Ya I used to live there. Moved out when all the California people moved in. Was nice. Now not even good to visit.

Discovery West is looking nice! Do you have any insight into what retail will be there in the bricks-and-mortar (not the pop-ups for the ceremony)?

Nope

There's never been a lack of property for sale. There has, however, been a lack of AFFORDABLE properties with demands average people can actually meet. Almost no one is willing to negotiate unless you have 6 figures to bid that WILL NOT contribute to paying for the mortgage. Speaking from experience, sellers want ridiculous prices AND only sell to certian types of buyers. I am a veteran and I have access to multiple subsidies for small businesses and agriculture, which means I will never default on a payment. I also have good credit and a reasonable $20,000 down payment, and my entire VA pension can easily be dedicated to the mortgage as I have a job. As it turns out that level of security isn't good enough and I've had 3 different sellers refuse to sell to me claiming my down payment isn’t big enough, or they want a single cash payment. They also RARELY include water and mineral rights. The market is only about the wealthy. No one else has a right to buy property.

Reminds me why NEVER to take any advice from somebody who is trying to sell you something

Rates have gone up since the rate cut. Directly correlating the federal fund rate to interest rates but not talking about the 10 year treasury is such a rookie move that why would anyone take advice for you on predicting where mortgage rates are going?

😂😂😂😂 idiots get in now

Gotta kick yourself next fall through my house now

Do another vlog on food truck pods in Redmond and Sisters:)!

Tourists traffic is awful. Smoke in summer and fall has been bad.

Looks beautiful. Will add it to my list

Hold up, I gotta stop you right off the start. Fall is the best season in Bend.

Cool video, John! Thanks!

Great information, well done !!

all of Bend is getting ugly with all the conventional designed buildings- residential and commercial. the city is also letting these conventional builders cut down all the trees, so now the buildings will cook and need large, energy gussiling, air conditioners- and we now have to look at these monsterous parking lots and conventional buildings whenever we drive by !! the city "building" staff need to be replaced or at least educated on what eco friendly design is. such as running the lot sizes east and west so the long side of the building and roof face SOUTH so it can see the winter sun (thats where the glass windows should face) and a place for PV panels.

That's so cool!

Why don’t they let you fish from the boat on the Deschutes Rive? What is their reasoning, if there is any?

You are such a liar! How long have you actually lived here? Global climate change has pointed its nasty finger here. You paint such a pretty picture so you can sell more houses. How many days has the AQI been over 100 this summer? How many days did it snow so much that the road crews couldn't get the roads plowed this winter from all the massive aggressive new neighborhoods?

0:37 I really like how in your intro you have several shots of you mansplaining things while your wife just looks at you in agreement. JK !!! you guys are great!

What a fun, engaging video. You guys make a great team and really brightened my day...thank you!

This is a great video. Love the production and you are great on camera!

Hi John, always love your videos. Have to ask if the wrist brace is from the MTB ride. lol Hope you are doing well, Troy

So you get more people moving to your area or others and the volcanoes erupt, then what? All that ash on the fields. The animals get sick and die from eating the ash laiden ground.

Bend was very small in 1975.

Do you think the pros and cons balance out ?

I meant Mount Hood there .

My Bachelor is a volcano and the 3 Sisters volcanoes that are active even though they don't look like it. My Hood is a volcano. But does it look like a volcano. It's active and very dangerous.

You are going to overcrowd your area talking about the pros and cons of Oregon. Bend is already getting overcrowded. The videos are very interesting indeed. Do you want another Spokane or Seattle or Portland?

Oh wow, a realtor telling me that now is the best time to buy!

same thing is happening in Portland area. Inventory of single family homes is spiking when it should be going down. Single family rental market in PDX city limits is also blowing up with inventory. Usually, I see about 250 houses for rent. Right now we are at nearly 600 as investors try to save their investments, but asking rents are unaffordable for 90% of renters.

Dude the days of multiple offers are over. Many of us have buyer's regret thanks to the whole work from home COVID thing. The first rate cut has already been baked in if you follow Mortgage News Daily. Mortgage rates follow the 10 year Treasury bonds. Maybe by 2026 we'll see 5.5 - 6. I have family there, it's just a small off the path town with people always trying to one up each other. That's what i got out of it.

West side gets alot more forest fire smoke 🤣

I was living in Central Oregon back in the early 90's when a record Brown trout was caught in Paulina Lake. It looks like that record was broken in 2002 when a 28 pound 5 ounce Brown was caught. We got snowed on in July fishing on Crane Prairie during the Damselfly hatch.

Video wasn’t helpful.

Thank you for the tour of the many crate and barrel store locations now when does the video start with homes?

Nicely done and very informative on our local fishing locations. Thank you.

Thank you for acknowledging that he isn't funny.

A town of nearly 100,000 people with infrastructure for 10,000. What could go wrong?

Over crowded, over used and abused recreation areas. Overpriced for a small urban town surrounded by rural areas, it's like they took Cali, Portland, and Seattle and put that vibe in a small town, and the price tags. Though bend does put a shinny coat of paint on everything it's still got the downsides of smaller town life, so that city vibe is only on the surface. It's all smoke and mirrors folks, nothing to see here.

The greed of the real estate market is what has really damaged this town. It’s become a playground for the wealthy.

The irony that your a real estate channel😂 the locals hate yall but hey gotta make that $

Awesome vid

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

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.

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

Any owner financed offers available in Redmond or Bend!? We are flying in from Korea December 1st.

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.
