Good deals Yet?

Just thought I'd blog about a few awesome listings in Bend, Oregon. Yeah, yeah, I know I'll get all kinds of comments about "over-pricing"---but I'm telling you, the market has heated up and the good stuff is GOING GOING GONE. And what's left? You gotta pick through it if you know what you are looking for. And if we do see another huge onslaught of Bank Owned, then I guess we can wade through that too!

A few of my favorite picks:

One-Level on Boyd Acres: $119,900 BANK OWNED, and CLEAN

BIG Square footage on Kepler (near 3000 sqft) SW Bend: $229,500

One-Level, quiet neighborhood, well-built: Sawtooth Mtn. Ln: $237,500

Great Location, close to town, WESTSIDE, near 3000sqft. on Outlook Vista: $279,900

Outstanding Custom with city views forever off Awbrey Butte: $399,900

Any of these homes have value-attributes that make them outstanding and really good buys.

Foreclosures are increasing, unemployment is on the rise and winter on the way. Prices are still headed South, so how can you say anything is a good buy right now?
