REALTORS® in Central Oregon as well as else where in the US often talk about the glory days. The days of multiple offers, when a house had multiple offers before a flyer could be printed or a sign put in the ground! Well in Bend and other areas of Central Oregon they’re Back!
This last weekend I showed property to 3 different buyers and we had similar results, MULTIPLE OFFERS! One buyer was looking in Bend in specific neighborhoods, one was looking in La Pine for homes under $200,000 with a shop and the third was looking for a specific condo project in Sunriver.
Buyer’s if you are coming to the Central Oregon area and looking to purchase a home that is unique, well priced or recently had a price reduction, know that there are most likely many other buyers watching the same properties as you are. Be ready to write that offer before you take the chance of losing that dream home you have waited so long to obtain.

There has been a lot of buzz about the real estate market in Bend Oregon because the inventory is low and homes are selling. Bend has made national news in many forums as one of the improving markets and all.
The lower priced homes (under $200,000) are moving faster than other price ranges obviously, but what some buyers do not realize is how quickly some homes are moving. It is not unusual for a well priced and cared for home under $200,000 to receive multiple offers.
Sadly, when I look at the listings in this price range that did not sell many of them had terrible photos and sometimes no photos. We all know that the majority of our buyers start their search online and make their first choices of which homes they will view online. This means good photos are a must.
Buyers that are educated in the market, know that if they want a top quality home in this price range they must react quickly to a new listing. The offer must be fair and a win win for everyone.
Now is a great time to list your Bend home, take a look at the list below for what your current competition is in Bend under $200,000. These homes are frame built, on all lot sizes and all over the Bend area.
I am currently looking for listings in this price range to provide to buyers and would be happy to meet with homeowners to give them a realistic idea of where they fall into the market place. Give me a call or drop me and email, let’s see if we can get your property sold.

Many people want to live in Bend, but they still want the feel of the country and not so much the city life. It is completely possible, Bend has several areas where lots are at least an acre. The list below are just a few of the choices currently available in Bend Oregon with at least an acre of land.
Many of the homes with acreage are perfect for horses, many have spectacular views of the Cascade Mountains.

One of the great things about Central Oregon is the sunshine, which makes for perfect golfing for many months of the year. Most of the communities in Central Oregon feature at least one golf course and many have multiple golf courses. Bend, Prineville, Sunriver and even La Pine has golf courses. Many of the golf courses are well known from some of the events held in Central Oregon. The LPGA and Jel-Wen Traditions have both contributed to Central Oregon Golf Courses being brought to the worlds spotlight.
Golf Course homes come in all shapes and sizes. Most will have lots of natural light, because they tend to have big expansive windows overlooking the golf course. Many of the golf course homes in Central Oregon have great outdoor living spaces. Decks overlooking the golf course are very popular in the Central Oregon Real Estate market, and what a better way to spend an evening that just sitting and enjoying the beauty of the views.
