I would be lost!

Summer is Here Oregon is a Great Vacation Spot
With summer here Oregonians will see a lot of activity from locals and visitors alike. Oregon has a lot to offer for the vacationier, here in central oregon we have lakes, rivers, resorts, sand dunes and resorts to name a few. Sometimes finding a great vacation is right in your own back yard - one of the vacations my kids talk about to this day is the vacation that we never left our own area for. We took a week and every day we visited a new location within 2 hours of our home. The kids had a blast and thought it was great to see such wonders as the top of Newberry Crater, Crater Lake, The Dunes, Feed the squirels at the top of Lava Butte and go almost a mile into a lava tube. This summer many famlies are trying to figure out how to enjoy their vacation time and not break the bank. central oregon has a lot to offer a family that many may not even think of. Many of these attractions are free, some do require a parking pass which can be obtained for a day, or a year. With our ecomony, gas prices and the unknowns ahead of us - a central oregon Vacation bringing you back to the simple beauty may be just what you need.

The Furnishings - They Are Not Part of The DEAL
central oregon homes are often sought after by the second home buyers.  Many of these homes are sold furnished, which can be confusing to the lender, the buyer and the seller.  When furnishings are included they should NOT be part of the transaction.  Any value should be addressed outside of escrow - in our resort communities this can make or break a deal. A couple of years ago I listed a condo at about $50,000 over what both the seller and I knew an appraisal would come in at.  A lot of agents questioned our pricing, they thought we were out of line.  What they failed to realize is that we knew the appraiser could not add the furnishings to the appraisal and that there was no way an lender or appraiser could say that the $60,000 of furnishings had no value. Yes used furniture is not worth much, however, a furniture package that has been used for about 4 weeks at retailed at over $60,000 is worth a lot more than nothing. The condo sold for the asking price and did so quickly - however, the buyer did have to pay more than the home appraised for.  If you are a seller that intends to sell your home furnished, be sure to have an inventory and know that this can cause issues.  Buyers if you are looking to purchase a home furnished - be prepared to possibly have to come to the plate with a little more money or purchase the furnishings outside of escrow. Furnishings are considered personal property and a mortgage can not be placed on personal property. The mortgage is for the home which is real property.  Make sure your lender knows about the furnishings - and be certain your agent is familiar with the process of closing a home with furnishings, it can save you a lot of headaches.

Texas - My Home Away From Home - I Miss You
My phone started ringing last night with family members calling.  First my dad called, he wanted me to know he missed me and understood why I am not there, but the lighting bugs are flying and they are my calling card.  Then my sister Stacy called to say they were going to play poker and wished I was there.  Then Sheila called she had been Cat fishing which I love and agin she wished I was there. You see, up until about 4 years ago I had never seen my dad or a lighting bug and did not know I had 3 other sisters.  We celebrate our finding eachother every May.  May of 2004 was the first time I laid eyes on Texas and the first time I met my Texas family.  Since then every April or May and again in the fall I visit.  We catch up tell stories that many others have heard time and time again but they are totally new to me and mine to them. I generally am there for Mother’s Day - and tomorrow is Mother’s Day - and I am in Oregon.  Oh how I want to be in Texas - I want to see the lighting bugs, hug my sisters - play poker with my brother in law and just hang out with the family. This year with Mike being down, Oregon will have to do… maybe in the fall but I don’t want to get my hopes up. One of the great things about ActiveRain is I can always get a taste of Texas - have you noticed the great agents we have in Texas that are ActiveRain members.  Not sure where these guys were when I was thinking of moving to Texas… but sure glad I know them now - because if I did make that decision I know where to find a good agent. Thanks all you Texas folks for giving me a slice of my home away from home.
