The Good, The Less Bad, and the Ugly

The Good

Blog 007Some of the best barbeque you’ll find in Oregon is right here in Lake Oswego. Pine Shed Ribs has been named one of the 10 best barbeque restaurants by the Oregonian (the only one so named in the Southwest Metro area), and THE BEST barbeque in PDX by Portland Monthly. Located at 17730 Pilkington Rd, this little restaurant offers up mouth watering beef and pork ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken and great traditional sides like baked beans and coleslaw. I particularly like the outdoor seating on a nice day. My suggestion: get yourself on down there and check it out.

The Less Bad
It was reported this past week that underwater homeowners (those who owe more than their homes are worth) are down 42%. This got me curious about how that is currently reflected in the Lake Oswego housing market, and it is startling. In the last 12 months 73 homes were sold as shortsales (sold for less than the mortgage owed) and 40 were sold as bank foreclosures. In the 12 months prior to that 79 were sold as shortsales and 101 were sold as bank foreclosures. Today is substantially better with just 6 houses on the market as shortsales and 2 as bank foreclosures. Are we seeing the end of the distressed housing? I hope so, for all of our sakes.

The Ugly
Blog 009I am at war with moles in my yard! I love to work in my garden investing my time and my money. So finding the lawn pretty much plowed up by these little creatures is annoying. I refuse to poison them as a result of the great squirrel catastrophe of 2010. My current method involves Juicy Fruit gum. It seems to be working, but not 100%. If you have any suggestions, I would be grateful.

Have a great week!
Dianne

Open Houses for 9/8/13

This Sunday is going to be an open house extravaganza!  I haven’t kept any sort of official record of this sort of thing, but I don’t recall another day that had more open houses than we will have in LO this weekend.  There are 41 houses scheduled to be held open, so it’s going to be a great day for a house tour.

 

Enjoy!

Loan Opportunity

nfculogoI recently became aware of a loan program that caught my attention enough that I want to get the word out.

 

Navy Federal Credit Union is offering 100% financing to it’s members.  This is a remarkable loan product with no Purchaser’s Mortgage Insurance.   It is available to anyone who is a member of Navy Federal.

 

Who is eligible to join Navy Federal?  Members and veterans of our armed forces: Navy, Army, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard, but also those who work in the Department of Defense.  In addition, family members of these veterans can join:  grandparents, grandkids, siblings, spouses,  and children.

 

This means that you don’t have to be a veteran yourself.  If your Mom or grandfather is a veteran, they can join Navy Federal and then you can too.

 

I come from a family with lots of veterans, but also lots who are not.  When I found out about this program, it really made my day.  You see, my son is a Marine Veteran.  He will be able to use his VA benefit to buy his first home with 100% financing, but my daughter is not a veteran.  I had assumed she would have to save her down payment and closing costs, which means home ownership is still a few years away.  Now I know otherwise.  As a Marine veteran, when her brother joins Navy Federal, she can too.  And then she can obtain 100% financing and become a home owner much, much sooner.

 

So you can see how I want to get the message out that this program is available.  Our veterans deserve our admiration and support for their service.  I also know from personal experience that the family of our men and women in the armed forces also serve.  We worry, we support, we comfort, and now we can garner some benefits as well.

 

Please visit the Navy Federal Credit Union website to learn more by clicking here.  You can also call them directly at 1-800-842-6328.

 

And when you are ready to go find that house with your Navy Federal loan, please give Linda or myself a call, we are here to help.
