Oregon Amoung Hottest Markets for Single-Family Housing / Team Thayer #realestate #housing #news

house-sittingon-money1-300x198Using current and forecasted housing fundamentals,Ten-X (formerly Auction.com) reported in its Top Single-Family Housing Markets Report for Winterreleased on Thursday that the top five single-family housing markets in the country are Seattle, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Portland, and Las Vegas.
The markets that ranked high on the list featured the best combination of rising home prices, favorable affordability, and strong demand mixed with demographic and economic conditions that suggest strong housing demand for the future, according to Ten-X.
A surprise entry to the list of the country’s top five single-family housing markets was Las Vegas, which ranked 20th on Ten-X’s single-family market rankings issued on October 20 and made the leap up to 5th in the rankings released on Thursday. The top three markets on the latest list (Seattle, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando) were unchanged from October while Portland moved up one place on the list from 5th to 4th.
“The fact that Las Vegas—ground zero during the foreclosure crisis—has climbed back to become one of the five hottest markets in the country tells you just how far we’ve come in terms of a housing recovery,” said Ten-X Chief Marketing Officer Rick Sharga. “Destination cities like Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando are benefitting from low oil prices, which increase leisure and hospitality business, and in turn boosts employment and home prices. We expect the housing recovery to see some choppiness, but generally continue building on its current momentum.”
3-3 Ten-X tableThe Florida markets as well as Las Vegas are now experiencing increased demand in the housing market, driven by revitalized local economies and population growth. The tech sector continues to drive healthy economic and demographic growth in Seattle and Portland, while many housing fundamentals in these two markets have surpassed their pre-crisis peaks, according to Ten-X.
“The U.S. housing market recovery continues to be supported by underlying economic fundamentals, particularly the improved labor market,” said Ten-X Chief Economist Peter Muoio. “Though new regulatory procedures induced some volatility in late 2015, home sales continued at a healthy pace, and while a tight inventory of homes constrained improvement in sales, it has contributed to accelerated gains in home prices.”

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...
