Louisiana Pacific Siding (LP Siding)

Hello everybody,
I have had my license for almost two months now, and I have learned quite a bit! Today what I am going to talk about is LP siding.
My first clients (as it turns out are my cousin and her husband) have just recently made an offer on a condo. In the weeks leading up to their decision we saw everything from houses, town houses, and other condos. When they first found a house I remember my mother saying:

”Oh… they have LP siding.”

Now let me explain why my mother was hesitant about LP siding, before I go into the decided verdict:
photo 8f755814-85b5-496b-bd2f-14fdfafa0481_zps821e41e0.jpg
Louisiana Pacific (LP) is a company that was founded in 1973 in Tennessee. This company pioneered the production of oriented strand board (OSB) panels. Which was an alternative to the more expensive plywood and solid wood building materials. OSB panels where sold to building manufacturers and homeowners all across the US.
To make OSB panels Louisiana Pacific would harvest small diameter, faster growing timber rather than old growth, and send the cheaper timber through processing to become wood chips. They would then mix the wood chips with glue and set it into a mold to fit the desired diameter for construction. This saved on time and cost, not to mention LP’s OSB panels where easy to install!
In 1985 OSB panels hit the Northwest markets and where the desired material used to construct siding. Many homes where made with LP’s OSB panels as it was inexpensive, quick, and uniform looking. Unfortunately for us up here in the North West, our climate was not factored into the longevity of the panels, made from woodchips and glue, and years later these OSB panels started to disintegrate. One of the major concerns for homeowners and buyers was that the panels would not only sag into clumps of mush along the exterior of their home, but that the mush would rot and host mold and fungus; later requiring a lot more effort to remove then to install the panels themselves initially.
photo 5c758787-6a62-44ca-8bbe-0f53bd2032a1_zpsa4cbef99.jpg
From 1990 to 2000, LP’s OSB panels where installed into nearly every new construction: as contracting companies where usually outsourced and received their orders to build from out of state, so many companies would use LP siding in an effort to conserve funding. This flourishing action of business can be used to date homes with LP siding within the ranges of the late 1980s all the way through the late 1990s.
photo 74998250-642e-4293-94fe-65a94bd6d76f_zps7e38cf8a.jpg
So let’s revisit that moment when my mother and I are standing in the driveway of the first home that we showed to my cousin and her husband: The point where we look over the house and notice the little nit-picky things to ensure that the buyer is well-informed about what it is they are likely to purchase. The home was built in 1998 and very clearly had LP siding. LP siding is easy to spot due to its pattern: there is a token ‘wooden knot’ looking print that is used over, and over again on LP planks to make it look like actual lumber. When we brought this up with my cousin we explained the draw-backs of having LP around the exterior of the house. However, this particular house was very well managed. This home had received a good paint job, which ensured that water did not get past the paint to affect the planks. Keep in mind: paint does age just as the rest of the house would, and in the future would require a thorough, waterproof, exterior paint job or complete exterior replacement. One of our suggestions we made for my cousin was to provide a low offer so that they could get the house at a fair price and spend some money on replacing the LP siding.
All in all, LP is not the greatest external material here in the North West. It does well in climates that are dryer and provide low threat for mold or fungus. Though we do not have nearly as much of a threat in mold as other states do (Texas being the leading state for issues involving mold). The North West still deals with fungus, and above all rain, rain, rain, and more rain!

Thank you for reading along with me. I look forward to sharing more with you in the future!

Loving life in Lake Oswego,
Whitney Gregoire

It’s Tax Time

Funny how it manages to roll around, year after year. The cooler evenings and changing of the leaves also means property taxes are soon arriving in our mail boxes. The statements are usually mailed out mid October and are due to be paid, this year, on November 17th.

I always get questions from new home owners about what they receive in the mail. If you pay your taxes monthly into a reserve account that your lender manages, then your statement is simply that, a statement. It will be yellow in color. Your lender will also receive this statement. They will see to it that your taxes are paid from your reserve account. If you pay your own taxes, then your statement will be green. You can get a 3% discount if you pay them in full by November 17th. You can also break them up in thirds and pay 1/3 November 17, 2014, February 17, 2015, and May 15, 2015.

page-0Another confusing concept is the fact that the statement has two valuations. One is tax assessed value and one is market value. This exists because we have annual tax increase limitations that don’t follow the real market value, thus you receive two values. I am not too impressed by the real market value the county puts out, but it is interesting. As long as the tax assessed value remains lower than the market value, your taxes will increase each year, usually 3%.

If you think your assessed value is too high, you should consider contesting this valuation. If you have been a reader for sometime, you may recall I successfully contested my Mother’s tax assessed value about 2 years ago. Going through the process, her property taxes dropped about 30%. For the county website to get info on this, click here. Please also feel free to pick up the phone and call me (503-803-6298). I’d be happy to help you understand the process. The window of time to contest taxes is short. This year it is from October 20, 2014 to December 31, 2014. So if you are thinking of doing this, get started NOW.

