The Willamette Valley
MORE Realty Al Cronemiller Licenced in the State of Oregon The Willamette Valley When you travel the Willamette valley you will see it’s a pretty big area, after all 70% of Oregon’s population is here. Take that a step further and try to travel around Oregon and see everything, huge chore. You realize how big of a state we have. From a geological standpoint one state is not a very big area, at least when it comes to different kinds of historic events. Back in early history a Lake in Missoula Montana breached when an ice bridge broke and created a flood that headed west through Washington eventually coming down the Columbia River and into the Willamette Valley. This flood pushed topsoil and sediment down the river where much rested in the Willamette Valley. This is one of the reasons the soil is so good here. The Willamette Valley has many main towns and cities in it. South to north there is Eugene, Corvallis, Albany. Lebanon, Salem, Dallas, Woodburn, Wilsonville, Beaverton, Oregon City, Hillsboro, Portland and many more. So much to choose from. Oregon has always been known for its Timber, but with the Willamette Valley and the farm land in central Oregon produce a huge amount of food. Central Oregon is also known for its Alfalfa, watermelons, grass and beef. Oregon has many different eco systems. If you are looking for the beach it is a quick 1.25 hours from Salem. If its central Oregon and the pine timber just hear east 2 hours from Salem to the town of Sisters, OR. The further east you go the dryer it gets. The north end of the valley has a bunch going on, Portland. This area has its share of traffic, high prices, people and all the big city joys you would expect.

Land for sale in Oregon
Land for sale in Oregon There has always been plenty of land for sale in Oregon. Up until about a year and a half ago land had the normal draw, supply and demand, location ect, but things have changed. This all started with the popularity of Oregon in the last 4 or 5 years. The Moving to Oregon craze, the economy and a housing shortage has caused some people to look for land to build on. Land for sale Marion County, Oregon The average size of a lot people are looking for is about ½ acre. How many of those are there? The majority of what you see for sale is lots between 1 and 5 acres. This is great except they are limited. The 5-7,000 city lots are already owned by builders because of there clients wanting homes built. They need the dirt or they are out of business. Land for sale in Oregon I have sold a bunch of land lately from 1 ½ acre commercial in Brooks to 40 acres forest in Colton. My recent sale of 2 two acre lots in Dundee went fast. Having been raised in a family of land surveyors and foresters, everything was about the land, I learned early. I loved wood so much I was a contractor for 30 years. Land is one of my specialties. I have some listed currently around. Creating a value on any property is more an art form than an exact science. there hasn’t been enough sales to help much with land pricing. In many areas around if you have a 1-3-acre building site you can guess it is worth around 175,000 to 250,000 depending on location and beauty. They are all different and in someway connected to past sales in the area. Give me a call or email for my latest list of land in Oregon. al@cronemiller.com, I would love to help. Land in Oregon and especially the Willamette Valley (since 70% of the population is there) is in someway farming land with a mix of forest. In ancient times Lake Missoula in Montana flooded and ran across Washington and down the Columbia river and into the Willamette Valley. This flood moved a huge amount of fertile soil from 2 states away, amazing. Some say that the Willamette valley has up to a mile of top soil in it from thies historic floods. South of Salem we have Jory Hill. Our Jory hill silty clay soil is among the 10 best soils in the world for grapes. The land in Oregon has many uses. We have seen more and more planted in Hazelnuts with Starbucks being a big buyer with Hazelnut flavorings.

