Featured Property: 17856 Robin View Ct

Robin View 033I am proud to introduce you to 17856 Robin View Ct. Full disclosure here: this house is just South of the Lake Oswego city limits and is actually located in West Linn. However, it is waterfront property and I do believe a person shopping for a house on the water in Lake Oswego would also likely look at this property.

This is a truly special house. Designed by Walter Gordon, it was built in 1956. Walter Gordon was a well-known Northwest Architect who at one time was the Director of the Portland Art Museum as well as the Dean of the School of Architecture at U of O.

The current owner has respected the significance of the original design and the architectural integrity remains intact.

Robin View 026You enter the house through an understated entry that then opens into an amazing clerestory greatroom that features a floor-to-ceiling stone and copper fireplace. The greatroom includes the main living area, the dining room, a den, and a library. All are paneled is rich wood. There is a wall of windows that looks out to the Willamette River.

The house is situated on a private .68 acre lot that has river frontage on the Willamette. There is a level grass area near the water for recreation. The house itself sits up off of the river and has river views from most major rooms.

Robin View 005Here are the specifics:
Built in 1956
3735 square feet
4 bedrooms (2 are non-conforming)
3 baths
Greatroom + Familyroom
Cedaroak Elementary
Rosemont Ridge Jr High
West Linn High
Offered at $895,000

I will be holding this house open this Sunday from Noon to 2pm. Please follow the signs from River Road.

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday,
Dianne

14 Mistakes that can Hurt Your Home’s Value

ST359S_PICMSN Real Estate recently had an excellent article on things people do to homes that actually devalues them. I thought the list was pretty spot on, and so I want to share it with you here. I will also give you my take on each item.

Over Developing for your Area
Your home is directly affected by the surrounding homes in your area. That old adage location, location, location really does hold true. So don’t expect to get all of your money back if the surrounding properties are selling for significantly less.

Inconsistent Remodeling
My personal pet peeve is when a great old house gets gutted and made “up-to-date”. 1980’s kitchens in 1920’s bungalows and just horrible. When you remodel, try to respect the style of the home and work within it’s parameters. You must have liked it at least a little, otherwise you wouldn’t have bought the house, right?

Fully Enclosing a Front Porch
While it may be a good way to create an entry space, it really has a huge impact on the curb appeal of the house. Consider doing a partial enclosure, or perhaps screened porch.

Too Much “You” in Your Home
I once toured a house with about a 100 dolls displayed. They were having little tea parties and sitting on doilies. This creates a total distraction that most people don’t relate to. It certainly puts off potential buyers.

Messing Up the Floorplan
A floor plan should be easy to maneuver in. You shouldn’t have to go through rooms to get to other rooms such as adding a bedroom to the back of a bedroom. If it seems odd, it is.

Keeping an Above-Ground Pool
No one wants to have to remove and take away other people’s abandoned toys. They are also a bit of a monolith to look at. Get rid of it.

Tackling Big Projects Yourself
While the temptation to save money may be strong, you could actually loose money in the end. Get it done right. It needs to look like it was professionally done.

Over-stuffing a Remodel
Less can actually be more. Over-filling a space will make it feel small and cramped. Declutter to enlarge rooms. They should feel spacious and bright.

Too Trendy
This is a tough one. If you are buying a new home, building an addition, or remodeling an existing home, you are restricted by what you can find to purchase. So the show rooms and stores are going to have what is current and popular today. I see 2 solutions: stick with classic colors and styles, or consider shopping at stores that recycle and resell house parts. The author of the article that I obtained this list from specifically mentioned the little skinny tiles currently being used in counter back splashes. It is true that they just scream 2013. But if you like them, use them. Just know that in a few years they’ll we need to be replaced.

Converting the Garage
If you do a garage conversion, leave the door and door tracks in place so that it can be easily converted back. This will preserve the curb appeal of the house and allow a future owner to retain the garage.

Not Getting Permits
Don’t even think of doing remodeling without proper permits. Not only will it create an obstacle at the time of resale, but it could have serious consequences if you ever make a claim with your home owner’s insurance.

Keeping Brass
Brass that was so popular in the 1990’s is out, out, out. You can buy bathroom conversion kits for things like shower doors, and then go after changing out the hinges, knobs, and light fixtures. This sort of project is rather labor intensive. Consider doing it a bit at a time so that after a few months it’s complete. I think this is one of the single easiest items to do to improve value.

thOver-the-top Colors
No, purple is not a good idea. Over-powering decorating is a total distraction. Having said this, don’t be afraid of color. All white is not currently very popular either. My advice is to go and visit some new neighborhoods with model homes. Builders hire designers to tastefully select colors. You’ll get some good ideas that should be pretty safe.

Ignoring Flaws
This one is a bit like the frog in the pan of slowly heated water. We live in our homes and get used to them. When the house is listed for sale, all of those little things you have grown used to may be just the combination that keeps the house from selling. And the single biggest flaw that is easily fixed is cleaning the house. Clean it top to bottom, every window, every closet. Make it sparkle.

I hope you find this helpful.

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.
