Awesome vid
Thanks!
Being so tourist friendly, you get way more than just a small town. I’d liken it to Sandpoint, ID.
You forgot to mention the homeless population is also growing and becoming a problem
Anywhere worth being... is having that problem, unfortunately 😕
@@KrommRealEstate I live on 27th near Safeway had a guy in a sleeping bag asleep on the sidewalk it used to be safe here but no more I live near the Phoenix
Smoke season. Hot as f Summers. Everyone has to one up you even on the most trivial stuff. Horrible street layout causes awful traffic. No access to a city. I have family i visit there which is an insane plane ride. They chose Bend, I chose Las Cruces. Crazy how they are both close in population but don't even compare. We have no traffic, the roads are great and it's so much more chill. And we have way better AQI.
Thanks for your thoughts, note to self... visit Las Cruces NM.
I’m from Bend. I personally cannot stand how Californians and people from Portland have ruined my town. Bend used to be a great community but now just feels like a bunch of rich snobby assholes I’m taking over
Where is the nearest Medical Facility? We are visiting in 3 weeks
If you are visiting Sisters, there is a small medical office there.. however, Bend is only 20 minutes away, and they have a full hospital with everything you need
Any owner financed offers available in Redmond or Bend!? We are flying in from Korea December 1st.
Those are few and far between, but they do exist. We have a great agent we work with who's an expert at owner financed. When you get here, reach out to us and we'll get you set up.
Bend is not Bend anymore, it's baby Portland. Extreme homelessness issues with no end in sight, they camp anywhere and everywhere they want. They trash neighborhoods and streets. And I'm not talking about the people who are homeless that are actively trying to better their lives. We're talking about drug addicts with major mental health problems who don't want help. And as a result of that, tons of shootings, random assaults and out of control fires have become the new norm. Bend has become too expensive and overcrowded for the majority of the locals to live in their hometown. It's has also become a political nightmare as those who are in charge are clearly blinded so issues are far from getting solved. Not to mention the high percentage of human trafficking that happens :( Bend has been ruined, look deeper for the truth.

So... are you saying you live here? Cuz I do, and I think it's great, and when was the last time you lived or even visited anywhere else? Cuz there are a lot of problems elsewhere too!
Where are you sitting in this video? Are you in a park in Sisters?
We were in a few different places, but yes.
Saw this pop up on Redfin, your walkthrough confirms what I first thought. If you threw $200K in remodel and landscaping at this place you would have a nice house worth about $800K!! Hard pass
Looking at new contruction on a half acre or so, not custom ground up, just a few tweaks to existing platform/template, Single story 1800-2000sqft. Nice fixtures, not luxury. Can this be done for 500-600k in Bend(anywhere) or even LaPine? Lot cost not included of course.
I'm going to visit Bend next week, and I have been watching your videos to collect recommendations for restaurants and leisure activities. The explanations in the videos are so genuine and natural, which compel me to continue watching multiple videos in a row. Comfortable pacing and tone of voice. Thank you for all the work that you do to highlight Bend!
What a douche bag!

Cheeba Hut > Valentines Imo
I dont think Cheeba Hut was open when we did this video.
Cheeba hut been here for over 2 years I believe. 🤷🏽♂️
No way will it be status quo going forward. Sellers don't get any value from buyers agents. Most buyers do their research online, decide on the house, and then just use the agent to facilitate the offer. Sellers contracts are being modified so that they only pay the sellers agent, which can be a fixed amount or a percentage based on services which might be up to 3% of sale price. If a buyer doesn't want to pay their agent, it's going to end up being spelled out in the purchase offer. OBVIOUSLY, if the seller is getting multiple offers, they are going to take the best price offered after expenses. When buyers are asking for the seller to pay things like buyer agent commission, closing costs, inspector found repairs, and a year or more of home warranty insurance, these costs reduce the sellers proceeds. Give the sellers some credit... they will take the most money for the least amount of work. As a seller - if they opt to pay the 3% buyer agent commission, they will raise their price 3% to compensate. So, in the end, the buyer is still paying the commission. Since people shop price, they are more likely to look at the home if it's 3% less (i.e., a $999,999 price sounds better than a $1,029,999 price), This won't look good from a competitive standpoint, so they will likely opt out of paying the buyer agent as part of the listed price.
That's one way of looking at it. Time will tell.
Looking forward to hearing this! We are always weighing it against all of our options in Asia. I think we may see You in bend in the upcoming months… Looking for an owner financed option.
Sounds good, we'll be here
You didnt mention access to great roller hockey. That's a relocation requirement for a lot of people I know.
Hey Lloyd 👋
If the buyer's agent is not paid by the seller, your property will not sell. Simple fact.
I had a great buyers agent. It was a friend of my parents. Please don’t let the builders agent represent you either.
