Affordable Homes

Lake Oswego has a reputation for being a community of expensive, luxury homes. And, yes, those homes are abundant in Lake Oswego. But for the buyer looking for an affordable home, Lake Oswego should still be a consideration.

The RMLS has recently begun tracking affordability. What they are comparing is the median income of the metro area (currently $71,200) to the median sales price of the metro area (currently $215,000) and determining the percentage of the median income to make the house payment on the median house. In other words, if a buyer making the median income goes to qualify for a loan, he or she makes enough money to qualify for a house payment that is currently 166% of what the house payment would be if they purchased a home at the current median price. An index of 166 means that current median income can easily support the current median home price. Before the market turned, that purchasing percentage was just 88% (June of 2007). It’s pretty clear that our housing market in 2007 was extremely unaffordable for the average buyer. Today, it is much more affordable.

How does Lake Oswego fit into this, with it’s million dollar mansions? Actually, pretty well. There are currently 71 properties for sale in Lake Oswego that are priced at $215,000 or less. The bulk of those are condominiums, but it is very possible to buy into Lake Oswego within the median household pricing.

Since beginning this blog I have on ocassion compared affordable housing in Lake Oswego to affordable housing in Sellwood, a popular neighborhood in Southeast Portland where I once lived. I have done this because the average consumer assumes Southeast Portland is affordable, just as they assume that Lake Oswego is not. The cost threshold I have used is $350,000. So, by my definition affordable is a home that costs $350,000 or less. I have not included condominiums or attached homes. Today in Lake Oswego there are 74 houses for sale priced at $350,000 or less. Sellwood has just 20.

The least expensive detached house currently for sale in Lake Oswego is priced at $159,000. It is a bank foreclosure. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a single car garage, it has 1625 square feet.

The least expensive detached house currently for sale in Sellwood is priced at $145,000. It is offered as a short sale. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, no garage. It has 1078 square feet, 340 of which are in an unfinished basement.

Have a great week. If you’re in the local area, stay warm and enjoy the snow.

Looking for Red Flags

When I am showing houses, there are a few specific items I watch for. I guess I think of them as red flags: things that create an immediate concern if I see them.

From the curb:
The condition of the roof. Does the roof lay flat or are there waves of high and low areas? This is a sign that the roof is installed over additional layers of roofing material. When the the time comes to replace the roof, will it require a total tear off? What is the condition of the shingles? If they are wood, are they lifting and curling? On a wood roof, this might simply be a sign that the shingles need to be treated with preservative. More concerning on a wood roof is if the shingles are split and broken. On a composition roof, are there missing shingles? Is the material obviously deteriorating?
What is the siding made of? Specifically I am looking for composite siding that was widely used in the 1990’s and manufactured by various companies but commonly referred to as LP siding. I am familiar with the specific knot pattern used in the pressing of the product to look like wood. The other siding I am looking for is EIFS. This is a pre-manufactured stucco product that was widely used about the same time as LP, and usually installed incorrectly. Either one of these siding products immediately tells me that if the house is a candidate, we need to inspect the siding carefully.
Going inside, the electrical panel There are several brands of electrical panels with poor reputations. The most widely used one, and one that I see lots of, were manufactured by Federal Pacific. I have been told, in writing by a licensed electrician, that Federal Pacific panels have been unfairly targeted for failure by over testing and that if all brands of panels were scrutinized to such a degree they too would be found faulty. Having heard this, I have seen documentation that shows that Federal Pacific panels have a history of failure. This red flag, like the others, tells me we need to carefully inspect and investigate.
Older Homes Is there now or has there ever been oil heat? This implies an oil storage tank. This must be addressed prior to purchase. Are there single-pane windows? What insulation has been added to the home? Both issues are going to affect the energy efficiency of the house. Some older homes have been completely updated making these concerns a non-issue. Others have not. It could be a cost consideration in the purchase and livability of the house.
Drainage issues Especially in Oregon, at this time of year, it’s pretty easy to see if the yard has standing water or erosion on an embankment. Generally, drainage issues are highly correctable. It’s good to recognize them so that the right questions can be asked and inspections planned.
Home Owner’s AssociationsWhen buying a property in a Home Owner’s Association (and this is more than just condos and townhouses, many newer subdivisions have HOAs) you are buying into the association and need to be clear about what that means and how it will affect you. Make sure to understand the rules and regulations as well as the costs/budget of the HOA. As part of the home inspection process, a property within an HOA will have inspection considerations that are specific to the HOA including review of the rules and regulations, review of the budget and reserves, as well as review of the Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions. I also recommend getting a copy of the HOA meeting notes for the previous 12 months. If the HOA has problems, the members of the HOA will be talking about them at the regular meetings.

I am by no means an expert on the items on this list. But I do know enough that when I see an issue, I want to bring in an expert to give their opinion about problems or corrections. And really, the inspection process begins the first time you see a house. Having a few key items to quickly review as you look at houses should make the process easier.

So that’s it. My handy little list of red flags.

Mortgage and Market Tidbits

  • Predictions – Both Fiserv and Moody Analytics are reporting that home prices have already leveled out in one of every four metro areas. Both are also saying that they estimate price stability will characterize 3/4 of US markets by the end of 2011, and they are even saying that they are expecting 100% to stabilize by the end of 2012.
    Fiserv in particular is saying that markets already stabilized include San Diego, Washington DC & San Francisco.  They expect markets to stabilize by the end of 2011 in: Minneapolis, New York City, and Portland Oregon (!!!).  Then comes the bad news as their predictions of the markets in Miami, Phoenix & Las Vegas, they say, will not stabilize till 2012.
