Foreclosure Friday – Deal of the Week

This little gem is located in Milwaukie OR and is listed at a cool $104,900. You’ve gotta love the VA Vendee financing which offers 5% down payment to investors, and a 75% credit on the estimated rent towards qualifing, WOW!

A Cap Rate of 7.28% and a Cash on Cash return of 16.36%. Bonds and CD’s have averaged a return of 4.6% and 3.32% historically, and in 2009 that return was averaging 3.26% and 0.87% respectively. How much are you getting from your investments not 16.26% I suspect.

Portland Oregon Real Estate Market Data - Reporting June 2011

The big story here is two fold. First, the inventory is really declining and is at 6 months. This is the lowest it’s been since July 2007 and I’m seeing the direct result as I show buyers properties. There just is not as much property on the market right now. Second is the average selling price declines. I tend to look at the year over year information rather than compare just May to June, however in this case lower inventory will have a positive impact on equity gains if the inventory remains low.

Neighborhood

Portland Metro saw the average price decline 7.4% from June 2010 to June 2011. One needs to look at the local areas on page 2 of the report to see the decline from area to area. The worst hit areas were Mt. Hood and Columbia County with a 13% and 11.4% respectively. More close to home the worst hit areas we’re Hillsboro/Forest Grove with 10.7%, Oregon City/Canby with 10.2% followed by Lake Oswego/West Linn at 10.1%. All serious price declines.

The areas with the smallest price declines we’re West Portland at 0.7%, NE Portland with 2.4% and NW Washington County at 3.1%. No areas within Portland Metro had any price gains during the reporting period of June 2010 to 2011.

Positive news now and in the future

Two positive items to note; one is the Median sales price has been increasing from January – June of this year! Let’s keep that up. The other is we our under the price trend line from 2001-2011. That means Real Estate is on Sale. The graph on page 5 clearly show this and looking back it’s clear to see the bubble of 2007. Prices will continue to adjust upward over the long term and eventually the Real Estate Sale will end. Can I predict the end of the sale? No way to be certain, but based on the information I read and follow closely, I would say locally in Portland metro, upward trends will be the norm within a year and a half. Don’t expect large increases, but I believe 2%-3% appreciation will be the new norm.

This is exciting!

Soon you will be able to find a home in the neighborhood you want surrounded by the services that are important to you! The example below shows just how powerful this can be! In this example I’ve asked to see: 

  • 3 bedroom 2+ bath homes priced between $200,000 – $300,000 in Beaverton, nothing new right? Just Wait …. 
  • I’ve also asked for elementary schools within a 1/2 mile, Shopping within a 1/2 mile and daycare within 1/4 mile. I get, the perfect location for my family.

If you simply must be within a specific radius to any address, business, medical doctor, or coffee shop you can easily drill down that far. There’s nothing else like this, I’m excited about it and I look forward to bringing this powerful search to you soon.

Stay tuned, and if you want me to notify you when this is live and ready shoot me an e-mail. I’ll be sure you’re one of the first to try it out!
