Fay Ranches Pumpkin Carving Challenge

By Rob Ezell on Thu, 10/27/2011 - 8:33am

Saturday nights in October are always a special time of year on Central Oregon ranches. The weather is cooling, salmon and steelhead are returning, bird hunting is open, deer and elk are available, fields and trees are changing colors, and pumpkins are being harvested!

There are several fun ranches which provide pumpkin patch activities to visit with the kids. These are 6 pumpkins we have picked out and brought home. We had friends over for dinner and a pumpkin carving party which is always a fun activity that unfortunately only comes once a year!

Ranch Market Update

By Gregory W. Fay on Fri, 09/24/2010 - 11:51am

The ranch brokerage market appears to be reemerging throughout the West. There are still pockets in which sellers have resisted adjusting list prices, but in general the adjustment has been made, buyers have come back into the market and ranches in all price ranges that are priced competitively are selling. Year to date Fay Ranches closed volume is up 68% from 2009 and we have over $50m scheduled to close by November 15th.

Several large ranches with list prices north of $20m are either under contract or have closed including the Sun Ranch and the Boot Jack Ranch. There appears to be a movement toward tangible, secure assets.
