If you’ve spent more than 5 minutes online lately, you’ve probably seen the headlines:

❌ Rates are too high.
❌ Prices are too high.
❌ Nobody is buying.
❌ Nobody is selling.

But here’s what we see every day:

✔️ First-time buyers becoming homeowners.
✔️ Sellers successfully moving on to their next chapter.
✔️ Families finding more space.
✔️ People relocating to Central Oregon and loving where they live.

Every market has challenges. Every market has opportunities.

The “right” time to buy or sell isn’t determined by a headline—it’s determined by your goals, finances, and timeline.

If the market has you feeling stuck or discouraged, let’s talk through your specific situation. You may have more options than you think.

Every week we talk to homeowners who think their Zestimate is their home’s value.

Sometimes it’s high.
Sometimes it’s low.
Almost never does it tell the whole story.

Especially in Central Oregon where just the neighborhood can change value dramatically.

🚨 Big Mortgage Update for Homebuyers 🚨

For years, many buyers believed that if their credit score was below 620 homeownership was off the table.

That’s changing.

Fannie Mae has officially removed its hard 620 credit score requirement for many conventional loans. Instead of relying on one number alone, lenders can now evaluate a borrower’s overall financial picture.

What does that mean?

✅ Credit scores still matter.

✅ Income, assets, reserves, payment history, and overall risk factors may play a larger role.

✅ Some buyers who may have been denied in the past could now have additional financing options available.

Another major change? Newer credit scoring models can consider things like rent payment history, helping some “credit invisible” borrowers demonstrate creditworthiness even without a lengthy credit history.

The takeaway:

Don’t assume you’re not qualified because of a number you saw on Credit Karma six months ago.

If buying a home is on your radar, it may be worth having a conversation with a lender to understand your options. The mortgage world is changing, and opportunities that didn’t exist a year ago may exist today 🤍🏡

☀️ JUNE IN BEND ☀️

If you’re looking for an excuse to get outside this month, Bend makes it pretty easy 😎🌲

Here are a few things happening around town this June:

🧘 Bend Yoga Festival returns June 11–14 with yoga classes, outdoor adventures, music, meditation, and community events throughout downtown Bend.

🎶 Hayden Homes Amphitheater summer concert season is in full swing with artists like Lord Huron, Bailey Zimmerman, Bonnie Raitt, Rhiannon Giddens, comedy shows, and more all month long.

🍅 Bend Farmers Market is back weekly with local produce, flowers, food vendors and small businesses.

🐾 Paws & Pints, makers markets, outdoor community events, and family-friendly activities are happening throughout the month in the Old Mill District and around Central Oregon.

🎵 Reggae Rise Up Oregon Festival takes over the Deschutes County Fairgrounds June 12–14 with three days of live music, food, camping, and summer vibes.

🌄 And honestly, half the fun of June in Bend is just being here. Early mornings on the river, patio season, mountain views, hiking trails, breweries, and those perfect Central Oregon evenings.

This is the time of year that reminds people why they moved to Bend in the first place. ☀️🏔️🍻
