  • Bend Real Estate Market Update and Scenic Photos of Central Oregon,James Kinney

    Bend Real Estate Market Update and Scenic Photos of Central Oregon

    I Hope you are having a great week. Enjoy these photos I captured from Central Oregon and check out the latest real estate market update for Bend and Central Oregon.    Central Oregon remains highly desirable both to full time residents as well as vacationers and second home buyers and prices have now recovered to almost the peak of a year ago.  Market trends in most segments including single family residential, show the average sold price in Bend has moved higher overall since March, mainly due to lower inventory levels. When looking at the YOY median sales price in Bend, prices have now recovered to almost historical highs in June 2022. This is a recovery from what now looks like the bottom of price declines in January of this year when Bend home prices were down almost 11% from the previous year. (Hint: If you have been waiting to sell now could be a great time.) Benefit now to sellers: Low inventory currently is keeping prices high despite the buyer financed segment of the market that shrunk the pool of buyers. Cash buyers are still purchasing homes and taking advantage.  Benefit to buyers: Less competition, less bidding wars, and good opportunities exist with those sellers that are motivated to sell and not just testing the market at higher price range for their property.   Overall: The market is still tipped slightly to sellers with opportunities for buyers who are patient, know what they are looking for at the right price.

  • Cascade Lakes Highway Adventure,James Kinney

    Cascade Lakes Highway Adventure

    Central Oregon has so much to offer for outdoor adventures in both summer and winter. The Cascade Lakes Scenic Highway has a multitude of options for quick getaways from Bend. There is a reason legendary Oregon photographer Ray Atkeson found this place to be one of his favorites. The scenic beauty is incredible.  For me this place holds something special. The mountains, the lakes, the streams, the peace and quiet. Here are a few images I snapped of this beautiful place. I hope you enjoy!
