Homeownership Rate Is dropping, But Not For Everyone! Team Thayer #realestate #market #housing #news #oregon

Home Protection BH Real Estate News OregonJust when the homeownership rate seemed to be on its way back after falling to a 48-year low in the second quarter of 2015, it took another step backward on Thursday.
One particular demographic, however, is experiencing a dramatic increase homeownership despite the reversal of the nationwide homeownership rate for Q1.
According to the Census Bureau’s Housing Vacancy Survey (HVS) for April 2016 released on Thursday, the U.S. homeownership rate for the first quarter of 2016 declined by 20 basis points over-the-year and by 30 basis points over-the-quarter down to 63.5 percent. The Q1 homeownership rate is only 10 basis points higher than Q2 2015’s 48-year low of 63.4 percent.
For Generation X, however, the homeownership rate is on the way up. About 58.9 percent of Gen Xers owned homes in Q1, which is an over-the-year increase of 50 basis points.
“Of particular note was the continued increase in the homeownership rate for Gen X. Households aged 35-44 increased their homeownership rate a full 0.5 points, moving to 58.9 percent from 58.4 percent,” Trulia Chief Economist Ralph McLaughlin said. “This is the second straight quarter of year-over-year increases. This is important as many Gen Xers lost their homes during the recession, so this is a cautiously optimistic sign that we may be seeing boomerang buyers coming back into homeownership. This also represents a glimmer of hope the homeownership rate for Gen Xers may continue on an upward trend in the remainder of the year. Although this year-over-year change is not statistically significant, the 0.5 point increase is at the upper bound of an error rate of 0.5 percent.”
While the homeownership rate has jumped for Gen X, it has declined among other age groups. The rate for household heads over 65 years of age declined by 20 basis points over-the year in Q1 (down to 78.8 percent) and by 90 basis points for those aged 45 to 54 down to 69.2 percent.

4 Financing Tips For Your Rental Property! Team Thayer #realestate #realestateinvestor #investor #housing #market #rentals #mortgage #news #oregon

With the  spring real estate market  firing on all cylinders, it’s no wonder we are seeing investors come out in record numbers.  Real estate exit strategies  ranging from  wholesale deals  to full rehabs  have become incredibly attractive in today’s housing industry. However, one strategy in particular looks to be in a great place: buy and hold  rental property .

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 campaign target my ide
