Justin Drake Real Estate

It's been a busy but amazing start to 2026!
I’ve had the privilege of helping buyers snag some incredible homes:
🏡 A stunning property in Caldera Springs
🏡 A centrally located townhome for a good friend
🏡 A beautiful new build in SE Bend
🏡 Last but not least... me and my wife also purchased our first home, a new build townhome in the Easton Community!

On the listings side, I’ve got two homes live recently:
🏢 A perfectly located West Side condo
🏡 A spacious Tumalo home

Looking forward to what the spring rush will bring, and the rest of 2026.

Just Sold in Newport Hills, NW Bend!

So happy for my buyers who found their dream home, a beautifully updated, single-level gem with everything they wanted in the prime location of Newport Hills.

Check out this quick snapshot of what’s happening in our local Bend market this week compared to the same week last year.

What does this tell us? The market is showing signs of slowing activity. Fewer homes are going under contract, and more listings are coming back on the market or expiring. For buyers, this could mean less competition and more negotiating power. For sellers, it’s a reminder to price strategically and make sure your home stands out.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Bend, now is the time to get the right strategy in place. I’d be happy to walk you through what these trends mean for you.

Closed on a gorgeous 4 bd/3 ba home on Awbrey Butte in Bend! So happy for my buyers (who are close friends of mine) on their new home. Looking forward to celebrating with you two! :)

CLOSED just outside of Bend!
Grateful to help my buyers lock down their dream hobby farm on nearly 7 acres with mountain views, a shop, barn, irrigation, and room for all the animals 🐓🐕🐎 Just minutes from town but feels like a world away.

Excited to see this one come to life, welcome home!
