Some Thoughts on Easter   : )  ~

At this time of year we start to see the blossoms on the trees, and the nascent sprouts of bulbs coming up from the ground for air, and to bloom for our (and their) pleasure.  We look at our neglected yards and start to daydream about plants to install decoratively and functionally (have you noticed how raised bed “victory” gardens have become the norm almost everywhere ???  I think this is so wonderful : )  We start to sneeze, and try to remember what alleviated our allergy symptoms last year.  As we drive down the street we notice more & more “for sale” signs as those who want to make a change of some sort venture forth (now is a great time to beat the onslaught of new listings to come, by the way).  Those of us planning vacations are booking flights online to get the best prices. Those of us who have awoken from a long winter slumber to new love or a new job or new anything are practically chirping with the birds as we greet the day in early morning hours…. and that is the biggest thing about this time of year.  Newness.  Everything seems new.  Look around… you might even see sunshine and blue skies as we get ready for the heavenly months to come in our beloved Oregon locale.  My only message here is to notice… Notice the newness in your life, and savor it.  Take advantage of it.  Live this day for the New day that it is. It will not come again.

Happy Easter!

Linda & Dianne

* Capital Improvement Plan Open House – March 8th 5-7PM, City Hall~  See what projects are included in the Fiscal Year 2012-13 to 2016-17 draft funding plan. Some include repaving A Avenue and Kerr Parkway and completing Rosemont Trail. There is also talk of correcting water drainage issues on Rockinghorse Lane. Call Anthony Hooper at 503-697-7422  for more information.

*Adult Community Center (ACC) Happy Hour/Open House ~  Sunday, March 18, 1-4 PM, 505 G Ave – Fun!  Come join other Lake Oswegans and lean about new programs while listening to the musical stylings of  the Old Time Fiddlers on the upper level and singer-guitarist Tom Stroud in the café  (tell Tom I said “Hi” in case I can’t make it : ). CLICK HERE   for more information.

* Daylight Savings Begins! – March 11th, 2 AM  ~  Make sure to move your clocks ahead by one hour so that you are on time for the ACC Happy Hour… and of course on time to work!

 

Some Thoughts on Real Estate  ~

 

* Short Sales and You –  Short Sales have become part of the landscape in real estate. If you become involved in a short sale transaction, make sure to go over the details with your Realtor.  There are differences in how many are presented in RMLS after a Seller accepts your offer. Specifically, sometimes the Listing will be held in the “Active” section until the lien holder(s) (banks) come to agreement with you.  Sometimes you can achieve a change to “Pending” status which reduces the chance of others offering during your open transaction.

Earnest Money Checks – Again, in short sale transactions most Buyers are advised that they are likely in for a long haul as they wait for responses and red tape to be processed.  ***This does NOT mean that your earnest money check can be less than “good” when you hand it to your Realtor.  Your earnest money check will be held (usually by escrow, but sometimes in a client trust account), but in any event, essentially “cashed” and deposited in a safe place awaiting mutual acceptance with the lien holders, Seller and you.

Loan Officers – When setting out to buy a home, talk with your Realtor about options for reputable Lenders.  A good Lender is a crucial asset in the home-buying process.  A less-than-stellar loan officer can throw the entire train off track. Things you might assess include:

  • Expertise,
  • Types and Sources of Funds,
  • In-House Lending Options,
  • Availability and Accessibility of the Loan Officer (i.e., if you call on Saturday or Sunday and need a customized Approval Letter, will he/she be there for you?),
  • Is there a Good Relationship between your Realtor and the Loan Officer (remember… we are all humans, and loyalty comes into play naturally when a relationship exists…. that can work to your advantage when the going gets tough and perhaps extra attention or late hours are required to get the job done), and lastly,
  • Is Mortgage Lending what they do “Primarily”?   (Sometimes, especially in banks, someone can be charged with handling loans as a side-duty in addition to many others…..  You want an expert.)

Hope this information is helpful!

Very Best,

Linda
