Bend’s Median Now $418,000 . . . Market Update
September 2017 Aside from some early (too early!) season snow, September was sort of a boring month in Bend. The real estate market seemed to take note as well; nothing too exciting as it continued to chug along on its merry way. Real Estate in Bend For the sixth straight month, we saw more than…
Snow, Smoke, The Eclipse
Life in Bend . . . Snow, Smoke, The Eclipse It’s been an interesting year . . . as we moved into the latter days of August, I’m sure that some Bend denizens would say that the area possesses only three seasons–snowy season, smokey season, and eclipse season! The Bend Market Fortunately, the Bend real…
Oops! We did It Again . . . Bend’s Median Price Hits $412,000
Oops! We did it Again . . . With apologies to Britney Spears, we did it again . . . that is once more breaking the all-time record for highest median price . . . this time at $412,000 (up from $409,000 last month)! Where will it stop? July Data in Bend While some sniff…
Bend’s Median Price Tops $409,000 . . . All-Time High (Again!)
Bend’s Median Price Hits All-time High (Again)! In May, Bend’s population reached an unfathomable 91,122. In June, it was Bend’s median price that hit the stratosphere at a lusty $409,900. I can remember blithely writing this pithy piece back in July of 2009 . . . the median price was $217,000 and there were 335…
Bend’s Population Hits 91,122
Bend’s Population Hits 91,122 Say it ain’t so! Despite our best efforts (Bend Sucks . . . Don’t Move Here!), Bend’s population topped 90,000 in May. Of course, I’m joking about our “best efforts” . . . our livelihood is dependent on growth and new arrivals. Bend Real Estate The non-stop in-migration seems to be…
Welcome to Bend!
April in Bend The weather couldn’t decide what it wanted to do (and neither could we) . . . seventy-five degrees one day–incredible golf on the Fazio course at Pronghorn or a bit of standup paddling on the Deschutes (maybe both!). Just two days later, 10″ of blower pow at Mt. Bachelor. That’s Bend in…
Bend’s Median Price Soars to $397,800 . . . Highest All Time!
Preface . . . The Hukilau As Bend’s winter continues to roll into spring, I feel guilty (almost!) writing this pithy piece from the lanai of our beachfront vacation home on Malaekahana Bay on Oahu’s famed north shore. It is a hard life, but, then again somebody’s got to do it . . . a…
“Oh Somewhere in this Favored Land . . .”
Oh Somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light . . .* Maybe not in Bend (at least not the sun part). Perhaps a bit of a Snowmageddon 2017 hangover . . . whatever the reason, the Bend real estate market in February…
“Snowmageddon 2017”
“Snowpocalypse” in January If we got hammered in December in Bend, it was full on “Snowmageddon 2017” in January. Schools were closed for days on end; the roof of the old gym at Kenwood School collapsed (thankfully, no one inside); we lost the cherished (even I knew where everything was), though closed, Ray’s Food Market….
Bend Market Dips in December!
December in Bend December dumped on us; swamped us with a prodigious amount of snow (21.6″) in Bend, and some of the best early season riding ever at Mt. Bachelor. But a great year in real estate ended with a bit of a whimper. Sales volume for December was OK (190 homes purchased); the median…
