Oregon In Top Single-Family Housing Markets! Team Thayer #RealEstate #housing #market #investor #news #oregon

Rising home prices, home appreciation, favorable affordability, and excellent economic and demographic conditions have set the stage for the top single-family housing markets in the U.S for investors.
Using current and forecasted housing fundamentals,Ten-X (formerly Auction.com) reported in its Top Single-Family Housing Markets Report for Spring 2016 released on Thursday that among the 50 largest U.S. markets, the top five single-family housing markets in the country are Seattle, Portland, Nashville, Palm Beach County, and Fort Lauderdale.
According to Ten-X, Seattle has been at the top of this list for three consecutive reports, while Portland once again claimed the second-place spot.  In Florida markets, Fort Lauderdale went from second to fifth on the list and Palm Beach County moved up to fourth place. Meanwhile, Nashville ranked third and marks its return to the top five for the first time in a year.
“We're continuing to see a return to fundamentals driving the housing market, as cities with above average population growth and job creation are recovering much more rapidly,” said Ten-X EVP Rick Sharga. “The solid tech sector has helped cities like Seattle and Portland maintain strong economic growth, which in turn has helped fuel the housing market, and the Florida housing market continues its post-recession recovery with South and Central Florida cities experiencing explosive growth.”

“Despite a few economic headwinds, the U.S. housing market remains on solid ground,” said Ten-X Chief Economist Peter Muoio. “There are still some causes for concern, such as affordability and limited inventory, plus mortgage availability is still tight. But overall home sales should continue to prosper on the strength of fundamentals. Wages have gone up, interest rates are still low, and the labor market is healthy.”

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.
