Nice small home in Talent that has had mechanical upgrades. In the middle 1990’s: double pane windows, roof, new siding, kitchen cabinets. 2008 new HVAC system and gutters.

Single car garage but could park two normal sized cars end-to-end. RV dump and hookups on the west driveway area. Great back yard. Very private with an enormous beautiful old tree for shade.

First time on the market since the 1970’s. Lots of character, French doors in living room, wood floors. There is a second toilet and shower but the sink has not been hooked up so it is being called a one bathroom at this time.

The two building sites here are located with end-of-the-road privacy as the biggest selling point! Located on a county maintained road for good year-round driving conditions these two adjacent properties are the perfect get-away place.

Both properties have a homesite and septic approval in place. The owner is a geologist and would be happy to work with the future buyer on where to best locate a well.

Both properties have homesites that sit well up above the road for a nice view of the heavily timbered mountains surround the area. There are hiking trails all around and the Little Applegate River runs through the foot of the property.

Although there is no place to build along the river banks you can enjoy fishing and summer picnics down by the water during the summer.

Both properties have been surveyed and the seller is ready to sell! Buy one or both parcels for a package deal!

10628 Little Applegate Road is 10.65 acres and is offered at $121,000.
10254 Little Applegate road is 6.45 acres and is offered at $99,000.

These properties are not considered ‘horse property’ but are more for a secluded homesite away from it all.

The property does not have a for sale sign on it so the listing agent needs to be present to show it fully. Great spot for recreation. Hunting, fishing, and hiking!

The main house is addressed as 734 Palm St. It is a three bedroom, one bath and the second unit is a one bedroom, one bath. They are both metered separately for all utilities so it would be easy to rent one and live in the other. The second unit is addressed as 342 Summit Avenue.

The total square footage is 1966 with the front unit having 1196 sq ft and the second unit being 800 sq ft. There is a two-car garage that is detached from both units and a great fenced backyard that is shared. Each unit has it’s own entry for total privacy.

The front unit has a nice living room and dining area, country kitchen, indoor laundry room and three bedrooms. It is heated and cooled by a heat pump and there is also a pellet stove. The second unit has a large bedroom and bathroom, a small kitchen, living room/dining room and indoor laundry area.

Both units are rented at this time and the tenants would like to stay. Both units are rented for $600 per month. The front unit is approximately $100-150 under market rent and the tenant does the yard work in exchange for the extra rent.

The property has been used throughout the life of it in many different ways. At one time the seller lived in the smaller unit and her daughter and family lived in the larger unit. Then the seller lived in the larger unit and rented the smaller unit to offset her house payments and finally both units are rented at this time. It would also work well if someone wanted to have a home office that needed to have a separate space. The possibilities are endless!

The past two years have shown weak growth in the economy. Although there has been population growth there has been no housing demand growth. Builders incomes have dropped 70-90% and have been constrained by the lack of construction loans. Yun stated that is possible that in 2-3 years there will be a housing shortage due to the lack of new construction. He did state that housing starts are stable; but at a very low level.

According to Yun economists think that the recession ended last summer as we as a nation are beginning to produce more goods. The first signs of new jobs being created are out there. It will likely take more than 4 years to regain the 8 million jobs lost and from 6-8 years for us to recover from this recession. With the over-correction that took place on housing prices it has created a negative psychology among the people. He stated that this over-correction needs to be halted so the collateral damage of negative emotions is stopped. Only then will people begin to jump back into the market. As a rule, people don’t buy homes with cash. Rock bottom interest rates along with rock bottom pricing indicates an over-correction. The economic trenders, Case-Shiller data shows that we are currently at the zero line having returned to ‘normal circumstances’ regarding home
prices and the ability to buy homes by those that live in the area.

Medford has had 10 straight years of job losses while Washington DC has had the same number of years of job growth….likely driven by government jobs he said. He stated that to keep foreign investors confident in our growth we need to have a credible plan to reduce the debt. If they lose their belief in us, rates will likely rise to between 7-9%. The government is trying to chip away at some of our tax deductions for home ownership such as mortgage interest and property tax deductions and having a capital gains tax for all sales. The National Association of Realtors are fighting these on your behalf. It is a proven fact that homeowners perform better in social
standards such as test scores,, juvenile delinquency and other standards. Artificially boosting the ability to be a homeowner is what created the housing bubble that eventually sunk the economy. Yun predicts that the mortgage rates will rise to approximately 6% at about this time next year.

The commercial real estate market follows the housing market by 12-18 months. This market is following the same bubble even though the bubble was not driven by  sub-prime loans. At this time since the loans are not government backed the now-profitable banks don’t want to let go of the money for commercial loans. Look for foreclosures and great prices on commercial sales and leases in the next few years. Fannie Mae has played a huge roll in keeping the interest rate low on home loans. They created a hedge fund that bet on the rise of the housing market which increased their profits. When the housing market crashed, the public took the hit.
NAR is advocating in Washington DC that Fannie Mae would never be allowed to do this again. Take the profits and ask the public to pay for them.

To sum it up Yun said that the increase in stock market activity was indicative of economic action by the wealthy where economists watching the housing market to take the pulse of the middle class. He was cautiously hopeful although the going is much slower than normal in a recovery. Be on the watch for political moves that take away the tax credits for homeowners.
