You May Have Seen Central Oregon And Not Even Known It!
Feel like you have never seen central oregon and wish you had? You very well may have and not even realized it. If you watch movies chances are you have seen at least part of the scenery of central oregon.central oregon has been a hot spot for Hollywood since at least 1958. If you are a Louis L'Amour fan you will know the book Tonka - the movie which I can not find - was filmed in 1958 in the Bend/La Pine area. In 1974 The Apple Dumpling Gang was filmed on the Big Deschutes in La Pine. The scene of the wagon heading down the hill and into the river was filmed where you will now find the subdivision of Wild River. Pringle Falls does not look much like a fall but more like rapids but underneath the rushing water is truly a water fall. Pringle Falls was also the back drop of a scene or two from Rooster Cogburn in 1974. During the filming of this now classic our family had the opportunity to host dinner for John Wayne. He along with others of the cast stayed on our property and to make extra dollars I washed and ironed their shirts.Up the Creek was a funny movie that was filmed in La Pine and Bend, once again the back drop was Pringle Falls - and what is now Wild River Subdivision.The list goes on…..1975 - Search For Sasquatch, 1977 - Hot Lead & Cold Feet. 1980 - St. Helens, 1990 - Grand Tour, 1991 - Incredible Journey, 1992 - Even Cowgirls Get The Blues, White Wolves, 1994 - McKenna (The Series) 1997 - The postmanFor additional movies in Oregon

Sunriver Owners Have Their Homework To Do
Sunriver owners are getting ready to vote on the land purchase for the Village at Sunriver. In the past I have tried to stay somewhat natural and see both sides of this controversial subject. The mall certainly needs help, retail space stands vacant, and businesses come and go. Tonight I read the Land Sale Issues from the savesunriver.org blog and they bring to the surface some very enlightening issues. The new plan does require additional land and to achieve SilverStar's plan they need this land. However, this land belongs to all the owners of Sunriver. What is a fair price? And where will any of the funds once paid go? Do they benefit the entire community? Ballots will be arriving and are due in February - before voting I hope that owners will research exactly what they are agreeing to or disagreeing to. This is more than the issue of highrise condos, improvement to The Village; it is a matter of loosing land that was intended to be used for the common good of the Sunriver Community. Changes are inevitable, but are you willing to give up something as valuable as the land they are asking for at a price some feel is not fair? This land in question belongs to you, please do your homework and know what you are giving up and what you will receive from the sale of this land.The ball is in the court of the homeowner's, and although many agree that something needs to be done at what cost? What are you willing to give up to make the mall a better place? To better prepare yourself to vote the two websiites below may be helpful.The Village at SunriverSave Sunriver
First Time Home Buyer Has To Switch Gears
For months I have been telling people that now is the time to buy especially if you are a first time homebuyer. With FHA, Oregon Bond and other programs still available with great rates, home prices lower than they have been in a long time they need get off the fence an buy before the home or financing is not available.One buyer understands now, they have been reading my blog for several months and finally got off the fence. We found the perfect home, fit their budget, was clean, nice and well priced…. and you guess it… no loan available.FHA and Oregon Bond will loan on a manufactured home, which is what this buyer had set their sights on. But they do not lend on a manufactured home that has been "remarried."Homes married you might ask - a manufactured home that is remarried is one that was orignally set on one lot then moved to another. Lenders have no way to know that they move was done per manufacturer guidelines, or that nothing within the structure was damaged. As frustrating as this is, it may very well be protecting the home buyer as well.To read more about this see Does Your Dream Home Qualify For Financing
