Tips & Tidbits

  • Documentation and timelines will be changing soon around your Lending and Closing Disclosures.  Make sure to discuss with your Realtor and your Lender as these changes can affect your ability to meet your contractual Closing date if not monitored properly. Specifically, there are a certain number of days mandated for your review of them prior to being able to Close, so find out your Lender’s plan for timing in getting them to you. Also, Escrow’s documents for your revew will depend on when they receive information from your Lender. Expected current timeline for implementation has now been moved to Oct 1st.
  • Speaking of meeting the Closing date and plotting timelines carefully, also remember to factor in the potential need for sign-off by an Appraiser if there were repairs that require that (either because of FHA or other loan requirements), or because an Appraiser calls something out that will necessitate it…such as the common issue of a Carbon Monoxide Detector not being in the home at the time of the Appraisal (…really  a Good idea to make sure there is one in the home before the Appraisal : )
  • Buyers- Make sure to discuss your Offer pricing with your Realtor in the context of current market value research before making your Offer.  In this competitive market, reports are varying widely that Appraisals are coming in just fine in some instances, and/but low in others. Per the Oregon Residential Real Estate Sale Agreement generally used, you are not obligated to pay over Appraised Value, and a bank will not lend over that value either. So… this becomes an uncomfortable negotiating point toward the end of a transaction should you really Love the house and the Seller won’t budge on price. Sometimes people are able to meet somewhere in the middle on price, but if you decide you want to proceed with some kind of arrangement in this realm of options, any monies over the Appraised Value will need to come out of your pocket. Take a close look at the best info available on values in that neighborhood in the recent past at the outset so that you don’t go too far afield in your eagerness to compete.
  • The same is true for Sellers. Make sure you take into account, when you price your home for sale with your Realtor, that your property will need to appraise “at value” in order to close at the agreed-upon price… without headaches, drama and potential “sale fail”.

News & Notes ~ May Numbers

Here are the most recent real estate numbers for Portland and the Lake Oswego/West Linn areas (RMLS lumps them together).

Enjoy!  I hope you find this helpful.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, May, 2015:

  • There were 4,161 New Listings in May which was up 5.4% from the previous month/April, but down 0.7% from May of 2014.
  • At 2,942 May Closed Sales increased 7.6% over April, and were up  18.5% from May of 2014.
  • May Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 3,546, was down a bit from the previous month by 1.9%, and was 18.6% better than May of 2014.
  •  The Average Sale Price in May of $359,100 was up $11,600. from April’s Average of $347,500, and up $23,800 from May of 2014’s $335,300. 

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn  for the month of May 2015 reported:

    •  414 Active Listings  (364 in April)
    •  276 New Listings    (237 in April)
    •  191 Pending Sales    (200 in March)
    •  155 Closed Sales   (161 in March)
    • Average Sale Price for May of $533,300.  ($506,300. in April)
      • NOTE: Higher-Priced vs Lower-Priced Homes Sales can scew the “Average” in any given month.  Lake Oswego has quite a variety, so this tends to be a less meaningful stat, generally speaking, in this niche.
    • Average Time on the Market: 78 Days  (73in April)

Market Activity ~ June 8-14, 2015

I’m noticing a lot of the homes that have been on the market awhile are moving now. You’ll notice CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) numbers below in Pendings and Solds such as 628, 343, 497, 243, 328, 247, 541, 582…  In 100% of these cases, the price has dropped, and significantly. In our outline below, in the “Solds”, for instance, the “Opening Price” is the price at which the latest iteration of the Listing opened. One of these shows an increase, whereas the actual price drop from where the listing originally started was $279,000.  Anyway, the takeaway here is to aim to price your home right at the start as close as possible to what the market shows it will bear… even if its tempting to go higher. You’ll be better off in the long run… and the process will be much shorter : )   ***This is in no way a criticism of the individual homes below or the people involved… (there are always individual circunstances not reflected here) but rather, just an observation & some thoughts based on the historical data as presented by RMLS, and my thoughts on general best practice.

Another thing I thought to be interesting is the number of what I call “Refreshed” Listings.  I regularly go through the “New” Properties and weed out those that have been refreshed/given a new Listing Number (we Realtors often do this to help boost the marketing for a home a little bit), or that have been off the market less than 30 days. This helps me feel confident that our Property Blotter readers are really getting the scoop on actual “New” properties entering the market.  Out of the 24 Properties listed as “New” this week, a full 9 of those were “Refreshed” Listings (thus, the only 15 listed for you below as really New).      Here is some interesting info I put together from a week’s data snapshot as I was looking to see if there are any trends for the Properties that end up being Refreshed:

Prev. DOM Asking Price Drop from Original
128
88 $40,000
192 $74,000
36 $73,000
109 $29,950
84 $20,400
662 $71,000
108 $5,000

Last week in Lake Oswego we saw 15 New properties enter the market, 25 move to Pending status, and 23 “Closed”/Sold.

Enjoy!   (If you like this kind of thing…. we do : )

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, April, 2015:

  • There were 3,949 New Listings in April which was up 9.8% from the previous month/March, and up 8.8% from April of 2014.
  • At 2,734 April Closed Sales increased 11.3% over March and were up  27.6% from April of 2014.
  • April Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 3,613, was the strongest April since 2005. Up… 6.8%  from March AND 27.9% better than April of 2014.
  •  The Average Sale Price in April of $347,500 was up $10,300. from March’s Average of $337,200, and $14,900 from April of 2014’s $332,600. 

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn  for the month of April 2015 reported:

    •  364 Active Listings  (373 in March)

      • NOTE: Higher-Priced vs Lower-Priced Homes Sales can scew the “Average” in any given month.  Lake Oswego has quite a variety, so this tends to be a less meaningful stat, generally speaking, in this niche.
