The market days often coincide with many local events such as track and field, University of Oregon football games, Oregon Country Fair and the Art and The Vineyard festival. The market features local artisans, international food booths, live music, and locally grown plant starts and flowers from the Lane County Farmers’ Market just across the street.

The Eugene Saturday Market has been actively attended in the community since the 1970s. So, if you enjoy craft products, terrific produce, and great food, this event (which epitomizes much of Eugene’s inner personality) is a sure thing!

Lane County Farmers Market Is a healthy diet on your list? If not yet, now’s the time! More than 85 farmers and local food artisans gather in downtown Eugene at the heart of Lane County for the Farmer’s Market.

The market provides a variety of fresh Oregon-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, plants, and animal products. Customers buy directly from local farmers, and products vary throughout the season according to availability. Also sold are jams, jellies, salsas, ciders, beer, honey, hazelnuts, eggs, meat, fish, cut flowers, pasta, baked goods and other prepared foods that utilize local farmers’ products. Market supplies are available almost the whole year ‘round.

The Oregon Truffle Festival Truffle lovers around the globe enjoy this three-day festival in and around Eugene, Oregon. Held once a year at various locations throughout Eugene, visitors enjoy exploring and learning about truffles from in-and-around Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

Our valley is known to have optimum conditions to grow truffles correctly, which is why this event has gained so much popularity over the years. One of the festival’s highlights is the signature Saturday-night Grand Truffle Dinner, where guests can savor a variety of native winter truffles during a luxurious six-course meal paired with magnificent Oregon libations.

Moving to Eugene, Oregon: Pros and Cons

Things to know before moving to Eugene, Oregon.

Let’s begin with a couple of cons of moving to Eugene, Oregon. To begin with, we cannot offer you traffic.
If you’re into long lines on the highways and lengthy commutes, we might not be the city for you. Hell, we can hardly offer you roads. I mean, sure – we have Interstate 5 connecting us to the swanky, culture-filled Portland up north and Ashland with it’s amazing Shakespeare Festival down south (read: close but not too close) – but otherwise we’re mostly just streets.

We do have one highway to the beautiful Oregon coast and another two up into the Cascade Mountain Range where – no matter how much it hurts, – you’ll drive to mountain-biking, hiking, skiing and snowboarding in a short, convenient amount of time with no delays. So, if you like the “stop-and-go, stop-and-go” commute, best keep looking. If you need to drive more than 20 minutes to get anywhere and everywhere, maybe pick another spot on the map and be on your way.

Next – now I’m getting embarrassed – another thing we lack in Eugene is crowds.

Do you enjoy being elbow-to-elbow when you least expect it? I … guess we don’t really have that. I suppose you could find yourself a huge Eugene crowd if you enjoy things like watching the nationally-renowned Oregon Duck football team stomp our rivals the Beavers, or even better yet catching Sabrina Ionescu – the best female basketball player ever on planet Earth – hoop for the Duck women’s basketball team.

And furthermore, come to think of it, you could surround yourself with an overwhelmingly loud crowd if you made the right decision and ended up at the Olympic track trials or the Prefontaine Classic, hosted at our new state-of-the-art Hayward Field. Or, if you got a wild hair and squeezed in Seinfeld at the Hult Center. Or enjoyed the Talking Heads’, David Bryne. Or caught Cirque du Soleil on an odd Friday. Or Ani DiFranco or Trevor Noah. These are just examples of how in a town our gentle size you can’t have everything like crowds and traffic everywhere just ‘cause you want ‘em. Not in the parks, not in the restaurants, however maybe if you want national acts.

What it’s like living in Eugene, Oregon?

Now, it’s not all bad here. One pro is that Eugene has a lot of names. All in the same breath you might hear Eugene called “The Emerald City,” “The Silicon Shire” or “Track Town USA.” I suppose one came from our breathtaking surroundings, the other from our burgeoning tech-community and the last from Phil Knight and the origins of the Nike shoe company. If you want to be a part of the Emerald City, you can use us as a base for just about every type of outdoor activity. Bird-watch, bike alongside a giant waterfall or hike forested paths of every ability level.