As always, thanks for reading.

News & Notes

Here is the latest data for you on the overall Portland area, as well as specific Lake Oswego/West Linn (RMLS lumps them together) numbers:

The latest real estate numbers in Portland and the Lake Oswego/West Linn areas for August are in. There’s a mixed bag of improvement generally over last year, and/but continued slowing in August, as in July, from the months prior.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area  August, 2014:

  • At 2,586, August Closed Sales dropped 3.4% from the month prior (July), and 1.4% from August of 2013.
  • There were 3,581 New Listings in August which was 4.6% higher than August 2013, but down a whopping 9.4% from the month prior.
  • The Average Sale Price in August of $340,000 was down exactly $4,470 from the month prior. The first eight months of 2014 are logging an Average Sale Price of $332,600, which is up 7.6% over the same time period in 2013.
  • August Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 2,704, were down 3.5%  from the month prior. They were also slowing in July, which indicates fewer offers being made. That said, the Pending sales for August are up 3.4% over August 2013 .

__________________________________________

In Lake Oswego and West Linn we have some slowing in New Listings from July, and exactly the same number of Pending Listings…which is interesting :  )  The number for Closed Sales (how many were actually completed during August) is down a bit. The number of days it is taking for a property to sell is shrinking… which is a Good thing! As always, the Average Sale Price is higher than Portland Metro numbers. This is because of the percentage of high dollar homes, and does not mean that you can’t find reasonably priced homes here as you can see from our weekly Market Activity Reports.

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn  for August reported:

    • 531Active Listings
    • 185 New Listings
    • 148 Pending Sales
    • 134 Closed Sales
    • An average Sale Price of $520,200.
    • Average Time on the Market: 57 Days

Buying versus Renting

Whitney Gregoire’s first post!

Hello everyone, I finally made it, I’m a Realtor! I want to thank Linda Rossi and my mother Dianne Gregoire for providing me with this wonderful opportunity to blog about real estate. I am excited to dive into the profession and look at some amazing houses!

Being a new Realtor in the business means that I have a lot of learning to do (thankfully my Mom is a pro), but perhaps my learning can also be your learning as you follow our blog.

So I wish to share about my very first request from my friends when I finally got my license activated with Oregon First, and that is:

“Now do you only sell houses for sale or can you show people rental houses as well?”

A lot of my good friends are around my age (25-30) and are just getting a handle on their career path and direction in life. Moving into a new home is a grand venture and requires a lot of motivation in your invested self as well as the aptitude of your wallet. So a lot of them are renters. Really this question is more along the lines of: You are ready to move into a new home, do you buy or do you rent?
First off as a real estate broker I can only sell property under the supervision of my principle broker Mickey Lindsey, and not manage rental properties for an owner. So my license does not cover managing rental properties. I can however sell a property to somebody looking to buy who intends on keeping it, as property that they rent out themselves. Unfortunately, even if I help a friend look on-line for a property for rent and send them to a property manager I do not collect a commission. So as you can see there isn’t any motive to help somebody find a rental property for an Oregon broker.

With that said there are pros and cons for renting versus buying that I can touch upon:

Renting:
Renting a home provides for convenience of location while at the same time being affordable. Most often it is your property manager’s responsibility to maintain the general up-keep of the residence, and in some cases they pay the property tax. It’s nice if your income is a bit stretched and you really want to live in certain areas due to work or school. It can however be difficult to be a renter as property managers must enter your home from time to time to maintain the general up-keep (not without giving you twenty-four hours notice of course). And if you break your rental agreement by buying a dog in a dog-free complex you risk termination of the contract which may lead to eviction. So really you do not actually own the property and must live by somebody else’s rules. Then again you are also free of the responsibility of the physical integrity of the property, which is what deposits are for; in case you cause any considerable damage to the home that must be repaired when you move out. You are living in somebody else’s investment.

Buying:

Buying a home is expensive, and keeping up on taxes and liens on the property can be a bit stressful at times. However, there is nothing greater than knowing that you are the owner. Buying a property can be a great investment: as once you pay off the initial mortgage on the property that land becomes yours, and if you sell it you get money (after taxes of course). You can invest in your property however you see fit: You can rent it out to others for monetary gain, you can build a shop on it to support your own business or hobbies, and you can play on it and paint the walls of your house any color you desire. Or just simply live on it. Buying a property means that you are providing yourself with an investment that adds to your personal assets and worth. And isn’t it worth living it for you? I guess I’m bias, being a broker and all.

So all in all I only do the selling of property thing, and I do not deal with rental property. However, if any of you have any questions about rental property or would like to rent feel free to search on the web for your desired location to live in, and contact the property manager of any property that you might find. Have a chat with them and ask them about what they have to offer and/or how it works, because licensed property managers will know more about rental property than I do.

Thank you for reading! If you are at all interested in watching my experience of being a new Realtor unfold then feel free to follow me on facebook!
