About short sales
Several homes on the real estate market today, in Bend and elsewhere, require a short sale to complete the transaction. This is when a realistic selling price is less than the amount owed. Lenders often comply, but the devil is in the details and the approval process can be swift or lengthy. Alison Garner-Mata, broker, can use her short sale experience to help real estate buyers and sellers navigate the process. Call Alison at 541 280-6250 or send her an e-mail message.Population Growth Continues to Drive Home Ownership in Bend
Population growth is the engine that drives Central Oregon’s economy, particularly the Bend Oregon Real Estate market. Growth also provides the base for the many services and amenities the Bend area has to offer, and has transformed Bend from a sleepy sawmill town to a vibrant hub of tourism, commerce and high-tech industrial development. Deschutes County population grew four times as fast as the state of Oregon between 2000 and 2008. Bend now has 81,640 people, Redmond 25,445 and Prineville 10,730. Bend should reach 100,000 by 2020.