If Silicon Shire is more your speed, come to develop software; you’ll be in good company from gaming to communications and marketing. And finally, if it’s Track Town USA that calls to you, lace up your runners and don’t make me feel guilty for not joining you on a three-to-five miler through one of our many maintained trail systems.
But it’s not all roses and rhododendrons (though our Hendrik’s Park has an amazing Rhodie garden). Another “con” is that we’re known as a craft-beer mecca.

Eugene and its surrounding areas offer a home to an amazing variety of unique beer and high-quality wine producers, and this creates a selection issue: it’s hard to choose what to consume. I don’t always feel comfortable having to choose between a hazelnut porter, a sour ale or a lambic. Should I enjoy our now world-famous pinot noir, or give a chance to some underdog like a malbec or syrah? I just … don’t … know. Heaven forbid we take a winery-tour through the gorgeous Lorane Valley. Let me pack the Prozac.

A related “pro” – if you could call it that – that augments issues of gustatory indecision, is that Eugene’s surrounding pastoral topography aids our thriving beverage industry by producing quality hops and offering clean water, allowing microbrewery businesses to begin their recipes with the highest-quality ingredients.

And furthermore (can you say “con”?), what happens when the amazing farms surrounding Eugene fill our restaurants with organic everything? When master farmers have farm-to-table relationships with intrepid and creative culinary experts?

The resulting number of mouth-watering dishes available hither and yon throughout Eugene’s burgeoning restaurant scene is enough to cause the need to think up another name for Eugene! Something silly that comes after Track Town. Snack Town? And it’s enough to send couples into spirals when we sit salivating in our driveway vehicles, asking one another though hungry eyes whether we should get dreamy, steam-bun chicken tacos, no, foie-de-gras pop tarts, no, schnitzel with spaetzle, no – you decide I’m too hungry to choose and you need to start putting your shoes away when you come home!

Eugene Rental Properties: How important are your pets? Is it time to buy?

Landlords enjoy the happy position of receiving rents from excellent tenants, even as they build equity in their rental properties. Maybe you’re the tenant, maybe you’re the landlord, but one thing for sure is that you’re both concerned with the topic of allowing or restricting pets. You can’t blame Eugene rental owners if they don’t allow dogs in their properties, and they can’t complain if they miss out on an opportunity to rent to a responsible pet owner.

A primary need for Eugene rental home success is keeping a low vacancy rate. In today’s housing market, vacancies tend to be a rare occurrence. However, when the tenant moves out, landlords can be faced with large expenses they hope to avoid. Sometimes these costs of cleaning a rental prior to re-marketing it will change a landlord from a happy, pet-friendly one to a sour, pet-averse homeowner.

The American Pet Products Association (APPA) mentioned in 2012 that 39% of U.S. families have at least one dog and that 33% have at least one cat (there’s ample evidence that it’s the cats who own the homes, but that’s another issue).

In their “Animal House 2017” survey dealing with remodeling, the National Association of Realtors® found that 81% of respondents say that animal-related considerations play a role when “deciding on their next living situation.”

Eighty-one percent!!! That’s 4 out of 5! It’s doubtful Eugene rental properties even come close to meeting that kind of need. However, the landlords who choose a “no pets” strategy to protect their properties are often still in good shape due to the low inventory of central rental homes. So even though 89% of people who own a pet said they wouldn’t consider giving up their animals due to housing restrictions, landlords may not currently be changing their allowances to court those lost occupants.

With that issue in mind, the pro-animal sector is still ready, willing and able to produce studies and statistics aimed at publicizing the financial benefits for landlords of pets-allowed rental houses. The Petfinder is a website with that very inclination. Petfinder estimated that tenants in pet-friendly houses remain in place more than twice as long as renters staying at exclusively pet-free rentals.

