2015 Economic Forecast

While 2014 may be winding down, 2015 is just around the corner. I tend to think of this time of year as a time to regroup. Business is slower. It gives me a chance to catch my breath, but also to gear up. January 1, I want to hit the ground running. With that in mind, I try to take advantage of First American Title’s annual economic forecast. This event happened this morning and I thought I share some of what I learned.

The expert who gives this presentation is John Mitchell, Chief Economist for M&H Economic Consultants. He does a great job of taking a dry subject that is filled with numbers and charts, and making it entertaining and engaging. I am going to share with you a few highlights.

For the most part the outlook is good. While economic growth has been slow, it has also been steady. For the past few years there have been fits and starts with the economy. Mr. Mitchell likened it to Bill Murray and Groundhog Day. We’ve seen it before and we will see it again. The economy is chugging along. It’s not explosive, but it is more steady than not.

Some positive news:
Consumers who have delayed major life decisions (getting married, having a child, buying a bigger house) are gaining confidence and starting to make those big moves. This is a stimulus for the housing market.

The US Economy is the envy of the world. Financial and personal security are threatened in many parts of the world (Asia and Europe continue to lag in economic recovery, then there are the world events in Russia and the Middle East). This has countries and individuals looking to put their assets where they feel they will be secure, and that place is the United States. Mr. Mitchell gave credit to this influx of foreign money for the unexpectedly low interest rates of 2014.

The housing market is rebounding with both existing family home and new construction selling at greater rates than they have in years.

Oregon was #6 in the Nation for job growth in 2014.

Nationally, mortgage delinquencies are the lowest they have been since 2000.

Some concerns:
We are entering a whole new world that has no historic precedent. The stimulus package is pretty much over. The Federal Reserve is no longer buying mortgage backed securities. The economy is going to have to hold up the anticipated growth on its own. Having said that, the Fed is prepared to jump back in and re-engage if needed. This shows how fragile this recovery is. There is a lot of uncertainty.

The world situation has a lot of areas of concern. Ebola and ISIS were not on our radar a year ago. A major event can derail our economy. These events are not just difficult to hear about because of their horror, they also have an impact on our economy through things like consumer confidence and political turmoil.

Slowly gathering strength
On the whole, our economy is slowly gathering strength. As the job market grows and people feel more financially stable, they start to make decisions to improve their lives. Buying a new home is a big part of that picture.

Mr. Mitchell did advise that interest rates are likely to go up in 2015, but it will be fact driven. If the economy is not rebounding, they will stay low. If the economic rebound gets stronger, they will go up. Odd to think that rising interest rates are triggered by good news, but they are.

My personal thought on all of this is that our government and the Fed need our housing market to continue to rebound. It is vital to our National economic health. I have confidence that the housing market will stay on track with slow and steady growth.

As always, thanks for reading The Blotter,

Market Activity Nov 10-16, 2014

Last week in Lake Oswego had some interesting data. There were 11 new listings, 22 pending sales, and just 8 closed sales. What I find interesting is the large number of pendings compared to the new listings. It’s obvious that those who are in the mood to buy want to move in before Christmas, and those who want to sell are not is no much of a hurry with the holidays at hand. Also of note is the short market time of the pending sales. This next week or two will be a good time to list a home for sale to take advantage of the pre-holiday rush.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

Lender Required Repairs

A common statement I have heard many times over the years is “the lender will require the repair”. I just don’t think that is the case much of the time. I thought it might be helpful to give you my experience about lenders and repairs.

Most lenders want a house to be livable. It can be old, it can be dirty or worn out, but it has to be livable. That means no dangerous situations like a deck without a railing that is 10 feet off the ground, or holes in sheet rock, or missing flooring. Lenders also want at least 3-5 years of life left in the roof and a clear pest and dry rot report. Both of these are obtained through professional inspections.

But many things that are assumed to be a problem simply are not. This is not a promise that you won’t run into lender issues on these items. It is simply my experience that they have not been a problem. I have sold houses with post and peer foundations, with LP siding, with nearly every window having a broken seal. Seriously, I sold this really modern house that had 30 windows, 26 of which were clouded over with broken seals. And it was sold with a VA loan, usually considered to be the hardest loan for a property to qualify for.

