What’s Your Sense of Style?

englishjpg

When searching for properties on RMLS, you will first be asked to specify the type of property you are interested in finding. The main property categories include:

Attached- This refers to a townhome which is usually 2-story, part of an HOA, and includes ownership of the lot as well as the structure.
Condo- This refers to a dwelling in an HOA, wherein ownership includes the individual unit together with an undivided interest in common with all unit owners in the “common elements”, which are the land and those parts of the building or buildings intended for common use. Condo ownership is of the interior of the structure, and exterior maintenance is provided by the HOA.
Detached Single Family- This refers to a house on its own lot. Ownership is of the house, inside and out, and the lot itself. Technically, ownership extends up into the atmosphere as well!

When you choose one or more properties for more detailed information, the “style” of the detached homes will be included. Indicating a description of the style of a home for a Realtor is more of an art than a science. This is because a home will potentially contain elements of one style, and also elements of another, particularly if there has been any remodeling of the structure.

I thought it might be fun to give some detail on the characteristics of house styles, and want to thank Judie Teal who contributed data and photographs to RMLS, which RMLS is allowing me to mine and use for your informational pleasure.

There are many, many house styles from which to choose. Here are some significant ones applicable to the larger Portland area:

2-Story: Two-level home with main entrance on lower level. (Photo)

Ranch: Long, low, rambling single-story with simple construction, usually a large picture window in front and an attached garage.

Daylight Ranch: Rambling home with a lower level basement that is partially above ground.

Split-Level: Two-story home split at the entry with one set of stairs going up and another going to the lower level. The entry is not considered a “floor” or story. (Photo)

Tri-Level (NOT to be confused with Split-Level): Usually a ranch style home with a full story added on one end… so, three full floors.

Bungalow: One to one & 1/2 story w/gabled roof & porch across front.

Cottage: Gabled roof line, but lower than the bungalow style, sash windows, and a plain front door. Front porch is either very small or non-existent.

Contemporary: Simple, Uncluttered lines with a non-traditional design. (Photo)

Craftsman: Home has a low pitched gabled roof with wide eaves and exposed rafters. One or two story with a decorative brace and full front porch. Inside there is usually an array of built-in wood cabinetry, often with glass & leaded glass features. (Photo)

Colonial: Two-story home with a steeply pitched roof, small casement windows, and often columns across the front.

Dutch Colonial: This variation has a gambrel or mansard roof and often a side wing. (Photo)

English: Steeply pitched roof, prominent cross gables and tall windows sometimes half-timbered. (Photo at top of post)

Tudor: Similar to the English home, with steeply pitched roof, low doors, small-paned windows and decorative half-timbering. (Photo)

Victorian: Two stories with steep gables, ornate wood detail, Gothic style windows (pointed top), and brackets under eaves. Some also boast turrets.

A-frame: One or two story with peaked, high pitched roof line in the shape of an “A”.

Chalet: A rustic style home featuring projected roofs, large windows and raised foundation. (Photo)

Georgian: A formal square box-like structure with a hipped roof, decorative crown or pediment over the front door with columns on each side, and/or cornice mouldings. (Photo)

Saltbox: Distinctive sloping roof line from the top of the gable which can plunge from 2 and 1/2 stories in the front too a single story in the rear.

Farmhouse: Simple, uncomplicated 2-story construction with a front porch, and sometimes wrap-around porch. (Photo)

Old Portland (Four Square): Very Distinctive style popular in the early 20th century. Large & square two to two & 1/2 story with low hipped roof and deep overhang, large central dormer, full porch w/wide stairs. (Photo)

There are many more styles, but again, these represent the bulk of what you’ll find in the Portland area.

Market Activity for February 9-15, 2009

Last week’s activity was slow, to put it mildly. There were 9 genuine new listings: meaning that they were not previously listed either by another Realtor or at a higher price. There were 4 houses that went pending, and zero closed sales. Probably the most interesting thing I observed is that of the pending sales, 3 out of the 4 sold in 35 days or less. I checked the market history on all of them and these sales really did happen that quickly. So there is a place where market demand meets current economic conditions and properties sell. I also think that buyers who are in the market are watching the inventory and jumping on the good deals. On the flip side is the 4th pending sale. It took 574 days to receive an accepted offer. It was originally listed for $1,199,000 and finally priced dropped, after such a long market time, to $689,000 in order to get it gone.

Observations on Current Inventory

lake-photo A few days ago I spent some time analyzing inventory. I thought I’d share with you some of my observations.

On the day that I did this, February 6, 2009, there were 418 single family, detached, homes for sale in Lake Oswego. Here is the breakdown by price:

$100,000-$199,999 = 3
$200,000-$299,999 = 13
$300,000-$399,999 = 41
$400,000-$499,999 = 48
$500,000-$599,999 = 44
$600,000-$699,999 = 38
$700,000-$799,999 = 28
$800,000-$899,999 = 30
$900,000-$999,999 = 37
$1,000,000+ = 136

If you have been reading the market activity reports on Mondays here at the propertyblotter, you have probably noticed that for the last several months there have been very few properties sold in the million dollar and over price range. In fact, it has been since early December that a sale has closed at that price point. 136 houses priced over a million dollars just seems like a lot of high-end inventory. In all of 2008, 45 houses sold that were priced at a million dollars or greater. At that rate, it will take a little over 3 years for the current inventory to be sold. What does that mean? It means that if you are in the market for a high-end, luxury home, you have lots of houses to choose from and motivated sellers will be making sacrifices to get their properties sold. I think that the sellers who truly have to sell quickly will be dropping prices and making concessions to secure a good sale.

