    March 2024 Bend Oregon Real Estate Newsletter

          Happy March! As we swing into spring in Central Oregon, this newsletter is packed with news and data on Bend and Central Oregon real estate. New commercial developments are all over Bend and I am sure you have seen the construction cranes towering over these. The February market reports are in and a recap of real estate for 2023 is also here for you to review. And, of course skiing and snowboarding are still going strong with some epic conditions in February and early March.  With home prices maintaining close to market highs this spring could be a great time to think about selling to a market that is still tilted to the seller.  I would love to help you or someone you know sell your home and realize your real estate goals. I am passionate about helping my clients assess their home and negotiate the highest price when selling. Reach out for a FREE HOME EVALUATION to see what your home or property might be worth.  Enjoy the newsletter and this quote by Craig Groeschel, "Successful People Do Consistently What Normal People Do Occasionally".  Free Home Valuation   PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT Photo Curtsey of Bend Bulletin Embarking on an exciting journey of growth, Bend sees the emergence of two magnificent five-story apartment buildings known as the Platform.
