It's no secret, Central Oregon is a popular vacation destination. But did you know that Bend was ranked as the third fastest growing city in America? With continued job growth, beautiful summers, sunny winters, and all the craft beer you can drink, it's no wonder Central Oregon continues to grow. Love it or hate it, it's happening.
So what does this mean for home prices? See the chart below:
If you're a home buyer, it's still a good time to purchase a home. Interest rates have remained steady in 2017, which allows for more overall buying power. For homeowners who purchased their home 3+ years ago and are looking to sell, it's a strong year to do so and move up to a larger home. You not only have equity in your current home, but will have an opportunity to purchase your new home with an overall low interest rate.
300 days of sunshine is almost unheard of but not for Bend! Most of our wet days come in the form of snow in winter.
Combined, that’s around 250 days of significant sunshine—not quite 300, but far more than most cities in the Pacific Northwest.
When you purchase a home, you might assume that you’ll move in as soon as the sale closes.
A magical place year-round, but there’s something particularly special about winter here.

This why I love Bend, we are here for each other during the best times but also during the hardest times.
From the great school system, multitudes of cultural events and resources, outdoor activities, and low crime rates.
