Procession of the Species 2013 in Olympia - A Local Favorite!!

Nancy Conner - Olympia/Thurston County WA (Managing Broker - City Realty Inc) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:43:44 -0700

The annual Procession of the Species in Olympia is one of those very unique community events that makes me LOVE living here! This year's procession is tomorrow, Saturday, April 27th at 4:30 PM in downtown Olympia. And if you have never attended this event, you are in for a treat!

There will be plenty of sidewalk chalk for the crowd of onlookers to entertain themselves with their own street artwork while waiting for the parade to begin. And I say from experience that this chalk drawing is pretty irresistible, so just know if you think you are going to watch the children draw, next thing you know you will be on your hands and knees creating your own chalk masterpiece.

The Procession of the Species is a tribute to and celebration of our natural world, and the imagination and creativity of the participants always amazes me. I remember "trees" on stilts, bumblebees on bikes, huge spiders, dandelions on parade, giant orca whales and so many more favorites from past years.

Do NOT miss this year's Procession of the Species if you are going to be anywhere near Olympia tomorrow! Pictures don't do it justice, and words can't begin to capture what fun this event is - so just be there and see for yourself!

There will be 2 hunts for the dogs and one for kids, plus agility demos, best trick contest and lots more! This event will be at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey (see address above).

Invest With the End In Mind - Tips for Olympia Area Real Estate Investors

Nancy Conner - Olympia/Thurston County WA (Managing Broker - City Realty Inc) — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:05:47 -0800

There are plenty of stories about how investing in real estate made someone rich. And some of those stories talk about getting rich FAST from investing in real estate. Pretty enticing to think there's an easy way to get rich fast, right? And here's the deal: people DO build wealth by buying real estate. But that most often happens when the investor has thought long and hard about their goals and strategies, and then buys in line with their plan. They invest with the end in mind.

Some investors buy homes to hold as rentals. And this can be an excellent strategy to create an income stream now, and eventually some lump sum profit as these rental properties are sold. So what should an investor consider before buying?

Well, in most cases the investor is hoping to have some positive cash flow from the rental property. This means doing a careful analysis of the home's initial value so you don't overpay. It means checking the condition carefully to understand what big ticket items must be budgeted for (roof, furnace, exterior paint etc.). It means researching how much similar home are renting for, and what the typical vacancy rate is. It means deciding if you have the time, expertise, and willingness to manage the rental home yourself vs hiring a property manager to deal with advertising, showing and screening prospective tenants, preparing rental agreements, collecting rents, and fielding the Sunday night call that the tenant has no heat.

Once all of these things have been dealt with, there's one more consideration that can help or hinder your long term success. Will the house you choose to buy be one that will be relatively easy to resell when you someday want to or need to? Predicting that is not an exact science by any means, but with the help of an experienced local real estate broker, you'll have a good idea of how similar homes in that location have done over time.

Some investors decide that their goal is not to hold the property long term for monthly income and hopefully long term appreciation. They prefer to try to "fix and flip". This is a much trickier proposition, and is where many would be investors find that instead of getting rich quick, they've gone through WAY more money than they expected. What makes this so tricky?

Well, in many local markets, although real estate is on the recovery upswing, expecting to buy, make some minor cosmetic improvements and then resell for a profit is just NOT realistic. Many of the most affordable buys need considerably more than just new carpet and paint. If the investor ends up hiring contractors, the dollar signs start clicking up really, really quickly. And when the house is resold, there are closing costs that the investor, now seller, must pay.

So the successful "flippers" I've worked with are those who start with the end point in mind. For example, if we spot a house listed for $125,000 that, after renovation, should sell for $200,000, that's only part of the equation. Cost of renovation needs to be calculated as closely as possible (leaving room for the inevitable surprises along the way). Closing costs for the purchase, holding costs for the money borrowed, and closing costs on the selling end get totaled up next. If the $125,000 purchase includes, $5,000 in buyer closing costs, $10,000 in holding costs, $35,000 in renovation expense, and $16,000 in selling costs, now the "after" price of $200,000 yields only $9,000 in profit.

