Central Oregon Market Report - August 17, 2022


Pick of the week 20315 Fairway Drive - Bend Peaceful & quiet single level home is located in a desirable and established SW Bend neighborhood. The kitchen is equipped with beautiful granite countertops, SS appliances, a new stove on it's way, a wine fridge, & a large pantry with pull-outs. Lots of natural lighting and a large vaulted great room. Easy access to the backyard. Spacious primary bedroom with two walk-in closets and a bathroom with a soaking tub. Large, professionally designed front and backyards offer a piece of tranquility. Two storage sheds have the room you need for toys along with RV parking. All brand new windows installed in 2020. This home is turn key ready and looking for new owners who love to be home and enjoy their surroundings.


 

I've noticed a few more buyers jumping back into the market this past week. With mortgage rates staying stagnant and some Sellers being open to negotiation, right now proves to be a pretty good time to consider getting a foothold in Bend as a break in buyer. Seller credits are commonly negotiated right now for buyers to use towards closing costs or buy down their rate for a cheaper monthly payment. There is also so much inventory, compared to what we've seen the last few years. On the flip side, Sellers need to be strategic about their pricing and make sure that they stay competitive in this market, if they don't want to sit and lose money over time. Overall, the market feels much more healthy and things keep humming along! - Greg