As a buyer, I am warm to the idea of paying upfront so that the agent does not work for free if a transaction doesn't materialize. In practice, I've never aborted a house search, but the freedom of the buyer to end the representation having paid nothing has always seemed unhealthy, even as the benefiting party. I'm guessing the contracts you describe that, in most cases, still end up being fulfilled by splitting the seller's commission in a transaction, may include clauses about the buyer paying something if the representation ends prior to a transaction occurring. Am I wrong there?
One, I don't think we have seen the official NEW contracts yet. In the agreements we currently have and have used before, it's always predicated on closing a sale. Nobody ever gets paid unless you close the deal. There's also currently a get outta jail free card in there, too. So the relationship can just, end, without penalty, but I don't know if that's staying in the new version or not.
For a while, we were buying about one per year, but haven't bought since interest rates moved upward. In my experience, and for my preferences, agents are valuable. I would never want to deal with the transactions myself, but like you said, I'm happy for those who prefer doing the work themselves. It's similar to hiring professionals for home improvement projects versus DIY. I prefer to hire professionals because every time I DIY, I end up spending more money on tools and supplies than I expected, and am left underwhelmed by the results (yes, definitely a skill issue).
Bend Burger Meh
There was a woman a long time ago who took her two children and threw them off the Sisters bridge.
No clue what u are talking about, but thanks for the comment. 😉
@@KrommRealEstate It's part of the town's history.
@xScooterAZx nah, not in Sisters
@@KrommRealEstate Not,not right in Sisters,but on the bridge itself. I I was a round 10 yrs old (I'm 70 now) when it was told to my Dad and I was sitting next to him and heard it.This was from someone who had lived there most of his life. If you dont care to believe it fine. It wont change that it happened.
The income tax 😮 but a nice town
Douche
What a dream day and what a great video! If/when we purchase a house through you guys I want a lesson. I had to laugh about your comment on KZread and your boat. KZread is how I learn to fix my major appliances. 😂
I use youtube all the time for DIY repairs.
Someone please bring a full grocery store to this area. With all of the California transplants, a Bristol Farms or Gelson's would be an instant success.
Brooks resources has been trying for two decades. Oddly enough, the demographics haven't worked for the stores that have shown interest. That's why we have the Grove instead of a Bristol Farms.
Love your videos for us being new to town. Super great. 😂 Thank you! Would you decode "stones" fishing for me?
Stoneflies, it's a kind of bug that the fish eat.
My biggest complaint is Californians! FJB
My biggest complaint is Californians who move here. FJB
😃
Lived there in the mid 70's and graduated from Bend senior High school. Now the town is too expensive and the liberals from California and other places have ruined the state.
Thanks for the video! I’ve been curious about what the Old Farm District was and just who was the Old Farmer. Your on-camera demeanor is fantastic! Say, “Hi,” to Kristin for us.
Calling all folks from the failed state.. Great information as always!
haha! negative mortgage applications. 😆
Trivia note: Bend Burger Company used to be in the location that The Lemon Tree is in today.
True story. Do you know what was there before that?
@@KrommRealEstate No. We got here at the end of 2011 an BBC was already there I think.
There was a sushi place there like 25 years ago... I took Shannon there on our first date!
Super interesting!
I have this opportunity to relocate to Bend this year and the cost of homes is what’s stopping me
What kind of opportunity?
Very informative John . We are 3 to 4 years out from moving into the area but watching the market closely. Really enjoy your videos and always look forward to your next post.
Thank you, Scott, we will be here when you are ready! 😃
Great analysis, John. Thanks for sharing the data and your thoughts on the same. I appreciate that no one knows precisely how the market is going, but hearing your educated guesses is valuable.
Preciate yah, as always!
Want more views? Made by a realtor for realtors here in Oregon!
Good video. As with All Things Oregon, it comes down to how batsh*t crazy the government is
I can’t believe how much it costs to live in cesspool Redmond now.
What makes it a cesspool? Genuinely asking
Home Depot and Lowe’s.
My earliest memories of Bend is John Wayne at the Pine Tavern. '74? Took a Sunday break from a movie set. Logs in the river @ the Mill. No parkway...just N & S thru 3rd St.
Wow! That's pretty cool.
@@KrommRealEstate Duke loved his tequila and poker on a Sunday!
Another video exploiting every good thing we have so many Fisheries I know have been ruined because hover use unlike you I won't mention some in hopes that they will stay unknown to this type of behavior a lot of them I used to go to never had trails now it's beat down to beat the bandwagon in people everywhere why don't you just put a button on it dude
There's nothing in here that you wouldn't learn in any local flyshop or any book off the shelf.
This is a great idea for real estate videos, especially for those of us, watching from far away. Seeing the various neighborhoods on video is very helpful. It'd be great if you made more of these, above and below the median price range. I loved the bloopers at the end! Say, "Hi," to Kristin for me, and keep it cool you 42-year-olds!
Ha! Did you have to just out us like that!? We were talking in code. 😆 🤣
@@KrommRealEstate Don't feel bad. 1968 was a good year too!
