Lynne Connelley Bend Real Estate

Occasionally -- maybe a couple of times a month at most -- I see a fabulous buy on a home on our Tuesday morning MLS tour of Bend real estate or our Wednesday morning office tour of homes and farms & ranches for Coldwell Banker Morris.  This past week I saw THREE incredible deals, the kind of property you walk in and wonder, "WHO DO ...

Some good deals for sale in Bend?  Yep!  But there are a lot of NOT good deals as well.  Tuesday's MLS tour included a small home that backs to a busy road, a new home overpriced by at least $50,000 and a home backing a busy road that is at least $200,000 overpriced!  One would think in the current market that sellers would ...

It will indeed be music to our collective ears as brokers, as sellers and as buyers when the era of short sales comes to an end.  It has not reached that point yet, at least as I see Bend Oregon homes for sale this month, but there are good signs.  Looking at the MLS listings which were on tour yesterday, April 20, of the ...

You have probably heard about foreclosure auctions and heard they take place on the courthouse steps.  Is that really true?  Well, it really is! The world of forecosure auctions is complex and requires research and the knowledge base to know what to research.  You will also need to know where to find those answers.  ...

And on with our weekly briefing on deals and non-deals from the MLS Tuesday tour of Bend OR homes for sale.  As you know, there are MLS listings in Bend that are excellent values, and I look for those on the weekly tour.  This week there were two small acreages that are considered farms or ranches in Central Oregon. First, the ...

If you have always wanted your own gentleman (gentlewoman?) ranch, now is the time to grab your piece of the West, your own farm or ranch in Central Oregon.  Deals abound.  Bend, Oregon real estate continues to produce amazing deals, so pull on your boots, dust off that cowboy hat and reach for your computer.  Then give me a call to ...

The homes we toured this week for the MLS tour were less than spectacular in value, although one very cute and totally remodeled home off Galveston in the heart of the chic downtown business section of town would be a joy to live in if the price were reduced by at least $50,000.  Let me know if you want to see it or have me send you a copy of ...

Today I showed a lovely home which seemed like a good buy at $200,000 -- 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a quarter acre lot, fairly new, great floor plan.  Problem?  One small one -- it backs to a very, very busy street, and in the back yard you could not only hear but see the traffic.  You had to yell to hear over the traffic.  So even ...