Having said that, you will also have noticed that in this Monday’s market activity report two high-end homes went sale pending: one for $995,000 and one for $1,995,000.

It is very typical that the market is slow during the holidays. Seeing the two pendings this week can be seen as the market gearing up as we approach spring, which is a very active time for sales.

In doing this, I really enjoyed seeing the break down of the numbers in the more affordable price ranges as well. There are quite a few really nice homes that would not require jumbo loan financing. A jumbo loan is $417,000 or greater and typically has a higher interest rate than a conventional loan.

I also have from time to time compared the inventory of homes priced at $350,000 or less in Lake Oswego to the inventory available in Sellwood, a neighborhood in SE Portland. I have done this because I believe that Lake Oswego is often over-looked for affordable housing because of its reputation for million dollar housing. The first time I made the comparison, last April, there were 20 houses for sale in LO and 18 in Sellwood. The next time I did it, last August, there were 28 in LO and 32 in Sellwood. At the time of this current analysis I have found 36 in LO and 27 in Sellwood. So both areas have more houses for sale priced at $350,000 or less than they did 10 months ago, and Lake Oswego continues to be strong in this price range.

The least expensive house for sale in Lake Oswego, that is not a tear-down fixer, is priced at $189,900. It was built in 1955 and has 1320 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. It’s on a very large lot in Lake Grove.

The most expensive house for sale in Lake Oswego is Jantzen Island. A private island in the lake of 5.5 acres with a 10,000 square foot main house and a 3500 square foot guest house. It’s priced at $19,500,000.

I am curious to see how our inventory changes as we go into the spring. With the current economy it is bound to be slower than normal. If anything, the current economy is increasing the number of homes in the more modest price ranges. And for buyers who want and are able to purchase a high-end home, there is great selection and some great deals to be found.

Market Activity Report – February 2-8, 2009

Lake Oswego saw 14 new properties hit the market last week. We had 6 go pending, and 5 that closed. Looks like some steady activity is continuing.

I think it’s interesting to note that some of the older inventory is moving, and some of the newer inventory is moving rather quickly, relatively speaking, as evidenced by 3 pending sales that had been on the market for over 8 months, and one other achieving pending status in just 7 days! The other two were on the market for less than 3 months before getting to pending status. As for sold/closed properties- one of the 5 had been on the market for over 11 months prior to sale, but we had one sell in about 2 weeks, and 2 that had been on the market for 5 & a just a little over 5 months.

Here is the latest market activity for Lake Oswego (see below the tables for additional notes):

No Loans?

You hear it every day: “There are just no loans out there. No one is lending.” Well, I’m here to tell you that this is just not true. While it is true that all lenders have become more restrictive, and the news media asks “Where did all that money go?”, there are still indeed lenders staying focused on moving forward through the morass, and doing good business with qualified home buyers.

I think we all agree that the changes in qualifying standards are good for the community at large, and good for individual buyers. Sometimes it is also helpful to have a program that takes a holistic approach to the individual applicant. There has been a lot of light shed on the downsides of 100% financing, but a buyer in good credit standing with a qualifying debt to income ratio along with other complying factors, first-timer or not, can really benefit from a good 100% program.

I work with a variety of lenders I trust in order to be able to recommend good lending sources to my clients. I say this to make sure you understand I am not recommending any one lender, and encourage any buyer to check out all their options (there are more than you think!). That said, I was struck by the program at KeyBank, as were my cohorts, and thought it worthy of some blog space. I am particularly encouraged when a lender in today’s economic climate makes a point of supporting the local community, and that is what we appear to have here. I’ll give you some details below, and would be happy to point you to a contact person at KeyBank if you’d like more info. As always, if you are working with a Realtor, please do consult them for advice and recommendations on lenders they trust.

OK, here are the main points pertaining to the KeyBank 100% program:

Financing is 100% w/no mortgage insurance
30-year fixed w/no prepayment penalty
620+ credit score
On the job for 2+ years
Primary residence only
Seller contribution allowed to a maximum of 3%
Must have at least $500. in the bank
Must also have one month’s PITI available (this, however, can come as a gift)
Fees are: $395./appraisal, $300./processing, $300./underwriting
Max 42% debt-to-income ratio
If self-employed, must give 2 years’ tax returns
Must have 2 years’ satisfactory rent or mortgage payment history
Rates vary all the time, but today I’m told you’re looking at approx 5.5%
(for more info, email me and I’ll put you in touch w/a rep for KeyBank)

Now, there is another component, and that is geographical area. There are certain areas that have been identified as fitting into the program’s guidelines. To find out if a property you are interested in fits the guidelines, enter an address here: http://www.ffiec.gov/Geocode/default.aspx

Granted, in order to meet the guidelines in Lake Oswego, you are probably looking at homes in lower price ranges and/or condos in order to qualify. If a property of interest does not fit into the geographic guidelines, you can still take advantage of this program, but would most likely need to have an income of less than $52,000. according to the KeyBank rep. with whom I spoke. This is a great program for first time buyers or those wishing to purchase a condo or starter home in Lake Oswego!

I hope this info was helpful. Please do feel free to contact me with any questions. There are still lots of programs out there with several lenders suited to those who meet credit and debt to income standards that vary with each institution.

Very Best,
