Despite the snowy winter of 2016-2017 and the unprecedented wildfires experienced during the summer, Central Oregon real estate sales remain strong. Although the trends seem unsustainable, the roughly 10% increase in sales price year after year since 2011 have continued in the single family home market in Bend, Redmond, and Sunriver. Only Sisters shows a reduction in the average October sales price from a year before, perhaps a reflection of this summer's Milli fire which was located just outside of the Sisters city limits.

Locally, Bend's workforce is older than it was 10 years ago, but the diversity of the economy speaks well for future down turns. Bend has jobs in the medical profession, construction, tourism, high-tech, and more so if one specter of the economy is impacted, most likely the city will be able to weather a recession better than a city where only one or two types of businesses hold the majority of jobs.
Discussion also focused on small business start ups and small business loans. Both are on the uptick across the country which speaks well for continued optimism and growth.
