The Year Comes to an End Whew! Finally! It seemed like the year would never end . . . another year of masks, vaccines, quarantines, mandates, and divisiveness. Also, another year of frenzied real estate activity in Bend. It seemed that 2o20 was one for the ages, but 2021 topped it! Historic inventory shortages, unabated…

Ch-Ch-Changes for the Bend Market
Ch-Ch-Changes Fall in Bend, and there’s more than just a whiff of change in the air for the local real estate market. It won’t happen immediately, and September was still pretty solid.

The Bend Market Stabilized in August
Stable Market (?) The media said that the Bend real estate market “stabilized” in August. I guess I’m not really sure what that means. We still saw the purchase of 248 homes . . . surely not a record, but still a pretty respectable number. A year ago in August, 303 homes sold. The…
Bend Market Cooled (a little bit) in July
The Bend Market Cooled Despite the hottest July on record, fully nineteen days over 90 degrees, the Bend real estate market cooled just a bit (a very little bit) for the month.

March 2021
The Bend Market Roared March in Bend was a whirlwind . . . I can’t remember if it came in like a lamb and went out like a lion, or vice versa. Whatever the case, the Bend real estate market roared on during the month. Though the number of purchases (single family residential on less…
