Redmond, Oregon: Selling in a Big Central Oregon Park Market

Redmond Parks, Starting With the Senior Side

Redmond has one of the deeper park markets in central Oregon. Directory results list dozens of parks in the Redmond area. We name three with clear Redmond addresses below. If your park is not named here, the Oregon process still applies in full.

• Mountain View Mobile Home Park — 6100 S Hwy 97, Redmond. A 55-and-older community. One directory profile put lot rent in a $400 to $1,100 monthly range, including trash, water, and sewer. That range is broad and may be dated. Get the current rent for your space in writing before quoting it.
• Remington Arms — 1515 N.W. Fir Ave, Redmond. Listed as an all-age community with 86 lots. We found no published rent in the results reviewed. Get the current figure from the park office.
• Aspen Creek Mh Park — 1235 S.W. 23rd, Redmond. Listed with 254 lots. No current rent appears in published sources in the results reviewed. Check the current rent with the park office.

Big parks mean more buyers already know the area. They also mean more competing listings. Price against recent asks in your own park first, then the city, not the other way around.

The Legal Steps, Without Jargon

Your home is personal property in Oregon, not deeded real estate. The ownership document sits with DCBS. Selling means transferring that document, for a $55 state fee, after the county certifies taxes are paid on Form 2952.

The park then screens your buyer. ORS 90.680 sets the pattern: written application, then a decision within 7 days for a complete application, or 10 days if the seller skipped the 10-day pre-sale notice. The park's screening must be substantially similar to what it uses for buyers of its own homes.

Rent changes need 90 days of written notice and can happen at most once in 12 months. That rule protects your buyer, and it protects your deal from a last-minute surprise.

General information only here, not legal advice. Confirm the statutes or ask an Oregon attorney when the facts get tricky.

Redmond in Plain Terms

Redmond is in Deschutes County, north of Bend on Highway 97. The 2020 Census counted 33,274 people. It has grown fast, with an airport, shopping, and services that draw from across central Oregon. Manufactured homes help keep housing within reach here, which is why so many parks exist.

The homes covered here sit in parks or on leased land. The lot land is not conveyed. You sell the structure. You keep renting the lot.

What You Pay With Go On MLS

Three cumulative tiers apply. The $99 tier is the MLS listing: up to 20 photos, MyStateMLS, and syndication to 135+ listing sites including Google. The $1,999 tier brings purchase-agreement help, DocuSign, and escrow coordination. The $6,999 full-service tier is limited to Portland metro area, so Redmond sellers cannot use it. Redmond sellers choose the $99 or $1,999 tier.

Redmond Seller Questions

Does a big park help or hurt my sale?

Both. More buyers know the park, but more sellers compete with you. A confirmed rent figure and clean photos set your listing apart.

Can I sell a 55+ home to a younger buyer?

Only if the park's age rule allows it. Ask the office for the exact rule before you market to anyone.

What if my rent range is wide, like $400 to $1,100?

Do not quote the range. Quote your space's current rent, confirmed in writing. Ranges confuse buyers and slow offers.

Is financing harder for park homes?

Park homes often use chattel-style loans rather than mortgages, since no land is involved. The financing calculator can help a buyer estimate the monthly cost.
