I get the feeling that our market here in Bend has begun to rebound and show hope for a lively Spring. While interest rates are rising, there is still a shortage of housing inventory to keep up with demand, particularly in more desirable areas and price points. This can help support home prices even as interest rates increase.

It's also worth noting that while interest rates have risen in recent months, they are still historically low compared to previous decades. This means that while some buyers may be priced out of the market due to higher rates, there will still be many who can afford to buy homes and will continue shopping. In our market, a large portion of that demographic tends to be made up up out of area buyers, moving from more expensive metros and getting a great trade off.

The Buyers winning in this market are working closely with a savvy Lender and Realtor to interpret the local market conditions and understand what strategies will help put them in a leveraged position against their competition. If you're considering shopping, there's no need to go at it alone. Give me a ring!
