So on Tuesday morning, my buddy’s wife woke up and went about her morning routine. She walked their dog, took a shower, ate breakfast, along with all of life’s other basic duties and requirements. Then, she locked the front door of their rental home in downtown Bend, hopped into their 2000 Honda Accord that was parked on the street, and headed off to work. As she pulled forward, she felt a slight “shimmy” from behind. Stopping and exiting her vehicle, she walked to the rear to investigate. Wondering what in the world was rolling around in her trunk. But after opening the ‘boot’ and Sherlock’ing the hell out of it, she found nothing wrong. Back in the driver’s seat, she slowly eased around a corner near their home and realized that the “shudder” was still present. This time, she got out of her car, and assiduously examined her Honda. To her great surprise she saw that the rear tire on the driver’s side had mysteriously shed itself of all it’s tread during the night.

For Closure
I saw this sign over the weekend and it caught my eye, so I took a picture. Losing your personal residence can be a very traumatic event. Especially to the adult who has labored and chored to provide not just a house, but a home for their family. Yet here, in this picture, a child (assumedly) has drawn a ‘heart’ and a ‘star’ to decorate the sign. And the more I thought about the event (foreclosure) and how a child perceives it, the more hope filled my vision as I looked upon the sign.
So I ask a simple question to anyone who wants to answer.
“What does foreclosure look like to a kid?”
Bend Oregon Real Estate and why it holds
The other day, I was talking with a good buddy. And like always, economics and housing came up in the conversation.
“Jared” he started “I was speaking with my wife-“ stroking his thick beard recalling as he went. “-and you know how you told me your annual wage? Is that just your wage?”
I nodded.
“Well, why don’t you go and negotiate yourself into a home? I know you’re smart. But you can’t put your life on hold just to get the lowest home price.” Our conversation moved itself forward from there. But it got me thinking.
Am I putting my life on hold?
