We have likely experienced the last bit of snow for the season, with some patches in my yard yet to melt. With warmer weather and summer activities around the corner, we are nearing the busiest time of year for real estate. The Fourth of July is typically a short lull in the action, followed by another busy stretch until Labor Day. That means we have two sixty-day periods that will comprise the majority of the activity of 2026. Whether you are a buyer or seller this year, now is the time to engage the market!

Deschutes County farm listings over $1 million are steady at 14 for the sixth consecutive week, with no pending or closed transactions. Crook County farm listings are up by one to 13, with no pending or closed transactions. While there are some incredible farm properties in Central Oregon, maintaining this land is a substantial undertaking and doesn't appeal to every buyer. However, depending on your needs, I encourage anyone considering large acreage to evaluate the farm opportunities. In most cases, there are attractive tax benefits.
