sunriver condo: Village at Sunriver - 300 Votes Shy for Approval - 02/19/08 04:58 PM
Silverstar will have to look at other options for Village at Sunriver expansion and remodel.  Although the majority of voters approved the sale of the 6 plus acres being sold to Silverstar the final tally was 300 votes shy of the 60% turn out that was needed to approve the sale.  Silverstar already owns or has options for the 20 acres of the current mall.  Many of the homeowners in Sunriver are disappointed, and many are rejoicing.
I have always said that change is one of the most difficult things for people to embrace, but it appears to me that Silverstar came … (7 comments)

sunriver condo: Sunriver Owners Have Their Homework To Do - 01/26/08 04:32 PM
Sunriver owners are getting ready to vote on the land purchase for the Village at Sunriver.  In the past I have tried to stay somewhat natural and see both sides of this controversial subject.  The mall certainly needs help, retail space stands vacant, and businesses come and go. Tonight I read the Land Sale Issues from the savesunriver.org blog and they bring to the surface some very enlightening issues.  The new plan does require additional land and to achieve SilverStar's plan they need this land.  However, this land belongs to all the owners of Sunriver.  What is a fair price?  And where … (6 comments)

sunriver condo: Village at Sunriver - The Debate is Getting Warm - 10/25/07 08:16 AM
One of the biggest topics of discussion in Sunriver is the new plans and development for the old Village Mall. Home owners have worries, business owners are concerned and yet there seems to be an underlying excitement.
Meetings are being scheduled, zoning is changing, retail space is being condensed and condos are slated for the new project. The number of condos although some say will be 500 is always subject to change, and certainly will not be completed in one full swoop.
Change is one of the most difficult things we as humans go through in life. It is what we resist the … (9 comments)

sunriver condo: Sunriver Resort Shared Owership vs TimeShare - 10/13/07 04:29 AM
Buyers in a resort area often times are curious about timeshares or shared ownership. Many times they do not understand the difference. Marcus and Connie Schwing of Sunriver Realty recently wrote an article about shared ownership in Sunriver.
Shared ownership is a common sale in Sunriver, but there are timeshare units available too. There are two complexes, Stoneridge and The Ridge that are timeshare style ownership. Both of these offer RCI benefits but not all units participate.
When purchasing a timeshare it is vitally important that you understand the schedule in which you are entitled to stays, if the unit can … (8 comments)

sunriver condo: It's Vintage Not Outdated! - 10/10/07 04:53 PM
Sunriver Real Estate is sometimes on the outdated side. The resort was founded in 1968 and homes were built sold, resold and enjoyed by all. Now some of them are aging and who wants to say a home needs updating? Well now it's not outdated it is vintage, that is the newest saying with real estate Central Oregon.
When you walk into a home for a listing appointment it is often difficult to tell someone their home is outdated. Outdated sounds bad, vintage, well that tells the seller that it is old, outdated and only loved by those that love old things.

sunriver condo: Personal Property and Real Estate Sales - 10/09/07 07:03 PM
When you purchase a Sunriver vacation property often times it will come furnished. Generally this is the norm and it is just assumed to be acceptable. However this can cause issues with your loan or appraisal.
All furnishings are considered personal property, a mortgage is on real property not personal property. Many of these furnishings truly have no value and stating so will often times put the lender at ease. There are times though when you have a newer home with a $50,000 furniture package that is included in the purchase price can cause problems.
Appraisers are well aware of the way … (16 comments)

sunriver condo: Out Of Area Agents- You Are Short Changing Yourself! - 10/01/07 02:56 PM
Several months ago I wrote a post called Don't Ask Me To Help YOU Put Your License On The Line in that post I talked about agents from other areas of Oregon attempting to represent their clients in an area they have no clue about. These agents often times are being greedy and think that real estate is the same everywhere and it is all about the commission.
Today, I had another closing (note the word another) and it was the perfect example of what I was talking about. An agent from out of the area came to Sunriver - found a … (24 comments)

sunriver condo: Fall Is The Perfect Time To Buy In Sunriver. - 09/23/07 04:11 PM
Now that school is in session and Sunriver is in what we call the "off season" (after school starts and before the snow flys) it is the prefect time to buy your vacation home. Most of the rental companies are running specials that allow for 3 nights for the price of 2.
The greatest thing about viewing property at this time of year is that with the lower number of guests more homes are available to see. Many times during the summer months guests come to Sunriver and decide that after being here for the third or fourth time maybe they should … (8 comments)

sunriver condo: YOU Are Responsible For Reading Your CC&Rs - 08/26/07 06:31 PM
I recently wrote a post about the CC&Rs in Sunriver and the condo associations in Sunriver. Many Real Estate professionals from around the U.S. commented on how their state has a clause in the contract that allows the buyer to review the CC&Rs prior to moving forward with the contract. In Oregon, our standard contract allows 5 business days (unless otherwise indicated) to review the CC&Rs and preliminary title report.
What does this mean for you the buyer? You may receive documents from your REALTOR® regarding the CC&Rs, but these are just to familiarize yourself with them, the official ones will … (11 comments)

sunriver condo: Does Your REALTOR® Know The CC&R's For Your Area? - 08/26/07 05:01 PM
Buyers and Sellers of Sunriver Properties need to be aware of the CC&R's (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) of the area of which a property is located. Sunriver has a set of CC&Rs and each of the condominium complexes has their own rules in addition to the ones set by Sunriver.
When a buyer uses a REALTOR® that is not familiar with what the CC&Rs are or what the Home Owners Association covers they put themselves at risk of buying something that will not allow for changes or uses that the buyer intended. Sunriver has a set of rules that help keep Sunriver … (16 comments)

sunriver condo: Traditions, Champions Tour a Huge Central Oregon Golf Success - 08/20/07 04:53 PM
Success can be defined in many ways but I certainly think that for the golfers, spectators and people that worked at the Jeld-Wen Traditions golf tournament in Crosswater this last week success is simply defined as job well done.
Sunriver and Crosswater are no strangers to big golf tournaments but this was one of the biggest taken on by our small community. To the spectator it seemed like this was just another day in Crosswater that hosting an event like this happened all the time. In reality it was a first for this tournament. The weather was great expect for the last … (20 comments)

sunriver condo: The Village At Sunriver Will Be A Great Addition to Sunriver - 08/16/07 05:15 PM
In my last post I told you about the new Village at Sunriver. As is typical when you have public opinion and changes there are always people that are in agreement and those that do not agree with a change. The memories that have been created at the old Village Mall are shared by many; I remember ice skating, miniature golf, the Annual Chili Cook-off, the wine tasting and so much more. The Village Mall has been a part of my memories since I was a child.
As an adult, a REALTOR® that works in Sunriver and a local that cares about … (16 comments)

sunriver condo: More Than Just a New Name - The Village at Sunriver - 08/15/07 04:54 PM
Changes are coming to the Sunriver Mall; it is already being referred to as the new name, The Village at Sunriver. SilverStar Destinations, LLC has purchased the Village Mall and has started to make plans for a full renovation and upgrade of this well known landmark.

sunriver condo: Destination Sunriver - 08/05/07 07:22 PM
Second homes and vacation homes are what most buyers in Sunriver Oregon are looking for. Sunriver is full of vacation rentals and second homes. There are several property managers in Sunriver that specialize in the "nightly" rentals of these homes.
Why Sunriver you might ask, the reason is simple. Sunriver is located in the middle of Oregon, at the base of the eastern side of the Cascades. This allows for year around resort living or vacationing and an outdoor lifestyle not available in other areas.
In the summer some of the activities you can expect to enjoy on the resort are; … (18 comments)
