lapine homes for sale: Homes Are Selling - What? No Way The Market Is Dead - Not in La Pine - 02/03/08 05:15 AM
Heard the market is slow, no one is buying and that we are all doomed?  I have good news and the proof to show you that 37 home sellers in La Pine Oregon are felling a lot different right now.  It is a buyer's market and buyers are certainly in the driver's seat, but they are buying.
January is over, although there may be a few listings still showing pending that have actually closed escrow a quick search of the Central Oregon Association of Realtors MLS shows that there are 37 homes that either have an offer on them or have closed escrow.

lapine homes for sale: Prices Will Go Up - The Question Is When? - 02/01/08 03:57 PM
Buyer's listen up - have you noticed all the negative print and media ads about how tough the real estate market is?  Don't you find it unusual that when the prices of Central Oregon Homes were skyrocketing, homes for sale were getting multiple offers and so on everyone thought real estate was booming?
They have you scared; they have you thinking this is the wrong time to buy.  What is so wrong with buying today versus buying a year or two ago?  A year ago interest rates were low but prices were high and inventory of homes to buy was lower than it … (2 comments)

lapine homes for sale: The Numbers Don't Lie - Homes Are Selling - Buying Now is a Great Idea! - 10/19/07 03:46 PM
Yesterday I wrote about the market for first time home buyers in La Pine and Three Rivers South, Oregon. I was a little surprised to have a few locals chime in and basically disagree with me about the current market.
The numbers do not lie - La Pine and Three Rivers South are showing signs of a down market - which I did not dispute, but what I did find is that neither are in a "declining" market.
A declining market is when the sales prices fall below previous sales. La Pine and Three Rivers South are showing a slow market but … (7 comments)

lapine homes for sale: First Time Home Buys in La Pine & Three Rivers South - 10/18/07 04:33 AM
There is a lot of talk about the Real Estate market, mortgage issues and so on, most of it negative. I wonder, why? Rates are low, the real estate market in La Pine and Three Rivers South has a lot of inventory to choose from and homes are selling. Maybe not in record numbers but they are selling.

It seems like it was just last week when I was out enjoying the Big Deschutes River, and Wickiup - this morning we had our first dusting of snow. Although it was gone by noon it was there and tonight the temperatures are dropping again. It must be time to start thinking about winter and getting our properties ready for the snow.
Below is a quick list of the things we do around our home to prepare for the cold temperatures and snow.

lapine homes for sale: Fishing is GREAT in Central Oregon - 08/09/07 06:47 PM
If you love the outdoors, Central Oregon is paradise! Tonight while taking our 7 month old Black Lab to Wickiup Reservoir to swim I stumbled accross a local man, Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown, had been fishing from his boat on Wickiup just before sunset.
The Catch of the day was amazing, one of those once in a lifetime stories that will be told around the holiday dinner table for years to come. We all know the saying about fishermen lying, but this is no fish tale, it is the truth.
18.5 pound Brown Trout - from Wickiup - a very nice catch for … (30 comments)

lapine homes for sale: Selling Property in La Pine Oregon, Be Prepared For The Long Haul - 08/01/07 05:47 AM
We all know that the market is saturated with listings and that the buyers are coming around but they are still taking their time in making decisions.
Today I was curious to see just what is happening in La Pine, Oregon with pendings and solds. The numbers are depressing to say the least. Do they mean your home or property will not sell, no, but they do show that you need to be priced right and ready to work with a buyer.
I am looking at frame and manufactured homes in La Pine, from June 1, 2007 to July 31, 2007. I did … (8 comments)
