Stay awhile

Short-term rentals grow popular, but so do scams Americans are moving less frequently, but moving around more. Although stats compiled by data firm First American show that home buyers stay 7.5 years before moving again – up substantially from a decade ago -- the “corporate housing” business has more than doubled in revenue in the same time frame, says Lee Curtis, current chairman of the Corporate Housing Providers Association. One impetus for the growth is that corporate housing rentals, traditionally geared to executives on temporary assignment, are now listed on sites like AirBnB and Booking.com, and awareness of “alternatives to hotels” has grown along with the popularity of these platforms, says Lee. Baby Boomers are testing locations they’re considering retiring to, and business travelers are more apt to wrap a vacation around an out-of-town assignment. Moreover, “each year there are 1.5 to 2 million interns that U.S. corporations hire temporarily,” says Lee, “they all need somewhere to stay.” Corporate housing firms, which own and manage furnished apartments, have branched out of their traditional role

360.757.6013 800.869.7084

of offering relatively luxurious quarters to also providing spaces in college dorms and co-living apartment buildings where renters share common spaces like kitchens. Of course, individuals have long “sublet” their apartment when they plan to be away for a period. And some landlords may directly lease units for a temporary stay, but a higher cost than yearly, says Stephanie Anderson of the National Apartment Association. But if a sublet advertised on a widely used platform like Craigslist is offered for relative bargain be suspicious, warns Anderson. Some 1600 complaints have been filed with the Federal Trade Commission involving sublet scams whereby a unit is offered by someone who doesn’t actually rent it and asks for money to be quickly wired to reserve it. With legitimate sublets, renters should still be required to apply with the management leasing office, says Anderson.

Q&A

Published mortgage rates vary QUESTION:

We’ve been following mortgage rates very carefully but somehow the rates we see in the paper and online are rarely the rates offered by lenders. Is there a reliable place to obtain mortgage rates?

ANSWER:

If you go to buy a shirt, the price is marked with a tag. You absolutely know the item’s price and so does the store. Same thing with a carton of milk or a hamburger. We’re used to the idea of plain and simple pricing, it’s what everyone wants. We want to understand what things cost so we can decide whether or not to buy and whether one price is better than another. And then we get to mortgages. Mortgage prices are different. They’re constantly in motion. Consider the weekly mortgage rates announced by Freddie Mac each Thursday.

These rates are long a staple of the real estate marketplace. They have been posted continuously since 1971. Freddie Mac numbers are useful because they provide a standard basis from which we can compare rates. They give us a way to measure current rates with interest levels last week, or with rates 20 years ago. If you look at the way Freddie Mac rates are calculated you can see why lender quotes might be different. Rate survey “emails are sent out on Mondays and lenders are asked to respond by close of business Wednesday,” according to Freddie Mac. “If we have received no response on Tuesday, we follow-up with a reminder email on Wednesday morning. We receive a few responses on Monday, but most responses are returned on Tuesday with the balance received on Wednesday.” The rates published Thursday reflect interest levels which might have been in place on Monday,

ASK OUR BROKER By Peter G. Miller

Tuesday, or Wednesday. They do not represent the rates in effect on Thursday. Instead, they give us a general snapshot of rates earlier in the week. Lenders base their rates on their cost of funds. A good way to generally track mortgage trends is to look at the rates for 10-year Treasury notes. Note rates move up and down all day. There usually isn’t much daily movement, but rates do move, and in some cases they move enough to impact mortgage quotes, which are usually expressed in 1/8th of a percent. While published mortgage rates have value, they may not be the absolute latest rates, the rates lenders provide with a Loan Estimate (LE) form. For that, you need to shop around and speak with lenders. Email your real estate questions for Mr. Miller to peter@ctwfeatures.com.

Devastatingly effective wire fraud scams are becoming more and more common in real estate transactions. Sophisticated hackers are monitoring client and/or broker email accounts and waiting for a window to steal monies from clients. The scammers convincingly impersonate the broker or escrow agent, and then send messages urging the clients to wire funds to fake accounts set up by the scammers. The clients are left with no recourse to recover the stolen funds.

Thinking of moving and starting fresh?

lenty of people get the urge to pull up their roots and replant on fresh soil sooner or later. Relocating nearby is often a popular option in order to remain close to work, family and familiars. But it’s often worthwhile to look far outside of your comfort zone, which may yield more affordable housing options or an exciting chance to start fresh in a desirable new location. Thinking about moving and curious to learn where most movers are headed nowadays? The top 10 relocation destinations, according to recent data from Realtor. com, are: Charleston, South Carolina Boise City, Idaho Urban Honolulu, Hawaii Columbia, South Carolina Cape Coral-Fort Meyers, Florida Portland, Maine North-Port Sarasota, Florida Greenville, South Carolina Tucson, Arizona Las Vegas, Nevada George Ratiu, senior economist for Realtor.com October 4, 2019

Here is a list of top 10 moving choices in Santa Clara, California, says many of these top 10 metros aren’t surprising. “These cities where movers are looking for a next home are attractive destinations, with well-rounded amenities and lifestyle options,” he says. “The metros are diversified economically and attractive to different types of homebuyers, including retirees, vacationers, and even young professionals looking to relocate. Each of these cities has something to offer to these different demographics and the different lifestyles they seek.” Ratiu notes that, in seven of the 10 markets, nonlocal buyers are looking at homes with median prices that are 3 to 34 percent less expensive than in their own local markets. “The price discount here does not make these markets necessarily inexpensive; in fact, they are priced 16 percent higher than the national median

of $315,000,” he adds. “This points to the fact that movers are looking for a well-rounded destination and are willing to pay a premium as long as it is more affordable than their initial market.” Rebecca Green, a Portland, Oregon-based real estate broker with the Hasson Company, says many people desire to move today because they crave affordability and/or a lifestyle change. “Having been in real estate for almost 30 years, I’ve seen many shifts. One of the biggest changes today, in comparison to 25 years ago, is that buyers name ‘lifestyle’ as one of their highest priorities,” says Green. “Although a lot of buyers are seeking bigger, better jobs, more than anything else, lifestyle is really a driving factor for many. Housing affordability is another, which is something many of the markets on the

list offer. Renters, for example, are willing to move to a more economical, financially viable city to get on that property ownership ladder.” Ratiu agrees that the job market is a crucial determination for movers. “The top mover metros on our list have an average unemployment rate of 3.3 percent, which is 30 basis points lower than the national average and 38 basis points below what out-ofstate buyers encounter in their home metros,” he says. “Also, eight of these 10 metros are located in states that have lower overall tax burdens compared to the national average of 8.6 percent, making the financial benefits of these metros even more enticing.” The 10 aforementioned cities also share another common trait: good weather and access to the outdoors. “Many of these markets have sunny or moderate climates. It used to be that older generations were seeking this, but I believe weather or the perception of good weather in some markets make them more desirable to all kinds of buyers,” explains Green. Before committing to a long-distance move, count on doing extensive homework. “I would research a 20year trend cycle to make sure there is solid growth in equity being accrued in homes within that market,” says Michael Oliveira, Realtor with Keller Williams in Nashville. “I would also look at neighborhood schools and crime information. A lot of people moved to an area without knowing neighborhoods on a micro level.” Additionally, consider what your actual cost of living will be, “and research the area to determine what kind of