Not a bad profit of course, but you can see that there's not a lot of room for miscalculations along the way. What if the time needed to renovate, resell and close means carrying costs jump to $18,000 and an unexpected additional repair adds $5,000 there. Hmmmm, that potential $9,000 profit just turned into a $4,000 loss! Now that's NOT what any investor has in mind!

So the key to being a successful Olympia area real estate investor - and hopefully making some money, too - is to invest with the end in mind!

Extra Tiny to Super Sized Homes - What's For Sale in Olympia Area!

Nancy Conner - Olympia/Thurston County WA (Managing Broker - City Realty Inc) — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:20:05 -0800

Are you curious about homes on the market in the Olympia area that are either extra tiny or super sized large? Neither extreme is one that I end up searching for frequently (as in I can't even remember the last time). When I am helping buyers hunt for homes to buy in the Olympia area, size IS almost always among the criteria we use in the search. It's not at all unusual to have buyers searching for a home somewhere between 900 and 1500 square feet. And many times I have clients looking for a home between 1600 and 2500 square feet. Looking for homes up to 3500-4000 square feet isn't really unusual either.

But, just for fun, I took a look to see what is on the market at the size extremes. Here's what I found:

Extra tiny homes:

Lake front home - 384 square feet - listed at $111,000

Saltwater front home - 583 square feet - listed at $219,900

Saltwater cabin - 540 square feet - listed at $425,000

River view cabin - 200 square feet - listed at $65,000

Lake view cabin - 352 square feet - listed at $205,000

Yes, there is most definitely a theme going on there - water front (or view with access) can make a very small footprint still an ideal place for a vacation getaway or second home - or maybe year round living (?).

Supersized large homes:

Lake view home on 9+ acres - 7739 square feet - listed at $409,900

Saltwater front home on 22+ acres - 14,025 square feet - listed at $1,215,000

Another saltwater front home - 13,335 square feet - listed at $6,088,800

Home in gated golf community - 6672 square feet - listed at $429,950

Bay and mountain view home - 7145 square feet - listed at $1,250,000

Still a trend of water frontage or view, or other site amenities in addition to the really big size home.

So, what would attract you? A tiny cabin or cottage on the water? A home WAY bigger than average?

Or if you are just hoping to buy an Olympia area home in the "average" size range and need some help, give me a call!

So You Want To Buy A Foreclosure House in Olympia - Here's What To Know

Nancy Conner - Olympia/Thurston County WA (Managing Broker - City Realty Inc) — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:10:43 -0800

Are you like many buyers who have heard that buying a foreclosure property can be a way to get a REALLY good deal on a home purchase? Are you considering shopping for a foreclosure house in the Olympia area? There are several things to know right up front to avoid unpleasant surprises.

An Olympia area foreclosure house may now be owned by the bank that previously held the loan on the home. Or it may now be owned by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD or VA who had insured the loan previously held on the home. Pretty much each one has their own distinct process that the buyer will have to comply with in order to buy the house.

Some, such as HUD and Fannie Mae, mark some of their homes as available initially for bids only from buyers intending to make it their primary residence. And if that is not truly your intent, know that you will be signing an affidavit saying that you WILL occupy - do NOT plan on lying about this!

Some of these sellers will allow your offer to be done using electronic signatures, some require actual signatures, some require original "wet" signatures using blue ink. Some have an online bid process. Some require your agent to be registered to make an offer for you.

You will need to be prepared to provide a preapproval letter or proof of funds if you are paying cash. Your offer will likely not even be accepted or reviewed without this.

Few of them (if any) will respond to offers in the evening, on the weekends or on a holiday - and may take several days to respond, despite whatever deadline you give them in your offer.

All of these sellers are likely to have bank addendums or their own forms that you will be required to sign (and which typically are NOT written with your protection in mind). These will typically supersede some of the language and provisions in the purchase and sale paperwork your agent will prepare for you. Consider having an attorney review to advise you what rights you may be giving up.

All of them will typically require you to use the title and escrow company they choose - and very often the escrow company will not be located where you (and the property) are located. Many of these companies are very competent and will get the job done, but their location may cause additional time for overnighting things back and forth, or extra fees for same.

