Real-Time Market Profile

LastMonth 42

Slight Seller's Advantage

The market has started cooling and prices have been flat for several weeks Since we’re in the Seller’s zone, watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

Market Segments

Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price.

Median List Price

Again this week we see prices in this zip code remain roughly at the level they’ve been for several weeks. Since we’re significantly below the top of the market, look for a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices move from these levels.

Segments

In the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 1 is on a bit of an up trend in recent weeks. We'll need to see a persistent shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices across the board move from these levels.

Price Per Square Foot

The market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both been reasonably stagnant. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator before the market moves from these levels.

Inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.

Market Action Index

The market has started cooling and prices have been flat for several weeks. Since we’re in the Seller’s zone, watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

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 78 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 37 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.

PTHO MAS As I was reusing old files for new permits I came across the file that was used for this permit. There was a note on the outside that said when plans are destroyed to contact the owner at 541-923-5622. I believe the plans were destroyed and weren't forwarded onto the owner. We had a volunteer helping with the archiving. Just wanted to make this reference in case somebody ever called for plans.

TRAIL USE REGULATIONS

The Deschutes River Trail portion of the Bend Urban Trails System allows nearly uninterrupted access to the beautiful waterway that is the heart of the community. The trail system is divided into fi ve “reaches,” defined by landscape characteristics.

The Bend Park and Recreation District is at work building a fully connected river trail between Tumalo State Park and Meadow Camp. Once complete, the trail system will encompass nineteen miles of trails. This map shows existing trails open to the public.

AWBREY REACH

Visitors can access the River Trail at its northernmost point at Kirkaldy Court off of Putnam Rd. This section of the trail, constructed on top of the buried Tumalo irrigation canal, consists of soft-surface and unimproved surfaces, and includes a few moderate hills. Along the middle stretch of this reach, the river drops into a deep canyon but the trail stays high on the canyon wall, offering spectacular views of the river below and the Three Sisters in the distance. A steep climb up the Archie Briggs Canyon Trail connects to Mt. Washington Dr.

RIVER

RUN REACH

This section, favored by many locals, is also built over the Tumalo canal and was the first section of river trail to open in 1989. The surface is both soft-surface and unimproved, and is wide and relatively flat. The trail runs between the river and a high canyon wall, and passes through the River’s Edge golf course and adjacent neighborhoods. There are several wetlands in this reach, inhabited by songbirds, trumpeter swans, otter and beaver. Osprey frequently nest and fish here.

PIONEER REACH

This reach passes through the oldest and most established sections of Bend. The trail isn’t always right on the river, but instead follows sidewalks through neighborhoods and downtown. It passes through beautiful Drake Park on Mirror Pond and ends in McKay Park. There are several footbridges along the way offering opportunities to cross the river.

OLD MILL REACH

Once the site of two large ponderosa pine lumber mills, today the Old Mill Reach is a mix of river parks, the Shops at the Old Mill, and areas yet to be developed. Three footbridges connect trail legs on either side of the river, providing convenient walking loops. On the east side, the trails are hard surface from the Old Mill District to the Bill Healy bridge. The trail on the west side offers a mix of hard and soft surfaces. Farewell Bend Park provides two developed boat landings for paddlers using the Deschutes River water trail. The east side trail passes through Farewell Bend Park, which also provides two developed boat landings for paddlers using the Deschutes River water trail.

SOUTH CANYON REACH

This reach has trail legs on both sides of the river, connected by a new footbridge approximately 1 1/2 miles upstream of the Farewell Bend Park bridge. The river flows fast here through a beautiful canyon, cascading over rocks and logs.

West side: This reach’s west-side leg is known as the Mt. Bachelor Village Trail. Here the soft surface trail is open to pedestrians, but cyclists are not allowed. An alternative cycling route connects from the Bill Healy Bridge to the Haul Road Trail along Century Drive.

East side: The east-side trail at the northern end of this reach is unimproved surface, narrow and rocky in places; the southern end is on the gravel ditch road which runs above the river and next to the COID siphon pipe. There are several connections to nearby neighborhoods along the way.

