Discovery West Is A New Westside Bend Oregon Subdivision Discovery West is the latest subdivision in the NorthWest Crossing area of Bend's Westside. Developed west of Summit High School and with 40 acres of parks with miles of trails, the project offers a variety of housing options, ranging from apartments, town homes, cottages and single-family homes.

Tonight my husband and I spent several hours at Sportsman's Warehouse in Bend. My husband loves to go duck hunting every fall. A couple years ago I bought him a new shotgun for his birthday and last year we picked another one out and we purchased it. Over the last couple years the regulations have been changed so that when you hunt water fowl you must use steel shot instead of lead. As REALTORS® we know the danger of children and lead based paint, so imagine what it would do sitting in the river.Back to what this has to do with real estate, CUSTOMER SERVICE. We went to Sportsman's Warehouse with the intention of purchasing another shotgun. The gun my husband is using has too tight a pattern and it is ruining too much meat. I know those of you that do not enjoy hunting and are against it...

When clients become friends celebrating is great fun. It was just over 3 years ago when I had the opportunity to represent my very buyer as a broker in Oregon. Diane Phillips was my first victim ah, I mean buyer.Diane had never been to Central Oregon, she pulled out a map pointed to a spot and said, that's where I am going. Her finger led her to La Pine, Oregon. I remember the day we met like it was yesterday. I picked up Diane and her grown son at a local motel and off we went to see the homes available that met her needs and budget.She found her home fairly quickly and the necessary paperwork was drafted and she soon became an Oregonian. When Diane arrived in La Pine to take possession of her home she knew no-one. She had no help to unload her trailer and so she called me to help her ...

It's summer time in Central Oregon and home sales have started to rise.  222 homes in Bend have sold since June 1st, and another 528 homes have sales pending.  We're a little bit behind in sales for this time period last year, which had 375 homes sell.  But things are looking better every day.  It's still a buyer's market out there, with over 2,000 residential listings on the market in the Bend area alone.  1603 of these homes are Single Family homes (no condos, townhomes, manfactured homes, or acreage).  Many buyers are finding great deals in today's Bend Real Estate market because of the supply of inventory.  So far this week 89 new residential listings have hit the market in Bend.  Out of those 89 listings 1 has already sold.  Sellers wanting to sell their homes this summer need to p...

If you are looking for the perfect place to cast a fly Hosmer Lake may be the end of your search. Hosmer Lake is 160 acres of water that is surrounded by peaceful beauty. Depth is only 8 to 10 feet in most places, but the water is cold even in the middle of summer, it is not unusual to find snow on the banks even in June or early July.Hosmer produces some of the most fun fly fishing in Central Oregon. There is a strict catch and release law for any Atlantic Salmon - but you are allowed 5 Brook Trout per day if they are over 8" in length. Although Hosmer is known for fly fishing I find that it is the perfect place to head out in a kayak. The beauty of this lake is beyond what most people will ever experience. You have spectacular views of many of the peaks of the Cascade Mountains. You w...

Bend Oregon Real EstateWhat does Albuquerque, NM and Bend, Oregon have in common? Well, at first I would have answered nothing. But after researching Bend online I found out how wrong I was. Bend Oregon is located in the High Desert of Central Oregon surrounded by mountains. Wow, that sounds a lot like Albuquerque! Unlike Albuquerque, Bend is home to many local lakes. All this beautiful topography makes this an excellent location for all you outdoor enthusiasts. Bend Oregon also hosts a "Balloons over Bend" with a night glow. I could still be talking about Albuquerque. If indoor activities are more your style, Bend is also home to great shopping and restaurants.  Ready to move to Bend Oregon? Then a great resource is Kelli Fronabarger with Bend River Realty. Her Bend Oregon real estate...

I am honored to be one of the judges for the What Makes a House a Home Contest by Colleen Kulikowski and I have to say, the competition so far is great. The posts are excellent and the decision will not be an easy one. My post is not about Bend or a childhood memory of grandma's house but it is about something I think most people will agree is equally important. What really makes a house a home? I'm going to put my own little spin on this and ask you, could a tent be a home? How about a cardboard box? Maybe a boxcar or the back of a car? I guarantee that all of these are someone's home tonight.When we think of a home, we often think of the typical...three bedroom ranch style on a few acres, nice condo in the city, two-story farm house in Iowa, top floor suite in New York City...but what...

I was saddened to learn of the loss of Vince Genna this week. He certainly contributed greatly to this community of Bend and he will be fondly remembered here, for many reasons.Though I live here now, I didn't always. Many years ago, I lived outside of Eugene. It was there that I met Vince's grand-daughter Beth. We went to school together and became the best of friends. More often than not, I was a regular at the Genna home and I was fortunate enough to attend many vacations and get togethers with their family. I remember meeting Vince on more than one occasion, though I was just a young girl at the time. I remember his smile and the love he had for his grandchildren. Seems like just yesterday but sadly it's been about 25 years ago now. No amount of time will erase the cherished memorie...
