tigard real estate: Tigard Home Prices Show Substantial Improvement
- 05/15/13 08:47 AM
Tigard Home Prices Show Substantial Improvement single family homes Tigard home prices show substantial improvement in 2013. The average sale price the first four months of 2013 compared to the first four months of 2012 increased 17%. This is a crazy high figure that is certainly not sustainable. This anomaly is caused by many Buyers chasing few listings. I had a listing that attracted 15 offers! It was priced as the highest in the neighborhood. In 2 or 3 months it will no longer be that high. If you compare the period of May 2012 thru April 2013 to the same time a year … (0 comments)
tigard real estate: Oregon Property Tax Trade Offs
- 03/14/13 12:45 PM
Oregon Property Taxes Trade Offs Oregon Property Taxes: As a member of the Washington County Board of Property Tax Appeals (BOPTA) for 11 years, I have acquired a greater understanding of our Oregon property tax system than the average citizen, and it seems many government leaders.
The Oregonian ran a story on 2/28/2013 titled “Time to tweak property taxes?” Has time eroded our memories as to why we ended up with this “insane” tax system? As a consequence of Measure 5, Oregon property taxes rose dramatically each year in the early 90’s and Measure 50 was passed to limit … (0 comments)

- 01/24/13 09:19 AM
Tigard Home Prices Rising single family homes Tigard home prices rose 1.3% in 2012. This figure is only for single family homes. I have been tracking the sale of single family homes in Tigard for over 4 years. This is not a great deal of appreciation, but it is the first yearly increase I have seen in over 4 years. Tigard home prices are rising, but we are not yet in a “normal market” for the following reasons: There are still many short sales and Bank Owned properties (REO). These are not typical Sellers with typical Seller motivations. My data does … (0 comments)

Most people have heard of foreclosures, but don't know that buying one is relatively easy and usually profitable, if you start out with reasonable expectations. A foreclosure is when the Bank owns the property and the property no longer has a mortgage. Foreclosure, Bank owned property, and REO (real estate owned) basically all mean the same thing; the Bank has taken back the property and wants to sell it. Not all Bank owned properties are bargains, but many are. Just like any other property, condition and location must be considered, along with the price of comparable … (5 comments)
tigard real estate: If this is a Buyer's Market, then where are the Buyers?
- 12/14/10 09:36 AM
If this is a Buyer's Market, then where are the Buyers? A Buyer's market is one that favors the Buyer. In normal times this means that there is more inventory than demand. The current abundance of very affordable homes for sale and the historically low interest rates would make this a buyer's market of colossal magnitude, but Buyer's are staying away when they should be crawling out of the woodwork to take advantage of the situation. In reality, sadly, this is a Buyer's market only because few have the ability to buy. Why is this happening? •1. Lack of jobs. When … (6 comments)

tigard real estate: Is your Tigard Realtor telling you the truth?
- 02/03/10 04:34 AM
Is your Tigard Realtor telling you the truth? You have probably heard that the economy has reached the bottom and is not going to get much worse. Some Realtors are taking this news and touting that the real estate market is poised to make a comeback. Realtors so want some optimistic news, that they are willing to take some minor good news and speculate a real estate rebound. I think that the best view that we can accept right now is that the rate in deterioration of the real estate market is not going to be as severe as the last … (0 comments)

tigard real estate: What is a short sale?
- 01/05/10 02:44 PM
What is a short sale? We have been hearing this term a lot lately and some first time home buyers are not sure what a "short sale" is. Basically a short sale happens when the Bank allows the Seller to sell the property for less than what is owed to the Bank. If the Seller can't continue making the payments, it is better for them to sell "short", than to go all the way to foreclosure. It is usually better financially for the Bank to allow a short sale than let the property go to foreclosure. Short sales are far from … (3 comments)

tigard real estate: Which is better for my credit score, a short sale or a foreclosure?
- 12/27/09 11:59 AM
Which is better for my credit score, a short sale or a foreclosure? They both have the same affect on your credit score. A foreclosure does not penalize your FICO score more than a short sale according to MyFICO.com .There are some people who think a foreclosure is worse to their credit score than a short sale. Credit score aside, there are other financial issues to consider when defaulting on your mortgage. If you are in danger of loosing your home, seek qualified legal and financial advice. Wayne B.

tigard real estate: Professional staging sells home faster.
- 05/07/08 06:14 PM
Professional staging sells homes faster. It's no secret that sellers are taking a beating in the current real estate market. If you do not need to sell, now is not the time to try. If you do need to sell, because of a job transfer or family reasons, you want your house to stand out from the many other listings on the market. According to StagedHomes.com, staged homes sell on average around 31 days. The current average time on market is considerably higher than that. My observations of local sales confirm that staged homes do sell faster, and for close to … (13 comments)
tigard real estate: Commercial Leases: Negotiating the Personal Guarantee
- 05/03/08 12:11 PM
Commercial Leases: Negotiating Personal Guarantees When entering into a commercial lease, the Landlord often requires a personal guarantee from the business owners, even if they have formed a corporation or LLC, and may refuse to rent the space without one. This means that the guarantors will make the lease and other payments if the business fails. Landlords often ask for a personal guarantee from start-ups and other small businesses. This is a risk for small business owners because the company is usually their sole source of income. Bankruptcy becomes a very real option, because if the company cannot meet its expenses, … (6 comments)