So know that houses do not need to be perfect to get financing. They need to be “livable”. “Livable” condition may not suit a picky buyer, but that is an entirely different standard.

A good plan, if you are thinking of selling, is to invite a Realtor to your home well in advance so that they can give you an opinion of items to address. Ask for both their opinion on lender required repairs and also their opinion on items to enhance the sale and to make the house show well. Linda, Whitney, and I would all be happy to help.

It’s Tax Time

Funny how it manages to roll around, year after year. The cooler evenings and changing of the leaves also means property taxes are soon arriving in our mail boxes. The statements are usually mailed out mid October and are due to be paid, this year, on November 17th.

I always get questions from new home owners about what they receive in the mail. If you pay your taxes monthly into a reserve account that your lender manages, then your statement is simply that, a statement. It will be yellow in color. Your lender will also receive this statement. They will see to it that your taxes are paid from your reserve account. If you pay your own taxes, then your statement will be green. You can get a 3% discount if you pay them in full by November 17th. You can also break them up in thirds and pay 1/3 November 17, 2014, February 17, 2015, and May 15, 2015.

Another confusing concept is the fact that the statement has two valuations. One is tax assessed value and one is market value. This exists because we have annual tax increase limitations that don’t follow the real market value, thus you receive two values. I am not too impressed by the real market value the county puts out, but it is interesting. As long as the tax assessed value remains lower than the market value, your taxes will increase each year, usually 3%.

If you think your assessed value is too high, you should consider contesting this valuation. If you have been a reader for sometime, you may recall I successfully contested my Mother’s tax assessed value about 2 years ago. Going through the process, her property taxes dropped about 30%. For the county website to get info on this, click here. Please also feel free to pick up the phone and call me (503-803-6298). I’d be happy to help you understand the process. The window of time to contest taxes is short. This year it is from October 20, 2014 to December 31, 2014. So if you are thinking of doing this, get started NOW.

As always, thanks for reading.

Kiss Comes to LO

There hasn’t been this much excitement over a celebrity sighting in LO since Bruce Springsteen married Julianne Phillips in a midnight wedding at Our Lady of the Lake Church.

On September 14th, Kiss played a charity concert at the home of Rick and Erika Miller on Jantzen Island. I first learned about it when a friend posted on facebook that they had stumbled upon the concert while out on their boat for an evening jaunt. Pretty cool to find a surprise concert.

It turns out that band member Tommy Thayer is the son of James Thayer, now 93, who was a part of George Patton’s 3rd Army that liberated several Nazi death camps at the end of World War II. A military museum is now being build at Camp Withycombe in Clackamas. The new museum, now under construction, is going to be named after Tommy Thayer’s father. It will be the Brig. Gen. James B Thayer Oregon Military Museum.

Honoring the U.S. Military is a passion of the band. There is even a possibility that Gene Simmons mother was in one of the camps that Tommy Thayer’s Dad helped liberate.

The event raised $1.15 million for the construction of the museum.

What I like about this story is that Kiss came to town. I mean, come on, it’s Kiss. The other thing I like is that it means LO is a small enough town that it’s a big deal.

Market Activity Sept 8-14, 2014

It certainly feels like the waning days of summer with the crisp fell of fall in the evening air. Our market continues to be strong, although less active as it was over the summer. Last week in Lake Oswego we had 20 new listings, 17 houses go into pending status and 7 sold/closed sales.

Welcome Whitney!

I am just super excited to announce the addition of my daughter, Whitney Gregoire, to our team here at the blotter. My Mom was a Realtor here in Lake Oswego for nearly 30 years. I got my license in 1987, and now Whitney has gotten her license as well. I guess it’s in our blood.

Whitney is a graduate of Lakeridge High School here in Lake Oswego and graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2008 with a degree in computer annimation. She is extremely creative and engaging. I think you’ll enjoy the energy she brings to her endeavors. I am excited to have her computer and technical skills be part of our team. I think she will give you a fresh perspective on the topic of real estate.

Welcome Whitney!