Willamette Valley Oregon
The Willamette Valley Back at the end of the last ice age the ice damn broke on Missoula Lake. Located about 68 miles northwest of Missoula, Montana. The flood that ensued swept across Montana, Idaho, into Washington and down the Columbia River. It filled up the Willamette Valley with about a hundred feet of top soil that the flood deposited. Willamette Valley Oregon is an area that goes from Eugene in the south to about thirty miles north of Portland. It stretches from the Coast Range in the west to the Cascade Mountains in the East. The Willamette Valley has about seventy percent of Oregon’s population. Because of the soil deposits, the Willamette Valley is rich with crops. Found here is Jory Silty Clay, one of the top ten soils in the world to grow grapes, as can been seen by all the world renown wineries in the area. The Willamette Valley We have a small town to the west of the Willamette Valley called Dundee. In my opinion this is where the wine industry in Oregon started. Sitting on the foothills of the Coast range and just the right distance from the summit, it gets a measured amount of rain perfect for grapes. Many of the slopes are south or south east, giving the grapes the perfect amount of sun. This area of the Willamette Valley has an area to the west in the Coast range called the Van-Duzer corridor. This dip to the mountains let’s just the perfect amount of cool air from the ocean. This creats the perfect climate for grapes. How anyone ever figured out all this is beyond me. The industry started to grow and soon many realized the Willamette Valley was full of great soils. The soils for grapes and the spread of wineries continues to this day. But that’s not all, the Willamette Valley Oregon grows a wide variety of crops. One the most popular currently is the Hazelnut (Filbert) orchards. With a growing demand for Hazelnut flavorings, with Starbucks being on the top of the list, we have seen many new orchards planted here in the Willamette Valley lately. With the soils being great, beautiful weather and endless things to do it is now wonder the Willamette Valley is so popular. Come visit, I deal with many bare land properties here.

Oregon’s new Senate Bill 608
Eviction Standards Eliminates no-cause eviction standard after the first year of occupancy. o Landlords can continue to evict for a tenant-based cause (current law – i.e., non-payment, violation of the rental agreement, outrageous conduct, etc.). • Adds new landlord-based for-cause reasons to evict a tenant: o Sale to a person who will move in; o Landlord or family member move-in; o Significant repair or renovation of the unit; o Removal of the unit from residential use. • If landlord uses one of these four landlord-based reasons, they must provide the tenant with 90-day notice and relocation expenses in the amount of 1 month’s rent. Exceptions • Small landlords (4 or fewer units) do not have to pay relocation expenses. • Landlords who live on the same property as their tenant (owner occupied, 2 units or less) may still use a nocause eviction at any time. Month-to-Month Tenancies • For the first 12 months of occupancy, a landlord may terminate the tenancy without cause with a 30-day notice. • After the first 12 months of occupancy, a landlord may only evict a tenant for cause, by using an existing tenantbased reason or by using one of the four new landlord-based reasons. Fixed-Term Tenancies • After the first 12 months of occupancy, the fixed-term lease will automatically roll over to month-to-month unless the landlord has a tenant or landlord-based reason to terminate. Exceptions: • A fixed-term lease might not automatically roll over at the end of the fixed term per landlord discretion if the tenant has violated the terms of the rental agreement 3 separate times during a 12-month period, with written warnings for each violation given contemporaneously with the violation. Annual Rent Increase • Landlords may increase rent by no more than 7% + consumer price index in a 12-month period. • Maintains current law regarding rent increases: prohibits rent increases in first year of month-to-month tenancy and requirement that landlords give 90-day notice of rent increases thereafter. Exceptions: • New Construction: A landlord may increase the rent above 7% +CPI in a 12-month period if the certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years ago. • New Tenancy: If the previous tenant vacated the unit voluntarily or their tenancy was otherwise terminated in compliance with other applicable law, the landlord may reset the rent on the new tenancy without limitation. • Subsidized Housing: If the landlord is providing reduced rent to the tenant as part of a federal, state, or local program or subsidy, they are exempt. Enforcement • If a landlord violates the new provisions, they are liable for three months’ rent plus actual damages. 2 SENATE BILL 608 SUMMARY Frequently Asked Questions: SB 608 When will the changes go into effect? Senate Bill 608 has an “emergency clause” and thus becomes effective once signed by Governor Brown. We anticipate this could be as early as March 1, 2019. If I have a transaction that closes after the law goes into effect, can the new owner evict the tenants? Depends. Generally, you may only evict for a tenant cause or a “qualifying reason for termination” under of the enumerated circumstances that the law provides. Once you become an owner of qualifying rental property, you become a “landlord” whose conduct is governed by the bill and you should review both the current law and existing tenant contracts of the property you’re purchasing. However, the law does allow for specific circumstances under which a landlord, including a new landlord, could evict a tenant landlord-based reasons including significant renovations, demolitions, safety, or owner-occupancy. How does this impact closing timelines for rental occupied properties where the new owner will occupy the residence? The closing date in the sale of real property is a construct of contract law between the parties and thus would not be affected by the new law which governs landlord-tenant relations. However, displacing a current tenant (and thus effectuating the intent of new owner who would like to move-in) is another issue (because notwithstanding the transaction between the buyer and the seller, the tenant has their own rights subject to their lease agreement and current law). If the tenant is a week-to-week tenant, or a month-to-month tenant within the first year, you have some flexibility to displace them without cause (so long as you give them the specified amount of notice) and certain circumstances apply. If the current tenant is a month-to-month renter who has been occupying for more than a year or is under a fixed term lease, evicting a tenant is subject to more regulations. Fixed-term leases will always continue, unless there is a tenantbased reason (failure to pay rent) for eviction. On a month-to-month tenancy, 90-days’ notice and the payment of relocation expenses (1-month’s rent) will be required. I heard that the law caps rent increases, but that cities and counties will be able to set high rent caps if they want? There are no exceptions for cities and counties, and therefore the rent increase cap would apply to the entire state equally. Further, any local ordinances that conflict with the statewide cap on rent increases would likely be preempted by the legislature’s acts. We advise seeking legal counsel to determine where estate and local laws may conflict and the potential impact of such a situation. 3 SENATE BILL 608 SUMMARY When it says that it applies to buildings 15 years or older, when does that date start? Is it rolling? The time period is calculated by the difference between when a notice of rent increase is sent out and when a certificate of occupancy was issued for the dwelling unit. Does selling your home count as a for-cause or no-cause eviction? The bill is intended to provided protections for tenants. Thus, if a home owner wishes to sell their home, this law would have no effect on that transaction (which is between the buyer and the seller) unless the rights of a tenant are affected. Fixed-term leases will always continue, unless there is a tenant-based reason (failure to pay rent) for eviction. On a month-to-month tenancy of under a year, a no-cause notice may be issued with 30-days’ notice. On

