If you’ve been dreaming about making a move to Central Oregon, there’s no better season to take the leap than summer. With clear skies, vibrant communities, and plenty of homes on the market, relocating during the warmer months makes both practical and lifestyle sense.
Whether you’re looking for a fresh start, a better quality of life, or just want to explore the high desert beauty of the Pacific Northwest, this guide will walk you through exactly why summer is the sweet spot for relocating to Central Oregon.
At Pahlisch Select, we’re more than just homebuilders—we’re people who live, work, and play here, too. Let us show you why now might be the perfect time to start your next chapter.
1. The Weather Makes Moving Easy
Let’s face it—moving is hard enough without unpredictable weather getting in the way. In Central Oregon, summer weather is reliably dry, warm, and sunny, which makes packing, hauling, and settling in much easier.
Quick Weather Snapshot:
- Average temps: 75–85°F
- Low humidity
- Minimal rain
- Over 250 sunny days per year
Unlike the icy roads of winter or the chill of spring, summer in Central Oregon offers comfortable, consistent weather that’s ideal for everything from touring open houses to moving boxes into your new home.
2. Explore the Area at Its Best
One of the best parts of relocating is discovering your new neighborhood—and Central Oregon comes alive in the summer. From outdoor concerts in Bend and Redmond to local farmer’s markets, community events, and outdoor dining, this season gives you the full experience of life here.
Local Summer Favorites:
- Paddleboarding on the Deschutes River
- Hiking and biking trails in the Cascade Mountains
- Weekend markets in Sisters and Sunriver
- Golf, camping, and wine tasting galore
- Family-friendly festivals and street fairs
You’ll quickly get a sense of what daily life looks like here and whether a particular area feels like home.
3. A More Active Housing Market
Summer tends to be the most active real estate season in Central Oregon. That means:
- More listings to choose from
- Greater variety in neighborhoods and home styles
- More new construction opportunities available
- Homes are show-ready with beautiful curb appeal
Builders also ramp up production in the warmer months, which means brand-new homes are more readily available—especially in growing communities throughout Bend, Redmond, and beyond.
4. Settle in Before School Starts
If you’re relocating with kids, summer gives your family time to adjust before the next school year. You’ll have time to explore local school districts, meet neighbors, and help your children transition smoothly.
Many of our Pahlisch Select communities are located near high-performing schools, local parks, and safe, family-oriented neighborhoods. Summer move-ins allow your kids to make friends early—at the pool, park, or community events!
5. Take Advantage of Outdoor Living Right Away
Imagine moving into your new home and immediately enjoying evening BBQs on the patio, morning coffee under your pergola, and lazy afternoons in a shady backyard. That’s the kind of lifestyle Central Oregon offers in the summer months.
Many of our homes at Pahlisch Select are designed with indoor-outdoor living in mind, featuring:
- Covered patios
- Built-in outdoor kitchens
- Fire pit areas
- Smart landscaping
- Easy access to trails and parks
By relocating in summer, you get to take full advantage of your outdoor space the moment you move in.
6. Summer Jobs & Career Opportunities
For many professionals, summer can also be a strategic time to relocate. The job market in Central Oregon has been steadily growing, especially in sectors like:
- Healthcare
- Education
- Outdoor and tourism industries
- Tech startups and remote work
- Construction and skilled trades
If you’re planning a career shift or looking for better work-life balance, Central Oregon offers that rare combination of professional opportunity and quality of life.
7. Enjoy the Lifestyle Right Away
At its heart, summer in Central Oregon is about living fully. It’s paddleboarding before dinner, hiking after work, hitting the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings, or just sipping wine on your deck as the sun sets behind the Cascades.
This lifestyle doesn’t need to wait until you’re “settled.” Moving in the summer means you start enjoying it on day one.
