Market Activity Feb 9-15, 2015

Ok, I am going to just say it, I LOVE living in the Pacific Northwest. This past week it has been 60 degrees and sunny. We have a chance of sprinkles the next couple of days, and then…more sun! That’s pretty perfect for this time of year.

Last week in LO we had 8 new listings, 27 pending sales, and 7 closed sales. My prediction is that in the next few weeks the number of new listings will at least double and, even more likely, triple. If they don’t? We are going to see prices go up. Low supply drives up prices. We shall see….

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

The 10 days of the Inspection Period

Inspections! Inspections! Inspections!

So as my learning experience continues to chug along like the little real estate choo choo train that it is; I have come to really value what is found during the home inspections process and I’d like to share some of my experience with you!

First of all I cannot stress how critical the inspection time period is: From the moment an offer is accepted (and all counters are considered) your inspection period starts.

In our contract it states:
”Buyer shall have ___ business days (ten [10] if not filled in), after the date Buyer and Seller have signed this Agreement (hereinafter the “Inspection Period”), which is to complete all inspections and negotiations with Seller regarding any matters disclosed in any inspection report.”

Now! I don’t want to get too preachy, as our contract has a WEALTH of information that protects both our buyers and sellers. But this portion is super important. Basically what it is saying is that once your offer (as a buyer) is accepted then you have 10 business days to fully inspect the home that you are about to buy. At the end of the 10 business days the inspection period closes and it will be assumed that as the buyer you are accepting the house as is!

How you should see this; is as your safety net for an investment and start your inspections ASAP once you enter those 10 days. The sooner you can collect further information on the house the better, as you will want to further negotiate with the seller about the things you have found.

Now I know that those out there who have the sale of their house in mind are thinking:

“Hey wait a minute! What about me? The sale of my home is my investment as well!”

And that is absolutely correct! During the inspection period it will be critical for you as the seller to allow the buyer to perform these inspections so that they may gather the necessary information on the house, and hopefully buy it from you. Whatever comes back to you as a critical or necessary change to the property (that the buyer wishes to express) becomes your knowledge as well, and as a seller you will want to know.

Now during these 10 business days of the Inspection Period, a buyer can at any time unconditionally disapprove of the house due to the found inspections and leave the contract. Say for instance the entire main bathroom floor is rotted and neither buyer nor seller can afford the costly repair at this time, the buyer can decide to politely take his leave as well as his earnest money.

So all in all I wish to communicate that getting your inspections done promptly once entering into a contract to buy a home is super important for everybody involved. 10 business days may seem like a fair amount of time, but by no means is it a time to put off. The inspection period time is your time in your investment.

Historic Homes

107 Burnham Rd, The Tug Master's House, circa 1905
107 Burnham Rd, The Tug Master’s House, circa 1905
I think we have all heard of the National Register of Historic Places and have a vague idea that it means you get tax breaks and have to let the public in your house occasionally. At least that is a notion I have had for some time. That is until recently.

Lake Oswego has many historic properties. Touring a home that is currently for sale, a 1920’s church that has been converted to a home, the subject came up and I got curious for details. What I learned is quite different from what my perception had been.

First of all, the requirement to allow the public into your home is long gone. It simply isn’t safe to allow strangers into your home. Second, there are not a lot of tax benefits to the designation. If you own or are buying a home with historic designation it really is about the love of the property and the desire to preserve it.

There are several designations.

1125 Maple St, The Black House, circa 1933
1125 Maple St, The Black House, circa 1933
The most famous is run by the United States Park Service and is the National Register of Historic Places. To have this designation the property us usually at least 50 years old. It is also either architecturally significant or has been the home of a famous individual or was the location of a famous event. This is by far the most prestigious designation. Lake Oswego has 17 properties that are on the National Register, 13 of which are houses. To find a list of these properties, click here. At the National level there are no tax benefits for these historic properties. At the state level, there are.

The State of Oregon runs its own historic registry that is pretty much all of the Oregon properties that are on the National Historic Registry. The state does offer a tax incentive, but it is tied into the preservation of the property. Essentially you have to propose and get approved a plan that would take 10% of the current market value of the property and apply that same amount of money over the course of 10 years to do substantial rehabilitation projects on the property. Preference is given to projects that improve and maintain the exterior. When finished, you must place an approved plaque on the exterior. In return for doing this, your property taxes are frozen for the same 10 years. For more information about this program, click here.

The last historic designation is local. Lake Oswego has its own historic designation list. There are currently 72 properties on this list. The owners of these properties must retain the character of the exterior, but they can remodel the interior. Any exterior alterations must be consistent with the buildings historic character, and any changes made are subject to review and approval of the Development Review Commission. The City has also, in the past, made available grants of up to $2000 for restoration and preservation of these properties. For the list of Lake Oswego properties, click here.

16906 Cherry Crest Dr, The Laidlaw House, circa 1930
16906 Cherry Crest Dr, The Laidlaw House, circa 1930
I personally really love old homes. My current home was built in 1923 and is likely the original farm house in my Lake Grove neighborhood. I also appreciate when old homes are preserved and neighborhood character is retained. First Addition is a superb example of this. Don’t get me wrong, I love new houses too. For spacious floor plans and large closets, that is the better option. Perhaps the perfect house is a new one that is built in the old style. There are quite of those in Lake Oswego as well.

The bottom line is that I really value and appreciate the efforts at all levels, local to National, that encourages the preservation of historic properties. Perhaps you do as well.
