  • Housing crisis What’s Next? PDX Renovations Can Help!

    Housing crisis

    Not again? Experts are now saying that Supply is the Next projected “Housing Crisis” in America.  The Housing market has gone completely in the opposite direction as the last crisis in which millions of Americans found themselves upside down in homes and mortgages.

    Truly that was more of a “Bad financing” crisis than what’s happening today.

    First-time homebuyers are being crowded out because the number of “Starter” homes on the market has declined 43.6% in the past four years.

    It’s simple. The homeowners who want to take the next step into something bigger or better just can’t afford to get to the next level. The number of “trade up” homes on the market is also down about 40% in the same time period.

    “Meanwhile, mortgage lenders (despite record low rates) are still reluctant to extend credit to less than superb borrowers.” Myles, Udland, Business Insider

    What does this mean to you, or the first-time homeowner? Down payments are difficult to save and people just aren’t committed to staying in one area.

    When the economy is bad, people feel the instability and that means not wanting to commit to a mortgage a lot of the time.

    Why buy a house and move when your job could be eliminated or a lay-off could occur any day. There are plenty of reasons to fear an unstable economy and being a homeowner can be scary.

    Is Portland feeling the pinch of this new crisis? Or Vancouver for that matter? Ask your friends and family who may be looking for a home in the area? There are just not enough houses at the right price points to go around.

  • Vacant Homes for Sale

    Vacant Homes for Sale

     

    Do you have a spare house? Let’s say you do and you aren’t sure what you want to do with it. Life keeps moving forward, but you don’t have the cash, time or patience for yet another home What if It’s vacant, taking up your time and energy, but for what? Will you be renting it out or perhaps putting it on the market? Whatever your decision will be, you’ll most definitely be spending some big money in preparations. There are vacant homes for sale more often than you’d think. People just don’t have time for them.

    Do you want to rent it? Renters require a certain amount of time, energy and patience and having the house up to a “rental satisfaction” will mean making sure everything is in working order. Selling a house will take even more attention as now you are not only considering the renters, you have to consider your realtor and what they would want you to do to get it into sale shape, the inspection company, who will tell you everything tiny thing that needs fixing and the new buyer who might insist on a new roof or new carpets before they make an offer. There are plenty of things to consider.

    Your vacant house can also be subject to vandalism, pest infestation, dry rot, overgrown vegetation etc. Without proper maintenance, even a nice home can become subject to a multitude of problems. Owning a vacant house can be a headache on so many levels.

    So now you’ve decided that the vacant home needs to go, but you don’t want to spend a ton of money out of your pocket. So why not consider a cash sale.