If you are an investor considering the opportunity of owning one of Eugene’s rental homes, whether it is pet-friendly or not – low vacancy rates seem to support your consideration of a purchase. If we believe what we read, this is a win-win. Extra-low vacancy rates if you’re inclined to allow pets, a low inventory of central rental houses even if you’re not. and if you’re a tenant tired of spending money on someone else’s home, searching long hours for a pet-friendly rental, know that Eugene’s real estate market isn’t slowing down. Why not give me a call? 541-514-4567

Eugene, Oregon, A Great City for the Arts and Outdoor Enthusiasts

Eugene is a city located in the south end of Willamette Valley, between two small buttes, and besides the scenic Willamette River. Eugene F. Skinner, an early American settler, established a land claim on Skinner Butte in 1846. However, his town plans were thwarted due to heavy rains, which earned his venture the nickname “Skinner’s Mudhole.” Regardless, Skinner believed in the viability of the area and pursued community building. He then ran a ferry service across the Willamette River and served as postmaster.

Eugene, Oregon at Night

Some of the first thriving industries in Eugene included agriculture, forest products, and mining. Eugene City was founded in 1853 and was incorporated in 1862.

Eugene is a community of sports enthusiasts, is known as “Track Town USA” and has produced many great Olympic runners. We’re known for the famous Nike athletic company, and several landmark sports venues are well known for regional and national sporting events.

The education system in Eugene is also one of our city’s strengths. As a robust college town, we proudly host higher learning institutions such as the University of Oregon and Lane Community College. Eugene is also home to the globally-known football team the Oregon Ducks, based out of state-of-the-art Autzen Stadium.

When it comes to food, Eugene is abundant in locally-grown food products. From small farms and community gardens to different food distributors and restaurants, Eugeneans enjoy fresh products such as yogurt, cheese, chocolate and coffee, fresh vegetables of every kind as well as hormone-free, organic meats. The quality of dining in Eugene can be described as varied and superb.

Geographically speaking, Eugene’s location provides access to stunning scenery and abundant outdoor adventures, making Eugene enjoyable for residents and visitors. Eugene is surrounded by rolling wine country, agricultural lands and lush green forests. Additionally, beautiful sandy beaches and dramatic coastal vistas are just an hour west, while the snow-capped Cascades, featuring skiing, sledding, snowboarding, snowshoeing and more (such as hot-springs!) are just a short drive east.

Eugene outdoor

Lastly, Eugene has a fantastic craft-beer scene. With quality hops coming from the Willamette Valley and a city of eclectic and creative enthusiasts and professionals, it’s no surprise some of our nation’s top brews are originating here. Among the top breweries in Eugene are Ninkasi Brewing, Falling Sky Brewing House & Gastropub, Oakshire Brewing, and Hop Valley Brewing.

With everything that can be found and done in our emerald city, it only proves that Eugene is truly… “A Great City for the Arts and Outdoors”.

Best Time to Sell Your House in Eugene, Oregon: Are you Ready?

It’s no doubt every homeowner in the Eugene area looks for ways to make their lifestyle better. Move up in the world, provide for the family, enjoy what life has to offer. Whether there are financial influences, an understanding of market conditions or a desire for proximity to favorite amenities, selling a home and finding a new one might be the correct option for you. If that’s on your mind, then the question, “How do I know if I’m really ready to sell my home?” can come next. According to experts, here are some of the most important factors indicating that you’re ready to sell your home, AND some concepts to consider when you are:

Are You Planning to Sell Your House in Eugene, Oregon?

 

1. You’ve got enough equity.

Among all other factors, having enough equity is a very important one. For most of us homeowners, equity in our primary residence is our most valuable asset. With enough equity, you have the flexibility to consider a move, be it lateral and geographical – or into a more expensive property that has just what you want.

