Bend Oregon Real Estate Tidbits: 
February Questions on Bend Oregon Real Estate





Join Jim Birtola and Valarie Rinker as they answer questions our viewers sent in!

1. I am looking for my first home. My price range is between 100K- 150K. Every time I go to put in an offer I get beat out by an investor. What can I do to help me get a home with so few homes in my price range?

2. I have had my piece of land on the market now for over a year and it still has not sold. What can I do to make it sell?!?!

3. Are resort homes or second homes a good idea right now, and what about renting them through VRBO.com or a vacation rental company?

January Questions on the Bend Oregon Real Estate Market

Starting the Year off right by answering your questions! 


Bend Oregon Real Estate Tidbits | January Questions on the Bend Oregon Real Estate Market




Join Jim and Valarie as they go over a few of the questions that you have asked us.
They start off with talking about the East and West sides of Bend and why you may be attracted to one side over the other. For instance the west side has the Old Mill District with the Deschutes river running through it. As where the east side has close access to St. Charles Hospital and larger lot sizes. If you want to see some of the options check out the Map search at BendOregonRealEstate.com

The second question they go over is about selling your home. If you are trying to decide when you want to put your house up on the market Jim Birtola goes into the pros and cons of listing in the Winter vs. the Summer.  You need to know what your selling goals are, this will help determine when you should list. Plus as a bonus you can go to http://www.zippyhomevalue.com/ and without ever having to talk to an agent you can find out your homes current approximate value.

The third and final question of the day is on taxes. If you are looking to move in from out of state you may have a few questions about how our tax system works. Although we are not tax pros we do understand how it works with your property. Always remember that when you have questions about property taxes your Real Estate agent can put you in touch with a tax accountant to help you make the best financial decisions.
