Kromm Real Estate Team at Real Broker Licensed in the state of Oregon Homes are where families are raised, memories are made, and where being comfortable can mean anything you want.

Home is truly where the heart is. Buying and selling real estate can be a daunting and challenging task that for most people is the single greatest purchase of their lives. I am fortunate enough to get to help people every day with their real estate dreams by guiding them with advice and education through the process of buying and selling. Having lived in Oregon well over half of my life I would consider myself a native. Before moving to Central Oregon in 2010 my wife and I lived in Tennessee where new home construction was the family business. Personally, working in both fields of construction and selling new homes gives me an advantage when working with my clients. Completion of advanced training courses has earned designations as a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) by the National Assn of Realtors. SRES training deals with meeting the needs of maturing Americans when buying, selling, relocating or investing in real estate. ABR courses focus on home buyers’ needs and how to best serve them in the home buying process. I love Central Oregon and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. My passions include playing and coaching in the local hockey community, spending time on the various rivers and lakes with a fly rod in my hand and of course spending quality time with my wife and two young children.

If you love the dense forest vibes of Northwest Crossing but the "modern farmhouse" look isn't hitting the mark, you need to see Valhalla Heights.

Located just north of Shevlin Park Road, this neighborhood is the total opposite of a cookie-cutter development.

We’re talking:

Massive old-growth trees for that true mountain town feel.

Unique mid-century charm from the '60s and '70s.

Architecture with character: Big windows, vaulted ceilings, and all the wood accents.

If you want a home that actually has a soul, this is the spot. 🏠✨

In my opinion, this little triangle of land is one of the most unique spots in all of Bend.

Located right above the Old Mill District, the location is almost offensive—it's that good. You are just a stone’s throw from the heart of the action; you could bike to a concert at the amphitheater in about four minutes. Heck, depending on the wind, you might even be able to hear the headliner for free right from your own backyard.

What makes it special isn't just the proximity, but the character. You’ll find a huge mix of home types, styles, and ages—ranging from cool mid-70s builds to modern designs. Plus, the area is filled with large, mature trees that give it a settled, established feel you don't always get with newer developments.

Is Bend still a good place to buy a home in 2026? 🤔🏠

If you search for answers online, most of what you'll find is generic, fear-driven headline news—or written by someone who thinks we still ride horses to Costco in Oregon! 🐴🛍️

Here's the real story about Bend's market: Bend isn't just one market. How your investment performs depends heavily on which zip code you're looking at:

📍 97701 (Eastside): Buyers here are value-conscious, with a balanced inventory mix creating a calm, neutral market.
📍 97702 (South Bend): Reacts quickly to mortgage rate changes and ebbs and flows directly with buyer affordability.
📍 97703 (Westside): Higher-end inventory where buyers don't blink as much at rate increases and appreciation behaves completely differently.

So, is it a good time to buy? Yes—but not because prices are plummeting or rates are perfect. It’s about knowing how to navigate hyper-local micro-markets!

Sisters is known for being scenic, quiet, and charming. But behind the scenes, a major urban growth boundary expansion is in the works.

Roughly 260 acres are on the table to help provide housing for the local workforce. It’s a move that has the whole town talking—balancing the desperate need for homes with the very real concerns about infrastructure and safety.

When you live in a town this size, every new acre matters.

What’s your take on the Sisters expansion? 💬

It’s hard to imagine Bend without the iconic stacks of the Old Mill District, but their story started long before the concerts and coffee shops.

The Brooks-Scanlon and Shevlin-Hixon mills were once the heartbeat of this town, turning Central Oregon into a timber powerhouse. Today, those same landmarks watch over a different kind of bustle—one filled with community, floating the Deschutes, and enjoying everything we love about life in Bend.

Check out some incredible "then and now" shots of our favorite local landmark! 📸🌲

Planning to hit the trail in Central Oregon this weekend? Don't forget your $1 permit! 🌲🥾

If you’ve tried hiking popular spots like Green Lakes, South Sister, or Broken Top, you know how wild trailheads can get. Ever wonder why Central Oregon instituted the Wilderness Permit system?

Back in 2020–2021, local trail traffic exploded by hundreds of percent! To protect these high-alpine ecosystems from turning into a bumper-to-bumper line up the mountain, the Forest Service brought in a simple reservation system to keep our backyards beautiful and wild. Here’s the fast cheat-sheet for snagging a pass:

💻 Where to go: recreation.gov
💵 Cost: Just $1 per permit
⏰ Pro-Tip: Set your alarm for 5:45 AM! Passes release at 6:00 AM—10 days out for early planners, and 2 days out for last-minute weekend warriors.

We love where we live, and protecting these natural views is part of what makes calling Central Oregon home so special!

Is now actually a good time to buy a home in Bend?" 🤔

If you’ve googled that lately, you’ve probably gotten generic national advice from people who think we still ride horses to Costco. 🤠🛒

The real answer isn't one-size-fits-all—it depends on which Bend zip code you're eyeing:

📍97701 (Value-Driven): A calm, balanced market where buyers get a steady, level playing field.

📍 97702 (Rate-Sensitive): Ebbs and flows with interest rates, creating quick windows of opportunity.

📍 97703 (High-End & Luxury): Buyers here aren't phase-driven by rate shifts, keeping appreciation strong and distinct.

The bottom line for 2026? Bend is still a high-demand, limited-supply market. Waiting for the "perfect bottom" is like trying to time the crypto market... good luck with that! 😉

Buying now gives you more leverage, more options, and lets you beat the wave of buyers who will rush in when rates drop. 👇 Planning a move or investment in Central Oregon this year?
