Thinking BIG? Rare, flat, and close to town is this Agricultural 105 acres on the COI canal with 36 acres of water. suitable for horses, cattle, farm use, or???

 Buildings include home with garage, 100' x 50' metal barn near the road with electricity and 2 accesses in front and back suitable for a tour bus or two ! along with another 100' x 40' spud barn near the back of the property, both with high clearance.  Corrals, stables, old wooden structures of barnwood good for reclaiming (?) This 50's built 3 bedroom/ 2 bath, 2 car garage has updated kitchen with farm sink, cabinets + self-closing drawers, large living room with oak floors and wood burning fireplace with captivating Mt. Jefferson view. It's a sleeper from the road and sets at the top of this gentle knoll in an area of upscale, pricey estates nearby.  These properties were once part of 500 acres but the developer 

kept this gem for himself and it's the best.  Far reaching views to up north as well as the Cascades along with Faith, Hope & Charity, Mt. Bachelor and more....

Easy to drive through the property.  Call first before going to look and follow me on in. 541-771-8947






 


Check out a no money down loan. It's called a USDA loan. It may take a little longer than most to close and with lots of paperwork but it's worth it. Call me for more info 541-771-8947

Want to save money filling out your own legal documents? Think twice and as the old adage denotes:

 Measure twice, cut once.  The same goes for legal documents I.e.  deeds, deeds of trust, QUIT CLAIM DEEDS!!   How many times have I seen this go awry.  At least get the help from a title company if you can't afford a real estate attorney (though I think you should!)  AND get title insurance for transactions !

I once bought an unbuildable piece of land adjoining my house and property and the names were Mr. & Mrs. Doe and Mr. Doe was actually signed by the son.  Not the original owner.  Mr. Doe was deceased.  Thankfully I had bought title insurance.

I went to the Assessor's office today with a question and found out that a Tax ID number(always 13 digits here in Deschutes County) doesn't work for a legal description.  You may be paying taxes on it forever, but you  will need a legal description if you want title insurance and sell it.

 After nearly 2 years of sustained advocacy, the 21st Century Road to Housing Act is now law.

The largest bipartisan housing package in a generation, the legislation combines nearly 50 individual housing measures that will:  EXPAND access to credit/ REDUCE barriers to housing construction/       Increase housing supply/ Strengthen pathways to homeownership

MLS meeting: Buyer wants Widgi Creek (budget under $1.1m)/// Lots of price reductions I.e. Wiestoria dropped $20k and now

 $575,000.  Call me if you're shopping.  Sellers seem to be more motivated; especially if they have a home they are contracted to buy elsewhere.  Mary 541-771-8947
