ryanrealtybend Want to know the #1 thing homeowners regret after selling without an agent? It’s that they didn’t know how to price their house for today’s market. And it shows. 59% of sellers who list their house on their own miss the mark on pricing and end up having to drop their price at least once. And the truth is, most buyers don’t see price cuts as a second chance. They see them as a red flag something’s seriously wrong with the house. That's why, in the end, the homeowner may actually walk away with less than if they’d just used an agent. So, skip the headache and the hassle. And hire a pro.

ryanrealtybend It can feel like big investors are buying up all the homes right now. But the data tells a different story. Large institutional investors – the ones owning 100+ homes – made up just 1.2% of home purchases in late 2025. That means 99 out of 100 homes were bought by everyday buyers and small, local investors. Not big corporations. In a few areas, investor activity is more noticeable. But nationally, big investors are a much smaller part of the market than most people think. If you’re wondering how this plays out right here in our local market, let’s talk. A little context can make a big difference when you’re deciding your next move. #InstitutionalInvestors #HousingMarket #BendOregon #CentralOregon #InBend #BendLife #VisitBend #BendRealEstate #BendHomes #CentralOregonRealEstate #BendORProperties #RyanRealty

ryanrealtybend Selling your house as-is may sound like a good idea – until you look at what’s happening in the market. On the surface, it feels easy. No repairs. No projects. No extra effort. But here’s the reality. Right now, most sellers are making at least some repairs before they list. Why? Because inventory is up, buyers have choices again, and condition matters. Homes that feel move-in ready get more attention and stronger offers. Homes that don’t? They sit longer and sell for less. Now, that doesn’t mean selling as-is is wrong. It just means it comes with trade-offs. Before you choose the easy route, let’s look at all your options. I’ll show you what buyers are responding to right now in our market – and help you decide what makes the most sense for your situation. #SellingAsIs #HomeSellingTips #BendOregon #CentralOregon #InBend #BendLife #VisitBend #BendRealEstate #BendHomes #CentralOregonRealEstate #BendORProperties #RyanRealty