Welcome to Central Oregon

Where the commute times are short and breathtaking views await you at every turn. The region features dramatic snow-capped mountain ranges and high desert plateaus within Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties.

Located halfway between San Francisco and Seattle, one of the hottest small metropolitan markets in the U.S. is Central Oregon. In the last decade the region has seen some of the highest sustained GDP growth, job growth and population growth. With these factors in mind, The Milken Institute has named the region the best small metropolitan in the nation four years in a row – an unprecedented feat no other location has ever received.

Central Oregon is pulling extraordinary talent and capital, fostering a diverse and highly entrepreneurial business ecosystem. Deschutes County received the most investment in Oregon in 2022, according to Smartasset. Lured by natural scenic beauty and big city amenities without big city costs or hassle, people are learning that having a true work-life balance is possible. Employees are happier and companies are more innovative and capital-efficient. All in a region dominated by small to mid-sized firms that compete globally – and win.

Central Oregon has been among the fastest growing regions anywhere in the U.S.

In-migration has been the dominating factor in the region’s growth. With millions of visitors annually, Central Oregon continues to attract thousands of new residents from all over the country each year for it’s outdoor amenities, arts and culture opportunities, quality healthcare, and a growing education system.

“Central Oregon’s economic growth is stronger than the state and nation overall. The primary reason is the high quality of life that attracts new residents.

Business Cost Comparison

Oregon offers more incentive programs to traded-sector* businesses than Washington or California. Even without taking those incentives into consideration, Oregon is still a more cost-effective choice for doing business. Contact EDCO for a detailed look at the business costs in Central Oregon.

*companies that sell their products or services outside the area, bringing new jobs and capital investment to the area

“While our move to Central Oregon may have started for personal reasons, it has allowed us to do more with our business than we thought possible. 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. The next step was to figure out how to move the successful business. 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. Holy Kakow have their sights set on new product launches. With the backing of the community and the growing number of craft food businesses in Sisters, the company is surrounded by a strong business ecosystem to help them succeed.

We guide employers outside the region through the relocation process as a resource for regional data, incentives, talent, site selection, and A-Z problem solving.

RELOCATE & EXPAND

Get connected to our growing industry clusters that include: craft brewing/distilling, bioscience, outdoor products, technology, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.

We link you to tools to help your company including: connections to the local supply chain, talent acquisition, incentives, business finance, market intelligence, and more.

WHY CENTRAL OREGON?

Central Oregon offers a pro-business environment with several incentives and supportive business finance options to encourage economic growth. Oregon also allows corporate net operating losses to be carried forward for up to 15 years without a cap, which can meaningfully reduce your business’s tax liability.

We help you navigate the regional and local real estate market, infrastructure and permitting processes.

For businesses looking to relocate, Central Oregon has a reputation for welcoming new companies. The region offers a tightknit community without sacrificing talent, education opportunities, or quality healthcare. EDCO’s network can help your business streamline decisions when choosing a new home.

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.

GROW

“Our flagship manufacturing facility is located in Bend, nestled at the base of the Cascade Mountain Range, which also inspired the brand name. The views and outdoor amenities are unmatched, but the entrepreneurial and community support we have received from day one has been the driving factor in bringing our homegrown business sustainable success in Oregon and beyond. Our employees, customers and partners are what make Bend home and inspire continued growth.”

- Affton Coffelt, Founder and CEO, Broken Top Brands

Case Study: Broken Top Brands

Broken Top Brands creates handmade, sustainable, eco-conscious candles and body products that have been featured in National media outlets such as BuzzFeed, Oprah Daily and HuffPost.

Broken Top Brands was attracted to starting a business in Central Oregon for its quality of life and supportive community.

Although supply chain timelines and transportation costs have been challenges through the pandemic, Broken Top Brands has sustained steady growth and continues to partner with EDCO, 1% for the Planet, One Tree Planted, Opportunity Knocks, Bend Chamber, and Business Oregon to serve their loyal customer base.