Be sure you understand the different types of title insurance available and make sure you will be getting one that protects you well from post closing title issues (even if you have to pay more yourself for this coverage).

Most of these sellers will not fill out the Washington state mandated seller's disclosure or will give you one with every question marked "I don't know". And of course, they have never lived in the property, so truly do have limited knowledge compared to many sellers. They are not exempt in Washington from being required to provide the disclosure, but likely will not provide it anyway - so know what it is that you are NOT getting).

An Olympia area foreclosure house has likely been sitting vacant for quite some time, and may have had minimal maintenance prior to the foreclosure. It may have damage caused by sitting vacant, or vandalism, or the intrusion of pests. And be sure to do a final walk thru with your agent right before closing to make sure no NEW damage has occurred. Vacant bank owned properties are a magnet for people intent on stripping anything of value out - including copper piping.

A thorough home inspection is a crucial thing since you will likely be buying "as is" - but some sellers may require you to pay for utilities to be turned back on or to dewinterize the home. Even with utilities turned back on, there may be some consequences of sitting vacant that will not show up during the inspection - but will once the house is back to being occupied with normal water usage and such.

As mentioned, the expectation will be that you agree to buy the house "as is" - once in a while you can negotiate for some repairs to be covered, but do NOT count on it! So be certain you understand and can accept the condition of the house. This includes understanding and accepting what it will cost YOU to have needed repairs done after closing.

The closing process almost always takes more time than a "normal" resale, and if any delay happens on your end, due to financing or other reasons, you may be required to pay for an extension of time.

Because of the likely less than perfect condition of many foreclosure houses, they may look like a good deal - right up until you calculate in the costs to repair and update as needed. (With a cushion of money available for what you DON'T know about until later....)

So guess what? An Olympia area foreclosure house MAY be your dream house. If you have an experienced real estate agent helping you, and if you go into the process understanding and accepting that this kind of sale is just not the same as buying from Jane and John Doe, then your home buying adventure can have a very happy ending. And a foreclosure house can have a brand new proud owner ready to love it again!

Let me know if you have more questions about buying Olympia area foreclosure homes!

Ten Reasons to Get Preapproved BEFORE You Look at Olympia Area Homes

Nancy Conner - Olympia/Thurston County WA (Managing Broker - City Realty Inc) — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:53:28 -0800

When you decide to buy a house in the Olympia area, it is a very exciting feeling - and tempting to jump right into the house hunt process full blast and go look at some houses. But first, it is important to get preapproved if you will be borrowing money to buy that dream house. Really, really important. And here are 10 reasons why I say that:

1. Lenders are requiring more and more documentation of your income and debt. It can take a little time to gather the necessary info and you do NOT want to be scrambling to start doing that when you find the house you want to buy.

2. Credit reports often contain errors. Sometimes these errors are very quick and simple to clear up, but sometimes it can take some time to take care of misinformation that appears. And sometimes it isn't an error, but something you do owe that needs to be taken care of.

3. How will you know what price bracket to look at unless you know how much money you can borrow?

4. How will you analyze your budget to make sure of your comfort zone until you know what monthly payment you would have at the price point of house you think you want?

5. How will you know how much cash you will need at closing until you see what down payment is going to be required of you by the lender, and what the closing costs will be?

6. How will you know what type of loan you will qualify for (and that fits your needs the best) until you chat with an experienced lender?

7. How will you know how to narrow your home search and structure your offer based on your financing - until you know what that financing is? Your real estate agent will need to know the type of loan you are getting, the price you are approved for, and whether you need/want the seller to help pay your closing costs in order to know what houses will match your financing type, and how best to write an offer for you when you find "the one".

8. If you want to buy a bank owned home or a short sale, your offer will likely not even be considered without a preapproval letter accompanying it.

9. If you find that the house you want has other buyers also making offers, a preapproval letter is a must to have a chance to "win" with the seller.

10. Once you have this necessary step out of the way, you can relax and concentrate on finding the right house, knowing you have your ducks in a row and are ready to BUY!