Moving to Oregon? Check this out!
Moving to Oregon At last count we had about 110 people per day Moving to Oregon in the Portland area alone. When we look at current inventory of the houses for sale in Oregon we notice that Portland has 1.3 months. Salem has about 2.6 months just slightly higher than Portland. What this means is that if no new homes were to get listed , the homes that are currently listed would sell in 1.3 and 2.6 months respectively. This is as low an inventory as we have seen and it increases competition on the Oregon homes for sale to the point they are bid up beyond the amount they will appraise for.

Homes for sale in Oregon Home Buyer Tips The homes for sale in Oregon have been very popular now for a few years. Oregon has been one of the most popular places to move to for a while. it wasn’t any surprise that we would be running out of homes.

Look closely at the homes your agent is sending you and also pay close attention to all the For Sale by Owner listings. Work as a team The FSBO listings are a great resource. Many realtors are not real sure how to work the commission and will steer clear of them. If you can talk the seller into giving you a 2.5 to 3.0 commission you have it whipped. Just have the seller represent himself like he was going to do all along. You will probably have to help him or her a bit with paperwork to keep your files straight. For the most part, if a home that’s for sale is in great shape it will appeal to more people than the ones that are in rougher shape. With that being said, those homes will have more competition. That is the kind of home that will have multiple offers when it comes on the market. Salem Oregon real Estate The homes that have been on the market for a while normally are overpriced.

A good agent will know the value of a home and can determine if it is underpriced or overpriced. If it is underpriced the buyer has the option of submitting an offer over the asking price in hopes of getting your offer accepted over your competition. Sellers Needs Sellers, when trying to pick a buyer will be looking at the offer price, terms, concessions, loan type, closing date and the buyer’s pre-approval status. This is why you want your offer as clean as possible. The type of loan will also have a bearing on acceptance.
