Featured Property: 19 Juarez St

This is just a stunning house. I am super excited to be representing it’s owners as it is sold. Full disclosure, the house received an accepted offer the day it was put up for sale. I think this speaks to two things. First, contemporary homes are super popular right now. I’ve been in this business long enough to remember a time when traditional homes was what was hot and the contemporaries were slow to sell. That is not the case in 2018. Contemporary homes are hot, hot, hot. Second, it pays to take good care of your property. The owners of this house have really enjoyed it and done improvements over the entire time that they have owned it and it shows.

The house is in Lake Oswego but just across the county line into Multnomah County. It is part of the Mountain Park Home Owner’s Association. This means it has access to the wonderful rec facility with swimming, weightroom, basketball, a big reception room, and 15 miles of walking paths.

It was built in 1982 and has 3584 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 bonus rooms, a living room, and a family room. It’s a 2 car garage. There are valley views to the South and 6 big decks take advantage of those views. The asking price was $739,900. We are in escrow and going through the home inspection process. I am confident of the solidness of the current buyer, but I am also keeping a list of people who want to be contacted if it comes back onto the market. Please let me know if you want to be added to that list.

Enjoy the weekend!

Be Careful When Wiring Funds

One of the urgent issues that has developed in real estate, and in pretty much any area where large amounts of money are being transferred via wire, is wire fraud. We are all learning to be defensive in what we open that comes into our email in boxes. Never open a link from someone you don’t know, that sort of thing. But the wire fraud scam is very clever. Here is how it works. Thieves hack into email accounts and look for activity that could be a good target. Things like emails from Realtors and Title Companies. They then do an outstanding job of duplicating the official look of the people involved and they watch and wait for when it looks like the sale is coming to the point of money exchanging hands. Then they strike by sending out an official-looking email that tells the recipient to wire their funds needed to close to an account that they have set up. Being a good party to the transaction, the victim wires the requested funds. Boom. They’ve just been ripped off.

The biggest victim I’ve heard of using this technique was Southern Oregon State University. In the course of building a new building on campus they fell victim to someone claiming to be a contractor who needed to be paid. The loss was over a million dollars.

So beware. Realtors and Title companies know this is going on and are taking strong measures to protect clients. I personally have set up a double layer password system that requires a code sent to my cell phone to access my email account. From my end I am working very hard to not be hacked. But there are a few things that you can do as well.

1. Protect email accounts: Perpetrators of wire fraud often carry out their crimes after having hacked an email account. Use a strong password, change it periodically and use two factor authentication on any accounts used in connection with real estate closings. Customers should be strongly encouraged to do the same.

2. Call, don’t email: Customers should confirm all wiring instructions verbally before transferring funds. They should independently verify the phone number of the settlement agent or closing attorney (e.g. website, purchase contract, business card, etc.).

3. Be suspicious: It’s not common for wiring instructions and payment info to change. It’s also not common for the lender to provide wire instructions. A good mortgage company will never provide wire instructions to its homebuyers.

4. Confirm it all: Customers should ask their bank to confirm not only the account number but also the ABA routing number and the name on the account before sending a wire.

5. Verify immediately: Customers should contact the settlement agent or closing attorney to validate that the funds were received. Detecting that funds were sent to the wrong account within 24 hours offers the best chance of recovering the money.

6. Forward, don’t reply: When responding to an email, click on forward instead of reply and then start typing in the person’s email address. Criminals use email addresses that are very similar to the real one for a company. By typing the email addresses, it’s easier to identify if you’re a target of fraud.

7. Use a cashier’s check instead: Customers should consider not wiring funds at all. They should speak with the settlement agent or closing attorney about the procedures for using a cashier’s check instead of sending their funds by wire.

Be smart and be safe out there.

Market Activity May 21-27, 2018

Looking at the real estate activity in Lake Oswego last week what stands out to me is just how balanced it is. We had nearly identical numbers with 28 new listings, 25 Pending sales, and 29 closed sales. This means that properties are coming onto the market at the same rate that they are selling. It feels very balanced and healthy for both buyers and sellers.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

Fun with Fido

Hazelia Field’s “shy” dog park
The livability of a community has so much to do with what is available to use and to enjoy. It’s a big part of the reason that I personally moved to Lake Oswego and why I continue to enjoy living here. This is important to me for my own enjoyment and also for the enjoyment of those I love, including my pets.

I think it’s rather impressive that a town the size of LO, not a very big town with just shy of 39,000 people, has 4 dog parks. All 4 of them have off leash areas.

A well-earned drink
Pilkington Park (19043 Pilkington Rd) and McNary Park (47 Becket) both have big grassy areas that allow dogs to enjoy off-leash play. These parks are not fenced in. They are open from March 15-September 15 each year.

Hazalia Field (17800 Stafford Rd) is the most impressive of the off-leash dog parks. It has two separate fenced in areas, one for normal dogs and one for shy or timid dogs. Seriously, do you know of any other town that has an off-leash dog park for shy dogs? The fenced in areas are impressive with double-gated entries to allow you to enter the park with your dog leashed and then take the leash off before you open the second gate to let them charge out to play. This park is open all year round.

Well-designed entry
The newest dog park, and what prompted me to want to write this post, just opened about a mile from my house in West Waluga Park (15775 Waluga Dr). Like the park at Hazalia Field it has a big fenced in area with a double-gated entrance. This park is open March 15-September 15.

A well-exercised dog is a well-behaved dog. With this beautiful spring weather get out there and let Fido loose. He needs a good romp just like the rest of us.