The more equity you have, the better. According to The Balance, home equity is “an asset that comes from a homeowner’s interest in a home.” In other words, it is the property’s market value minus any liens attached to it. If you bought a home for $300,000 and owe $200,000 on your loan, your home equity is $100,000. [i]

As the property’s market value increases or the loan balance is paid down, home equity increases.

So how to determine if your equity’s sufficient? One of the simplest ways to think about it is this: If you already have enough equity to pay off your current mortgage with enough left over to make a 20-percent down payment on a new home and cover out-of-pocket closing costs, then it’s about time to sell your home. [ii] To say that it’s “about time” is a bit simplistic, but what this does is allow you to make a large-enough down-payment on a new home in such a way that you won’t be required to pay mortgage insurance. A 20-percent down payment is a milestone commonly considered sufficient – helpful to buyers and well though-of by sellers in competitive situations.

2. You’ve outgrown your home or are ready to downsize.

If you’re blessed with circumstances such as expecting a child, family members moving out, or having to take care of aging parents, then you might find yourself hoping for a new home. Ask yourself the question, “Does our home still fit our basic needs?” For a couple expecting a child, will the home be a safe and comfortable environment for the newborn and parents? If you have kids moving out, do you think the extra space in your home will still be necessary? If taking care of aging parents, are the household conditions still elderly-friendly? If the answers to your best-fitting question are no, then your home no longer suits your needs and selling your home might be the best solution.

3. You understand the market and you know your market.

The housing market performance has always been unpredictable. However, the National Association of Realtors expected that existing homes would have a modest growth in 2018, which they did. At present, home sales are expected to grow around 7 percent, with a 5 percent increase in the median price. [iii] By paying attention to trends and reported statistics, you might find yourself understanding that it’s a good year to consider a transition into a larger or a smaller home. An experienced Realtor can also help you with this understanding of market conditions.

4. You are financially capable.

All the other factors previously mentioned are very important in considering whether you’re ready to sell your home or not. However, if you’re not financially capable or you don’t have the money to pay for unanticipated costs, you’re not ready to sell your home.

Sellers often assume that buyers are the only ones making the commitment. Although financial responsibility for sellers during the transaction may not be as large of that of buyers, there are still costs. Once you’ve decided to sell your property, make sure you have the ability to make certain payments along the way. Set aside an amount of money for any necessary repairs that may take place after inspections and negotiations.

You should also leave a lump sum for moving expenses and closing costs. Upon selling your home, prepare to pay a commission (typically 5 percent to 6 percent of the home’s sale price) to the real estate agent working for you. Your agent splits that commission with the buyer’s agent. Beyond commissions consider moving costs and other unexpected expenses. Some sources have suggested that you set aside about 10 percent of your home’s market cost to pay for all the costs involved in home-selling – commissions, moving and others – that could follow. [viii]

5. You’re ready to break emotional attachments.

When you’ve lived a part of or all of your life in your home, it’s likely that you’ve developed emotional attachments – and those are not always easy to break. Although it’s human nature to become attached to your home, one sign of being ready to sell is if you can stomach the change. If you’re truly ready, you’ll be able to rationalize and leave behind any nostalgic associations you have with your home.

If you can confirm with these important factors, it is a strong indication that you’re ready to sell your home.

MARKET-ANGLES

Renting Exodus Meets Rising Values

Across the country, a huge number of renters are in search of a home to buy, given that rents are up and mortgage rates are down. However, the difficulty in finding homes for sale within their price-range remains.

