This page tracks what homes in Oak Bend actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 4 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated September 2026.

Read this one loosely. Fewer than eight homes closed here in the last year, so every median on this page rests on a small sample and can swing on a single sale.

Reduced at least once 2 sales, closed at 102.9% of the reduced price36 days

Seller concessions

$8,850Typical credit when there was one

2 of 4Sales carrying a credit

A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.

How buyers paid

FHA 2 sales50%

VA 1 sales25%

Cash 1 sales25%

Cash was 25% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
