What happens to Bend homes for sale in Winter?
A client recently asked me what happens in the Bend, OR real estate market in the winter. As I described some of the historical trends to her, I thought this might be helpful for other people in the market for Bend Homes for Sale.
Below is an excerpt from the email:
Bank Owned Commercial Real Estate in the Old Mill District
Bend Oregon’s Mercato Development Site
The crown jewel of development land in Bend, Oregon. Formerly the location of the Mercato planned development, this 4.31 acre commercial property lies directly between Downtown and the Old Mill district, and very near the banks of the Deschutes River. If you are looking for high profile commercial real estate land, it doesn’t get any better than this. Property is zoned multi-use riverfront and is located in the heart of Bend. Buy and hold or develop a hotel, shopping center, market, or? Own the opportunity to add value to a highly enjoyable and popular destination.
Once the location of an historical wood mill along the banks of the Deschutes River, this commercial land was prepared and ready for development. The sharp and catastrophic real estate downturn in 2009 and 2010 left this site undeveloped. As the area begins to recover, development of this property will leave a lasting impression on the area.

Blacksmith, Joe Elliot
I know this doesn’t have a lot to do with real estate…well, maybe it does….but last night I was fortunate enough to be invited to an airing party for an episode of Oregon Art Beat produced by Oregon Public Broadcast. The feature story was on Bend, Oregon’s own Joe Elliot, a master blacksmith with a forge in downtown Bend. In fact, that was the location of the party. Surrounded by iron, steel, fire, tools, food, and some of the most interesting people that Central Oregon has to offer.
Now, here’s where it has to do with real estate. The pieces of art, both functional and beautiful, that Joe produces adorn some of the finest custom homes around. If you are looking to build from scratch or remodel in the Bend Oregon area, you owe it to yourself to give this guy a call ans see what he can offer. It provides any home with a dose of authenticity that anchors it in Central Oregon. We’re a very fortunate community to have talent like Joe’s among us.
For those of you that didn’t get to see the original airing, here is the segment for your enjoyment. Also, the home filmed in this episode is for sale in Broken Top. If you are interested,contact us and we’ll let you know who it is.
Thanks, Joe!
