RE/MAX Key Properties and Blue Creek NorthWest are proud to announce the construction of Compass Gardens, a Green Cottage Community within Bend's NorthWest Crossing Neighborhood.
Compass Gardens will consist of ten, detached, single family homes in a unique location within the planned community of NorthWest Crossing. The site for this project is on the North and South Sides of NW Crossing Drive, half a block West of the 5 acre, Compass Park, the centerpiece park in the heart of NorthWest Crossing. These new homes are also just two blocks to the East of the shops and restaurants of the NorthWest Crossing Neighborhood Center. Walk out your front door for dinner, coffee or an afternoon at the park.
 Previously slated for town homes, now each single family residential lot averages just over 4300 sq ft. On February 4, 2011 the plat for this consolidation was approved, allowing construction and sale of these homes to commence. This cottage community within NorthWest Crossing will be built by Blue Creek Northwest.
Each Craftsman styled home in Compass Gardens will have unifying elements such as a brick and wrought iron decorative fence between the sidewalk and paver brick "door yards" that front the homes. There are four floor plans designed for Compass Gardens. These homes range from 1250 sq ft to 1550 sq ft. The smaller floor plans are single level two bedroom homes. The two larger plans are two story, three bedroom homes. These NorthWest Crossing homes are designed with efficient floor plans, that feature large closets and storage areas. Some will feature a courtyard concept that allows natural light to flood the interior of these cozy homes. Three of these plans have a main level bedroom that can be modified to allow a home office that can have a direct entry from the street. All homes feature Earth Advantage and Energy Star certification, providing energy efficiency, cleaner indoor air, recycled building waste and sustainable materials.

Things to do in Bend Oregon: 2010 Veterans Day Parade in Downtown Bend.
Bundle up the family and head downtown for Bend's annual Veterans Day Parade. 
When: Thursday, November 11, 2010
Where: Downtown Bend, Oregon
Time: 11:00 am
Veterans Day began in 1919 following the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first Veterans Day or Armistice Day on November, 11, 1919, as a day for America to "reflect on the heroism of those who died for or country's service". In 1954, Armistice Day was expanded from a remembrance of World War I Veterans to a day for which to recognize and celebrate ALL Veterans who have bravely served our country.
Hope to see you downtown this Thursday to showing your support and thanks for our local Veterans.

Home Prices in Bend are Up in August - Here's hoping it's a trend!
The Bend Bulletin posted the following article this morning, "Home prices in Bend, Redmond rebound:
The median sales price of a single-family home in Bend bounced back up last month to $190,000 after diving to $175,000 in August, according to a report Tuesday from Bratton Appraisal Group of Bend.
While September's median was 8.6 percent higher than August, it was still 4.5 percent below September 2009, when the price was $199,000.
Redmond's median sales price also rebounded in September, rising 19.6 percent from August to $122,000. But that was down 21.3 percent from the September 2009 median of $155,000.
Bend's peak sales price was $396,000 in May 2007. Redmond's was $289,000 in November 2006.
Bratton's numbers do not include condominiums, townhomes, manufactured homes and acreage.
In Bend, the median sales price per square foot — considered in the industry to be a better measure of value — was $108 in September, up from $99 in August, but down from $113 in September 2009. In Redmond, the median sales price per square foot rose to $76 from $70 in August, but was down from $86 a year ago.
I personally have seen an increase in activity from both buyers and sellers. In addition to these numbers, there are currently 95 bank owned homes listed for sale in Bend. With the nationwide halt to foreclosures by several national lenders we may see a decrease in bank owned homes hitting the market in Bend. Not all lenders are halting foreclosures so the constant stream of bank owned homes hitting the market in Bend may be here to stay. Since Sunday 10 foreclosures have come on the market. Either way, it's a good time to buy a home in Bend!
