growth.
