Condos and Townhouses for Sale in Bend Oregon

Filed under: Bend Oregon Real Estate — Tags: , — Jim Johnson @ 8:19 pm

 

There are currently 259 townhouses and condominiums for sale in Bend Oregon.  The main difference between a townhouse and a condominium is that with a townhouse you own the land under the building.  The condo is only “air space”  everything within the walls.  The home owners association owns the land under the home.  Both types of ownership usually provides a home owners association and dues for maintenance and up keep.

The least expensive condo/townhouse is a one bedroom, one bath condo at The Inn of the Seventh Mountain.  It’s listed for $79,900.  The Inn at the 7th Mountain has had financial problems in the past so a buyer should beware and take due diligence to check out all home owner’s dues and stability of the association.

The most expensive condo/townhouse in Bend is listed at $1,500,000 in down town Bend on Bond Street. This condominium has exquisite city and mountain views, floor-to-ceiling windows, finely crafted interiors, generous outdoor living space, private elevator to unit, and a green, rooftop garden.

This third floor condo has a 1,338 square foot paver patio with a built in BBQ. Other features include Viking appliances, bamboo floors, CaesarStone counter tops, Anegre/Wenge cabinetry, cut pile wool carpet in the bedrooms, in-floor heat in the baths, wet bar, and wiring for stereo and security.  It has 2 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and 2,561 square feet.

There are some great buys available in condominiums and townhouses in today’s market in Bend.  Now is a good time to buy.  The above pictures are provided by The Associates Realty Group and the Central Oregon Multiple Listing Service through their reciprocity agreement.

Bend Oregon Real Estate Sales

Filed under: Bend Oregon Real Estate — Tags: , — Jim Johnson @ 5:07 am

jacksbd2008-063-small.jpg 

The Bend Oregon real estate market is showing signs of life.  We just sold a home in NE Bend that had been listed with us for less than 3 weeks.  It had been listed for the last two years with two different Bend Oregon real estate agents that were members of the Bend and Central Oregon MLS.  The buyers are from California.

I wrote an offer on a listing of mine in SW Bend that has been on the market for 40 days.  It was previously listed with another real estate agent from Bend for over six months.  These buyers are from Oregon.  Now there’s another Bend agent wanting to write an offer on the same property.  We are starting to see multiple offers on well priced properties.  My son and partner Matt Johnson just sold a bank repo and there were 3 simultaneous offers on that NE Bend listing.

The Central Oregon real estate market and the Bend Oregon real estate market seem to be slowly picking up.  A listing of mine in NW Bend was shown by another Bend agent this weekend two separate times to the same buyer.  Kevin Pangle a Bend Oregon mortgage broker told me August is typically a slow month for new applications and that after the Oregon schools start the applications pick up.  We’ll see!

No one really knows which way the market is heading.  Southern California prices are down but their homes are starting to sell.  Those sellers are now buyers and it seems they are headed to Bend Oregon to buy real estate.  Prices are down and there is a great selection of Bend homes to choose from.  Now is a good time go buy Bend Oregon real estate.
