Living the NW Crossing Lifestyle in Bend
NorthWest Crossing (NWX) isn't just another neighborhood in Bend – it's a community by design. Developed on roughly 486 acres by the West Bend Property Company in the early 2000s, NWX pairs tree‑lined streets and welcoming front porches with a thoughtful mix of homes, parks, schools and local businesses.

December 2025 Bend, Oregon Real Estate Market Update
Who Hit the Pause Button?
Winter has arrived in Bend, and with it, the market slowdown we expect every year. The difference this December is subtle but important: the pace has eased, yet the underlying fundamentals remain surprisingly resilient. Whether you're gearing up to buy in early 2026 or preparing your home for a spring listing, here's what you need to know about the latest market trends.
New Listings: A Seasonal Retreat
New listings slid again this month — roughly 20% fewer year-over-year. Not surprising for December.

How long will they wait?
Typically just a few more weeks. January and February bring a substantial inventory rebound.
