About Central Oregon
Bend and Central Oregon appeal to potential real estate buyers, residents and visitors for many reasons. They range from scenery and climate to outdoor recreation opportunities to a vibrant economy. It is an article of faith that tourism brings visitors to the region that eventually become part-time or full-time residents. That’s one reason why Bend is acknowledged for its entrepreneurial activity and compares favorably with other areas in bank deposits and self-employed income.In this section, we provide an overview of Central Oregon and what makes it tick. Subjects include growth and population trends, jobs and economy, recreation, history, culture and transportation. Follow the links to see additional pages where indicated. Links to Internet sites that supply additional information also are provided.
There is a lot of content in this section. What started out as a straightforward rendering of facts and figures about Central Oregon and the Bend Real Estate Market soon became more encyclopedic as we ploughed through the voluminous amount of information available. Some came from the archives of The Garner Group’s newsletter; some came from combing through Internet sources. It is the opinion of The Garner Group’s marketing staff that the more you know about Central Oregon, the more you will appreciate its many attributes. Please revisit the site often and watch for updates and revisions.
Thanks,
Sandy Garner and The Garner Group
