			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bend Oregon real estate is probably one of the best investments you can make in your lifetime. Bend is one of the most desirable places to live in the United States. There are many kinds of real estate in Bend that are good investments. Below are just a few.</p>
<p>Luxury Homes &#8211; Bend has its share of luxury homes. Awbrey Butte, Broken Top, Pronghorn, down town Bend and homes on residential acreage hold a large portion of Bend&#8217;s luxury homes. To be considered a luxury home the home must have solid counter tops, commercial grade appliances, have a triple car garage or larger and have top quality finishes through out. The lot should also be at least a quarter acre or more with some seclusion or privacy.</p>
<p>As Bend continues to grow, more and more luxury homes are being built. Bend is becoming known for its skiing, relatively mild weather (four seasons), fishing, golfing and many other activities. Bend will continue to grow and the demand for luxury homes will increase in the coming years. Compared to other parts of the country Bend has some real bargains on Luxury Homes.</p>
<p>Horse Properties &#8211; Bend is also horse country. Since Bend is in the high desert horse properties here should have irrigation rights in order to have pasture. Many buyers that ride frequently prefer to be able to ride out the gate on their property and hit the trails on state land, National Forest land or Bureau of Land Management land. If not, most horse property in Bend is a short trailer ride away to some outstanding riding.</p>
<p>Horse set ups in Bend start around $400,000 and go up to the multi-million dollar range. There is usually a good variety of horse property available for sale in Bend at any given time. The Tumalo area in NW Bend has some very premium horse set ups. There are also some extremely nice properties in the upper price range in the Sisters, Oregon area. Sisters is only 15 miles West of Bend.</p>
<p>River Front Homes &#8211; Water front homes are rare in Bend and bring a premium price when available. There are no lakes in Bend with private property on the water. There is only the Deschutes River which runs from South to North through the heart of Bend.</p>
<p>River front homes in downtown Bend sell at a premium. The Deschutes River in downtown is called Mirror Pond. Prices on nice homes on Mirror Pond start around $1,000,000 and go up. If you are lucky enough to own a home on Mirror Pond you can walk to all of the activities downtown. The downtown area has a multitude of activities year round.</p>
<p>Retirement Homes &#8211; Maybe these should be called homes to retire in so not to be confused with homes for the elderly with 24 hour care. </p>
<p>Retirees from all over the United States are moving to Bend. The weather, golfing, fishing, hiking, kayaking, medical facilities, art community, festivals, camping etc. are a huge draw to retirees. Redmond Oregon which is 16 miles north has an International Airport which makes travel to and from Bend easy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Real estate is broadly categorized into two types. This includes residential and commercial real estate. As the name suggests, the latter revolves around sale and lease of property that is intended for use in trade and business. This includes a wide range of business opportunities including shopping malls, gas stations, car parks and office buildings. The Oregon commercial real estate market is huge and encompasses innumerable viable plots and property.</p>
<p>Oregon commercial real estate could refer to an empty plot of land, a building, a store or multiple shops, or even a park. The instant any property is to be used for a business purpose, it is categorized as commercial real estate. Oregon commercial real estate includes land, as well as anything that is permanently built or fixed onto it. These fixtures include nursing homes, buildings and fences. They also refer to pipes, plumbing, heating devices and light fixtures that are inbuilt or fixed on the exterior of a building. Commercial real estate can be purchased, sold or rented as required. </p>
<p>Price points for Oregon commercial real estate depend upon their location. Areas that are established as &#8220;commercially profitable&#8221; are categorized within higher price brackets, as compared to others located in developing areas. Their rates are calculated differently from residential real estate. A number of Oregon real estate listing companies have dedicated commercial real estate databases that are easy to access and designed to help clients find a viable property in a short time. Before finalizing an Oregon commercial real estate deal, it is important to ensure the property is not blacklisted and all fixtures within it are in compliance with state regulations.</p>
