There are currently 1546 active listings, 236 contingent sales, 211 homes pending, and 153 homes sold in August 2009. The median sales price is $225,000. I think it’s interesting that there are 326 homes for sale under $200,000 yet that’s not the most active segment of the market. The majority of the sales are over $200,000. Affordability is an issue in Bend. Now we have homes available for less than $200,000 but buyers are focusing on the higher priced homes. We even have about 100 homes for sale under $150,000. Of the active listings, 86 are bank owned and 309 are short sales. Of the pending sales, 62 are bank owned (30%) and 40 are short sales (19%). Roughly 50% of pending sales are distressed sales. Of the homes that sold in August, 56 were bank owned (36%) and 26 were short sales (...

Like last month, Tumalo's real estate market for August was most notable for its decreases. Once again, the number of Active Residential with Acreage listings shrank (from 97 to 93). And, unlike Sisters -- which has almost doubled its inventory so far this year, from 136 Residential listings in January to 217 in August -- Tumalo has seen an overall decrease throughout the year (from 99 Active Residential with Acreage listings in January to 93 in August). The median price for Active RW listings in Tumalo also continued to decrease (down from $875,000 in January to $689,000 in August), as did the number of Active million-dollar listings, which fell below 30 for the first time this year. That's good news for buyers, many of whom have been priced out of the Tumalo market for some time. Ther...

(Sale Pending - 9/3/09) When this brand new modern home first hit the market at $219,900 I planned to write a blog post about it but it went pending after about a week on the market. It's back on the market with a new price - $199,900. The home has 2 bedrooms/2 baths, and 952 square feet. It does not currently have a garage but the seller has the plans for a 2-car garage and is willing to build it at cost. The home is located at 1405 NW Ithaca Ave. It is not a short sale or bank owned.

The floor plans include:       2 bedroom/2.5 bath with 2130 sq. ft. for $825,000      2 bedroom/2.5 bath with 2241 sq. ft. for $849,000      3 bedroom/3.5 bath with 2561 sq. ft. for $825,000      2 bedroom/2.5 bath with 2805 sq. ft. for $825,000 The interiors vary from condo to condo but most have CeasarStone countertops, Viking appliances, bamboo wood floors, Anegre/Wenge cabinetry, cut pile wool carpet in the bedrooms, in-floor heat in the master baths, air conditioning, fl...

Our year here in Bend started in a rather sluggish manner.  However from May 1st onward, our Market has picked up some much needed steam.  In that time we saw 859 residential properties go Pending or Sold in the Bend area alone.  579 of that number were completed sales.  Surprisingly, the entry level market began to see multiple offers on some of its best priced homes.  As an example, one of my clients, a couple who were first time home buyers, wrote an offer on a cute little 3 bedroom 2 bath home with approx 1150 square feet.  It was priced just under 100k and before everything was said and done, the listing agent had received a total of 15 offers on it and it sold for more than it was listed for.  It appears we may finally have hit the proverbial bottom of the real estate market when ...

No Nonsense Tips for Selling your Bend Oregon Home in 2009 - Price your Central Oregon Home to SELL in a Down Economy. Buyers are looking and Buyers are Buying so why hasn’t your home sold? You priced it too high and now it’s going to cost you. The stale listing, we’ve all seen it, the turn-key house that has been on the market a year. Great neighborhood, beautiful house, move in ready. Sellers are frustrated it hasn’t sold and buyers are cautious wondering what’s wrong with the house. Here’s what went wrong when a Central Oregon Home Owner Overpriced their home. THE PLAN: We’re in a down economy and buyers are low-balling offers. I’ll price my home high and negotiate down. POTENTIAL BUYER A: Thought the home was way over-priced and didn’t see the point of making an offer when there wer...
