Bend’s West Side Homes Sales Lead the Pack

Popular as ever Bend’s lower west side is leading the way in first quarter sales home sales. What makes the lower west side so popular? Is it the proximity to Bend’s ever popular breweries? The Century Center or the Les Schwab Amphitheater and their events? The easy access to Downtown?, the trails?, floating the Deschutes River?, skiing at Mt. Bachelor?, playing in the Deschutes National Forest?, dang the list goes on and on.

People love the west side and the homes sales reflect this!!

Since the first of the year there have been thirty five homes sold. These homes cover everything from old mill homes to an outstanding home with views of Mirror Pond. Many of these new homes were new homes built by Pahlisch Homes in the Newport Landing neighborhood. These well appointed homes are priced from the mid $300,000’s and up.

Currently we have twenty one new homes listed for sale. These homes run the gamut for tastes and budget and are located thorough out the district. Homes that sit up high on Golden Butte to classic mill boss homes near Downtown to fixers on the flats.  

If you have questions about the Bend real estate market and need a source for information, please contact me, Bill Panton.  I am glad to assist you in making informed decisions about Bend and Central Oregon.

P.S. - Just so I do not confuse people, I define the lower west side to be from NW Portland Avenue over to SW Simpson Avenue to NW Wall Street to just east of Northwest Crossing/Skyliner Summit.

Northwest Crossing Springs to Life…

Northwest Crossing continues to set the pace in homes sales and lifestyle for Bend, Oregon.

Kicking off the return of spring is the Northwest Crossing Spring Festival hosted at the heart of their merchant district. Highlighting this event will be music by “Larry and His Flask”, if high energy music is not on your agenda perhaps the “Street Chalk Competition”, the Fine Artist Promenade or the Spring Morning Yoga Session will suit you.

Start the 2013 year; twenty homes have been sold in the first quarter, far exceeding sales in any other Bend neighborhood. Currently the average price for home in Northwest Crossing has leapt upward over the $400,000 mark. Occasionally we will see homes from the founding portions of Northwest Crossing will be offered for under $400,000 but the days of easily finding a home in the $300,000 range have left the market of today.

New home starts in Northwest Crossing continue to pace the Bend real estate market with many of these new homes selling shortly after they are offered. In many cases the home will be pre-sold. West Bend Properties is pressing forward and are developing a new section that is slated for release this fall/early winter. Stay tuned for more on these lots and homes which should offer some lots that are larger than the norm for Northwest Crossing. They should be similar to lots recently offered off of NW Lolo Pass Drive and Drouillard Avenue.

If you have questions about the Northwest Crossing community or the Bend real estate market and need a source for information, please contact me.  I am glad to assist you in making informed decisions about Bend.
