| If you haven't been to Central Oregon, located on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountain range, then you have been missing out on a whole lot of fun, outdoor recreation opportunities and tons of sunshine! Nearly 300 days of sunshine per year - The Central Oregon climate is a dry high desert atmosphere with little precipitation ranging in elevations from 1,500 feet at Warm Springs to 4,200 at Sunriver. Most of our precipitation arrives during the winter months and falls as snow rather than rain like the western half of Oregon. Because of the dramatic climb in elevation, Central Oregon's weather will vary depending on the town you may be in. Sunriver will have snow pack nearly all winter long, whereas Redmond stays mostly dry. Bend lies somewhere in between with a snow fall usually resulting in melting by mid-afternoon. Average temperatures during the summer reach over 80 degrees while winter can get chilly with an average maximum temperature of 41 degrees. Unlike many gray areas in the Northwest, Central Oregon has more sunny days than Houston, Texas, and only 14% less than Phoenix, Arizona. During the winter months, chilly temperatures and a dry climate result in some of the best snow the Northwest has to offer- Mt. Bachelor is one of the biggest and best ski and snowboard resorts on the west coast offering dry powder and a very long season--from mid-November until the end of May. Mt. Bachelor sits at 6,300 feet and tops out at over 9,000 feet with an average snow base of 370 inches. Find Out More About Central Oregon Here |

| So, you’re interested in pursuing the Central Oregon life? You’ve made an excellent choice. Now, your next decision will be a little tougher. Do you want to purchase Sunriver real estate , LaPine real estate or how about Bend real estate? Redmond, Sisters, Prineville, and Madras are growing and are popular choices as well. It’s not all about Bend here in the high desert, even though most people often refer to Bend Oregon because of its popularity and the fact that it is the largest city in the Central Oregon region. LaPine Oregon, has been one of the fastest appreciating real estate markets because of the low housing costs, and after all, it is only a hop, skip and a jump—or 25 miles—away from Bend to the south. Bend area homes are being overlooked for lower priced options outside of Bend. Maybe you are looking for a second home as an investment or just want to feel like you are on vacation 24/7? The Sunriver resort offers a remote feeling while still being close to Bend. You get all of the amenities of a resort living such as three world-class golf courses, pools, tennis courts and over 30 miles of paved bike and walking paths, plus front-door access to the Deschutes River, Mt. Bachelor ski resort, hundreds of lakes, and thousands of acres of National Forest land to hike, bike, and explore.
