Market Segments
Strong Seller's Market
Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price.
Median List Price
The market for this zip code continues its bounce again this week. We're a long way from the market's high point so watch the Market Action Index to predict how long this trend will last. 7-Day Average
Segments
Not surprisingly, given the condition of the overall market, all quartiles have shown price strength in recent weeks. All have been increasing in price lately. Watch for a persistent decline in the Market Action Index as a leading indicator for the top of the market.
Price Per Square Foot
The market appears to be placing an increasing premium on homes. When list prices and price per square foot consistently increase in tandem, as they're doing now, you can often find short-term investment opportunities. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator for these trends to flatten or drop.
Inventory has been falling in recent weeks. Note that declining inventory alone does not signal a strengthening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is changing with the available supply.
Market Action Index
The market continues to get hotter. More sales demand and fewer homes listed have contributed to a relatively long run of increasing prices. Current supply and demand levels show no sign of prices changing from their current trend.
Market Action Segments
Not surprisingly, all segments in this zip code are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the high-end) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a slowdown for the whole group.
Median Days on Market (DOM)
The properties have been on the market for an average of 135 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 90 or so days. Watch the 90-day DOM trend for signals of a changing market.
Segments
It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.

To estimate the initial RMV for your property, your county assessor appraises your property using a physical inspection and a comparison of market data from similar properties. For ensuing tax years, your county assessor may study trends of similar properties to update the RMV for your property.
Maximum Assessed Value (MAV)
Maximum Assessed Value (MAV) was established by Ballot Measure 50 for the 1997-98 tax year. MAV is the greater of 103% of the prior year's assessed value (AV), or 100 percent of the prior year's MAV, whichever is greater.
MAV’s for properties that existed prior to 1995 were set based on the 1995-1996 Real Market Value (RMV) less 10%. MAVs for “new” properties (constructed or created after 1995) are set by multiplying the property's Real Market Value (RMV) at the time of construction or creation by the Changed Property Ratio (CPR) for that year.
MAV is the only part of your tax bill where a 3% increase limit applies. However, your MAV can increase above 3 percent of the prior year's assessed value if certain things defined as exceptions are made to your property.
Assessed Value (AV)
Assessed Value (AV) is the lower of last year’s Maximum Assessed Value (MAV) plus 3%, or the current Real Market Value (RMV). This value provides the baseline for your tax bill calculation.

Crooked River Ranch Club and Maintenance Association
Crooked River Ranch was developed by Bill Macpherson in 1972 as a destination resort. In 1973 on November 15th the first meeting of the Crooked River Ranch Club & Maintenance Association (CRR) was established, and a year later the new clubhouse and pool with the first 9 holes of the golf course were built. In 1980 CRR was re-zoned from recreational to rural/residential. In 1992 final re-zoning took place, making CRR a residential subdivision. The properties are divided into 1, 2, and 5 acre lots. The Ranch itself is divided into 16 phases. There are also numerious commercial properties/businesses near Admin. building and on Commercial Loop. Crooked River Ranch Club & Maintenance Association is a nonprofit corporation consisting of 2,646 properties.
It is now the largest homeowner's association in Oregon, having grown to over 5000 in population. It is considered as becoming the largest subdivision of its kind. It employs over 25 people and utilizes many volunteers to keep our owners and guests satified during their stay on the Ranch.
As with all Home Owners Associations, dues are collected to assist in maintaining the common properties, which the association owns. Dues are collected bi-annually. With dues comes use of the pool, tennis, and discounts on golf (18 hole course), ball field, arena and other amenities.
The nine member association Board of Directors meets monthly, which all home owners are welcome to attend. There is also an annual meeting usually around Labor day.
Crooked River Ranch Club & Maintenance Association has developed its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Each phase has it s own Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions.

It has allowed us to hire amazing employees – the available talent here in Central Oregon has proven to be of the highest caliber and chocked full of integrity. Sometimes you feel like you can get lost in a big city. In Sisters we have been able to be part of a growing and nurturing business community.” - Wyatt Woods, President and Owner, Holy Kakow
Case Study: Holy Kakow
Founded in Portland in 2009, Holy Kakow creates premium organic chocolate sauces and syrups that are used in coffee shops across the nation and globe. After running the business for nearly a decade, Founder Wyatt Woods decided a move to the City of Sisters would be beneficial for his family.

After EDCO’s help with site selection, incentives, permitting, and more, Holy Kakow was able to move their operations into a new building in the Sisters Business Park. The relocation allowed them to scale for growth, even during the pandemic, expanding their employment from three to eight in the span of a couple months.

* EDIT TITLE
START
We mentor and advise scalable young companies from concept to exit on issues such as access to capital, critical expertise and business strategy.
“The support we’ve received from EDCO and other organizations has been tremendous and allowed us to grow and develop our network and further develop our business in a short time. Their proactive approach to assisting and encouraging entrepreneurship in this region has been paramount to some of the large strides we’ve taken this year.”
- Ryan Goodwin, Founder & Lead Designer Engineer, SherpTek
Case Study: SherpTek
SherpTek was among the first tenants to take occupancy in the redeveloped Woodgrain mill site, re-branded the “Prineville Campus,” where they design and manufacture modular truck bed systems and accessories to improve the functionality and adaptability of pickup trucks for day-to-day use and outdoor adventures.
SherpTek is an innovator in the automotive/outdoor industry. Their Founder and Lead Design Engineer, Ryan Goodwin, uses composite aerospace materials and construction methods to create a lightweight, yet super durable, precision-engineered product. SherpTek was one of Prineville’s first companies to pitch at EDCO’s Central Oregon PubTalk, an event that showcases local entrpreneurs. The company has been and continues to be supported by EDCO as well as many local and State partners in areas such as business financing, incentive utilization, internship coordination, staffing, network connections, scalability, and pitch coaching. Despite having just moved their start-up to Prineville earlier this year, SherpTek has ingrained itself into the entrepreneurial fabric of the region. They are already expanding their manufacturing facilities, hiring additional employees and training local high school students on their specialized processes.
A driving force for our economic performance is a collaborative and inclusive entrepreneurial community. This is supported via the number of new business registrations, which has outpaced far larger cities. In 2022, AdvisorSmith ranked Bend fifth for Top Midsize Cities where Americans Start the Most Businesses at 3.79 businesses started per 1,000 residents.
The region is large enough to provide resources and access to capital that help new entrepreneurs get started, while still being small enough that those resources are interconnected to support businesses as they grow. Unique to Central Oregon, given its size, are the numerous community resources and assets that are available. Assets managed by EDCO include monthly Central Oregon PubTalks, the Stable of Experts mentorship program and the largest Angel Conference in the PNW, the Bend Venture Conference.
