Eugene Oregon! Make the Most of this Market! Time to sell now With Team Thayer

A Time of Opportunity for Home Sellers

In real estate timing can be everything, and right now a perfect storm is forming to the benefit of many Eugene area home sellers. Here are 4 key reasons why this spring promises to be an excellent sellers market.
  1. Low mortgage rates. remain historically low while monthly rents in our tight apartment market continue to rise. This is causing many long-time renters to make the jump to home ownership. Low rates also make it easier for existing home owners to move up into larger and higher-priced homes. 
  2. High demand. All of the key statistics point to a very strong demand for Madison area real estate. For example, Dane County single family home sales were up by 14% in January of 2015 compared to January of 2014. Listings with accepted offers are also trending much higher. At the end of January, the number of Dane County single family homes with accepted offers was up by 29% from last year. These numbers from the South Central Wisconsin MLS suggest very strong sales totals in the months ahead. 
  3. Low inventory. Local home and condo inventory is the lowest in many years and continues to trend lower. In some Eugene neighborhoods there are less than 2 months of supply
  4. The spring market. As we covered in a recent post, the late winter and early spring are great times to sell a home. In fact, listing a home by March 1st is an excellent choice. Many home buyers are actively searching during the month of March, while the number of competing listings is relatively low.

Understanding the tax advantages and disadvantages of homeownership #realestate #taxadvantage #taxes #housing #market

It’s no secret that some of the major perks of homeownership are the tax write-offs and advantages that follow the purchase. In fact, according to a 2015 survey by the National Association of Realtors, 80% of homebuyers see homeownership as a good investment, and 43% think it’s better than investing in the stock market. Reaping the rewards of mortgage interest and property tax deductions is just one way to think of your home as an investment. But there are even more real estate–related tax advantages and disadvantages that can slip under a new homeowner’s radar. It can be relatively easy to trigger tax liabilities or perks (and then fail to claim them) on that new piece of  Eugene, Or, real estate . This is why it’s essential to touch base with your tax pro before every real estate transaction, no matter how minor a question you may have. Sometimes planning and timing make a major difference in the financial impact of a real estate–related tax; other times, ...

Team Thayer Real Estate House Flipping Traps! #flippinghouses #eugeneoregon #oregon #housing #market #realestate

If you’ve got several leads waiting to turn into potential deals, you can’t wait for one to suddenly come knocking at your door. Successful real estate house flippers have one trait in common: they place an emphasis on proper planning. Once you’ve secured a deal, you must decide what kind of rehab you will perform. Will you conduct a few simple cosmetic upgrades (like these  10 rehab projects you finish in one weekend )? Or, is the home nice enough to sell after  an easy prehab ? Are there structural damages that will require you to carry out more major renovations? Will you focus on implementing environmentally friendly renovations  – also known as “greenhabbing” – so that you  qualify for certain tax benefits ? Once you’ve determined your strategy, it is important to ask yourself these specific questions before diving into the construction action: What are the current market conditions in my area? What does my ideal buyer look like? Does my marketing cam...
