The Average Cost to Build a House in Oregon
In 2023, the average cost to build a house in Oregon is $125 to $160 per square foot, but it’s easy to exceed that average range. When choosing to build a home, there are many factors that must be considered. What size & type of home are you looking for? The number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and fixtures can quickly raise the price of your custom home. Based on HomeAdvisor.com’s estimates, the typical cost to build a house in 2022 ranges from $110,995 – $451,111. In Bend, Oregon the average is $250,000.
About Bend & Central Oregon
Central Oregon has some of the most scenic areas, not only on the west coast, but in the entire country. Consisting of three counties: Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook, this area experiences huge tourism due to mild temperatures and activities such as fishing, hiking, rock climbing, and pretty much any other outdoor activity you can imagine.
These factors play into the fact that the population of Bend is growing at a rate of 2.7% annually and reached its highest population of 106,023 in 2021. This also means that there are fewer and fewer options for pre-built homes available for people looking to move to Bend.
What is the Median Cost of a Pre-built House in Central Oregon?
According to Realtor.com, in September 2021 the median listing price for a home in Bend was $689,000 with a price/sq ft of $366. In Deschutes County, where Bend is located, the median listing price was $597,000 and had a price of $342 per square foot. These numbers also reflect a “sellers market” which means there are more people looking to buy than there are homes available.
