Bend Home Prices Up as are Inventory Levels

Bend home prices are up year over year but so are inventory levels. The rate of the increase in Bend home prices has dropped, but we are still not experiencing overall reduced home prices. While buyers have more options, mortgage interest rates (just short of 7% as of July 3, 2024) remain high which has limited the buying power for many.

Mt Bachelor Village is One of Bend's Oldest Resort Communities

Envisioned in the early 1970's by Brooks Resources as a resort community to house vacationers wishing to ski at nearby Bachelor Butte (now known as Mt. Bachelor), the successful condominium development of Mt Bachelor Village has grown beyond the 1/5th fractional ownership initially offered to now provide for fully owned units, townhomes and single-family homes with a variety of amenities and views. Its location, within Bend's city limits but just off the road to Mt. Bachelor and the high Cascade Lakes, Mt Bachelor Village has offered full time homes, investment opportunities, and vacation homes to owners and renters alike for well over forty years. It continues to be a venue for retreats, weddings, gatherings and conferences.
