Thinking About Selling This Fall? Five Reasons to Act NOW!

By Catherine

If you are considering selling your home you may be wondering why now would be the best time to list. Well here are some reasons why selling your home this fall makes the best sense!

Demand The latest information we have received from the National Association of Realtors tells us that the demand for housing is staying strong and the buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase…and the buyers are out hunting NOW! We are seeing more situations were buyers are looking at the same homes and competing with each other. Why not take advantage of this activity in our market?

Quicker Process With the amount of buyer competition, most will go out of their way to stand out in this market, including getting pre-approved which can make the process so much quicker as buyers already know exactly how much they will be approved for before they start shopping for a home. 

Less Competition With just over 3 months of residential inventory in Deschutes County your home will get noticed! There are simply not enough homes for sale for the buyers in our area! This is great news for homeowners thinking about selling. Don’t wait until everyone hears this news before you make your choice to list.

Looking To Upgrade? With home prices still high you may be able to sell your home and upgrade. There is more inventory in the higher price ranges and they tend to stay on the market longer, giving you time to sell your current home and get ready for the upgrade of your dreams.

Why Are You Wanting To Sell? Take a hard look at the reasons you may be considering selling your home. Is it worth waiting? You are the only person that can answer this question. If it’s time to sell, you can take control of your situation and call us today for a free Comparative Market Analysis. Strategic Realty, LLC has the knowledge, experience and determination to get you the best price on your home in our current market. Call us today for more information 541-595-8444.

Relocating to Bend?

By Catherine

0015

I relocated to Bend almost 6 years ago.  Leaving my life in California behind for a new adventure.  At times there are things that I miss about California, specifically, an In & Out Burger.  But I know in my heart that I have no desire to move away from Bend.  Bend has so much variety ranging from outdoor activities, culture events, festivals, and excellent food.  Since moving here I have enjoyed hiking to waterfalls, running the river trail, enjoying art walk and participating in many more activities that only Bend has to offer.  If you are interested in relocating to this area then check out:

Fall In Central Oregon

By Catherine

It seems that most people love Bend during the summer time.  The area comes alive with the hustle and bustle of tourists, concerts, events and a myriad of outdoor activities.  Even though I do love the gorgeous weather and lengthened days that summer brings I must say that I am far more partial to the fall months in Bend.

The pace becomes leisurely as the weather begins to cool; crowds taper off and children return to school.  The rush of activities and concerts lessen and a more peaceful sense falls over Bend.

I love this laid-back lifestyle.  The culmination of the crisp morning air, the smell of wood stoves heating up for the first time and the taste of a pumpkin slice latte on my lips.  It’s a time to enjoy the brisk fall days in anticipation for the first snow.  The snow flurries seem eminent before the autumn season comes to a close.  Ideas of languidly sitting by a warm fireplace, with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate in hand.  As the seasons change the city seems to change as well.  Transforming into a respite for locals, a place of warmth, friendship and families.

As the summer season ends I look forward to fall with great anticipation, knowing that these unhurried months spent in such a beautiful place lay ahead of me.
