This weekend brings the 6th annual Bite of Bend festival. Information from the website:
The Bite exceeded everyone’s expectations last year with an estimated 20,000 attendee’s; we expect that number to grow in 2008 Due to the great attendance, we were able to raise a substantial amount of money for local charities.
Here is the concert and kids schedule:

“She’s in control of the purchasing decision whether she’s single or married, has kids or doesn’t, or is young or old. So why are you ignoring her?”
- Ann Matesi, Senior Contributing Editor of HousingZone.com
In 2007 married couples were the largest group of home buyers at 61% and single women accounted for the second largest group at 22%. That means that women influenced 83% of the home buying decisions in 2007. With a number like 83%, if you are not yet marketing the female home buyer you are missing out on a significant opportunity. This leads us to the age old question, “What do women want?”

Working directly with homebuyers, I am often asked about green building features. People want to know not only what to look for in a home but also how to know that there really are energy savings built into the home.
Earth Advantage® certification is a great way for a buyer to know that a builder is committed to providing energy savings for the homeowner and as well as using green building practices. Woodhill Homes currently offers Earth Advantage certified homes as part of their Responsible Home Collection in Woodhill Park, Bend 10 and now, Reed Pointe.