According to CNBC, the shortage of low-priced or affordable homes continues. Homes priced $250,000 or less have decreased over time while the inventories of homes belonging to the million-dollar range are slightly increasing. [iv]

According to the data given by Trulia [v], homes with starter prices have increased in price by nearly 10 percent since the first quarter of 2017 to the first quarter of 2018. In addition, there has also been a decrease in the available inventory of starter homes over year, causing a 14.2 percent drop in sales. [vi]

The abundance of Home-Buyers in your Market

There are several factors that should be considered when determining the number of buyers that could be interested in purchasing your home. A number of sources have proven that more people buy homes during spring and summer seasons compared to fall and winter. Warm weather creates a curb-appeal for your home, which makes a great impression to potential buyers, making them want to view the home’s interior. [vii]

It’s important to monitor other homes in your area to understand how a certain number of potential buyers could be interested in your property. This is another job Realtors do well. Assess how much these homes cost and compare them to the amount you’re planning to sell your home for. You can decide whether to sell your home or not during that time depending on the data and information you’ve accumulated. Will we undercut the competition in order to go pending, as long as that price doesn’t leave much money on the table? Or will we price above the rest, knowing that our product is superior and will still garner attention? Again, your Realtor (call InEugene Real Estate) can be an excellent guide.

Who Cares About You

We care for and understand your motivations. We know your home is your sanctuary, your base, and we respect the different sanctuary you’re looking for in a home. Let us provide you with the top-notch real estate representation to help you buy or sell your Eugene property and home. Here’s a list of our friendly and knowledgeable Oregon licensed real estate agents.

Ben Fogelson – Principal Broker/Owner

“I’ve helped dozens upon dozens of Eugene buyers and sellers make their real estate transitions safely and successfully. From the initial visit and preparations, to offer analysis and negotiation, to closing and transfer of keys, I’m there with you every step of the way. I listen to what you need and how you work, and I create a working relationship tailored to you.

I have heaps of professional and personal experience with single-family and multi-family ownership and transactions, commercial purchases, sales, and leases, from restaurants to warehouses and manufacturing. I stay up-to-date with residential and commercial classwork, able to consult on the latest legislation for rental-owners and developers alike.

I created InEugene Real Estate to serve clients and help agents become better versions of themselves.
We’re all in this together. Please give me a call.”

Neil Mark Harvey – Principal Broker

“My association with Eugene is a decade long, and I cannot now imagine living anywhere else. My reasons are those that I hear so often from others who live here – the fantastic sense of community, having nature (whether that be a beach, mountain, or forest) seemingly on my doorstep, the walkability of the city and the perfect pace of life.

I grew up in Wiltshire in rural England, not far from Bath and Stonehenge, and spent many days as a teenager on construction sites with my father, who was a contractor. I have had a fascination with the construction of homes, and with domestic architecture, ever since.”

John Davis – Agent

“I am fortunate that Eugene has been my home since 1973. At that time, I lived near Laurelwood Golf Course, and today I find myself living next to the 4th tee, one of my favorite places in Eugene.

I attended South Eugene High School until 1986 and went on to graduate from UCLA with a degree in literature. I care about our community, and I give back by assisting the Springfield Public Library Foundation and serving on Springfield Rotary.”

Amy Sheppard – Agent

“I adore Eugene! My enthusiasm for this city, its colorful neighborhoods, and people makes me not merely a Realtor, but your knowledgeable guide. Choosing a home amounts to more than safety, good light, and square footage. It’s about discovering a place to dream, create and integrate your family into the community.”

JC Lee – Agent

“I have two strong passions in my life: Great homes and delicious food. I’ve been blessed to enjoy my passions via a career as a restauranteur, bringing authentic Korean food to downtown Eugene. From my position as a restaurant owner, I serve many clients looking for new homes and commercial opportunities in Eugene.”

Meet Chad Hodgert – Agent

“I am a person who loves moving. There’s something about the excitement of finding that perfect home or moving to a new city full of adventure that lights me up. I understand the process can be stressful, and that there are lots of questions and unknowns.

I look forward to helping you enjoy this big change in your life as much as I do. I consider your dreams and goals, helping you discover what your perfect home should feel like. Finding a perfect match is what I do for every unique client. I pride myself on tailoring my advocacy to fit your lifestyle and needs. My goal is to make sure you are taken care of and look back on this experience with great memories.”
