CONGRAT AND CLASS

TS MASON S OF 2021!

LETTERS FROM LANCE I LOVE MY JOB! No two quarters are ever the same in Real Estate and this quarter did not disappoint! I am so excited to bring you this issue of the Kenmore Quarterly as we explore what is an entirely new market here in Tri-Cities. We have been working hard this quarter with adding agents to our team and some amazing new staff to help us handle all the business.

As my son graduated this year from Richland High (Shout out Bombers) it really made me think about the market in a different way. His friends and acquaintances are starting to ask about buying houses and inquire about the market – yes I’m that old! What does this market mean to a first time home buyer? Can they do what I did at their age as we move forward? In this issue of the quarterly we attack some of those core issues and strategies to help make it happen. Most of all it gives me great satisfaction that our team is a source of information and advice to help everyone in our community deal with these topics.

Enjoy the issue and we wish you and your family an amazing summer!

-Lance Kenmore

WELCOME TO THE TEAM ANDREA CABALLERO CLOSING COORDINATOR We are excited to announce another new team member!

SHEDDING LIGHT ON A BRAND NEW REAL ESTATE M ARKE T

ARTICLE BY L ANCE KENMORE

re s i de nt i al | p ro p er t y ma n a g emen t | F E A T U R E

The other day I was talking with another agent and to make a point and put things in perspective I said to that agent, “Scott I have never seen anything like this in 22 years of being in the business” – he then turned to me and said (names have been redacted to protect the innocent) “Well if you think that is something I was talking to **** the other day at ******** who has been in the business over 40 years and he said the same thing!!” It really made me think how lucky I am to be able to gain this type of experience and see this right now in my career. Multiple times a day online, in person, and during showings we are getting the following questions: 1. WHY IS INVENTORY SO LOW? 2. IS EVERY HOUSE IN MULTIPLE OFFERS? 3. THIS CAN’T LAST FOREVER – CAN IT? 4. WHERE’S ALL THE LAND? When Covid first hit there was a natural reaction that this would be the straw that broke the camel’s back. It seems that there is a large contingent of people out there that are just waiting for another 2009-2010 market.

I argue that this time around, we are in a completely different cycle of events. Where the last housing recession was fueled by the abundance of sub-prime debt, this market has less than 2% of those factors. Covid actually caused more issues in supply chain logistics at a time when demand was about to SPIKE

for housing as the labor force became more mobile and moved back home. Couple that with low interest rates, harder development regulations, and higher demand and you have a market that appreciates rapidly.

The Tri-Cities had an inventory problem long before Covid hit. We started this cycle with a problem and it has only gotten worse. I’ve met with many local builders and developers and all indications right now is that it will take us at least 24 months to catch up the inventory cycle. Recent announcements of multiple food plants being built and billions flowing into our community will continue to fuel job growth and housing demand.

Technology changes in the building industry and how we view entry level housing will finally begin to change and show up in Tri-Cities. The types of houses we live in and zoning will have to change to make things affordable at the entry level market. Once the inventory demand is met you will see the Tri-Cities normalize and move out of double digit appreciation and back to a more stable rate of 3-6% appreciation.

It makes me proud to be an agent that has experienced this and overall allows us to better serve our clients. We have spent a huge amount of time training, studying and preparing for this so that we can navigate and give the best advice possible.

MAKING YOUR OFFE R E S I D E N T I A L : B U Y E R S P E C I A L I S T A RT I C L E

It is a fast-paced market for homebuyers. Low housing supply plus high demand for homes equals home prices increasing at a rapid pace. While that is good for current homeowners whose equity has been increasing along with the market, it has made it increasingly more difficult for buyers to get into homes. Most sellers of their primary homes are looking to buy as well, so without an influx of new construction, demand will continue to outpace supply. Current homeowners have equity that has been increasing rapidly, which is great, but the cost to buy something else is that much more as well. Builders have seen material price increases, some more dramatically than others. The current rate of growth is outpacing buyer’s ability to save or put as much down as they would like to on their next purchase. Record low interest rates still make it enticing to purchase now. Whether you are buying your first home, or looking for more space, getting into a home sooner than later will save you money and the future loss of your purchasing power. It may feel like overpaying today, but it could feel like a killer deal a year from now. Maybe even a few months if we do not get a reprieve from either the supply or demand side of the equation.

SO THEN HOW DO YOU GET INTO A HOME IN A COMPETITIVE SELLER’S MARKET LIKE WE HAVE? First of course, be preapproved and willing to offer as much as another buyer, or close to it. This does not mean you have to overpay significantly for a home, but it may mean that for a specific home in a specific area that would be hard to come by again, you may need to pay more than a comparable

market analysis would value the home at. We are seeing offers regularly go 30-40k over list price depending on where they decided to list the home.

In a situation where the home is priced reasonably and it receives more than four or five offers, that is enough offers for me to assume the seller likely has non-contingent offer(s) that are not asking for closing costs and are willing to escalate their purchase price by a fair amount. In fact, the offers received may have waived a home inspection, and even their finance contingency, thereby making their earnest money nonrefundable if for some reason they are unable to finalize the purchase of the home.

Knowing all of those factors, you as the buyer are probably asking how else you can make your offer stronger?

Risk versus reward. A typical seller wants to receive as much money as possible for the home they are selling. That does not mean they will always take the highest amount offered. The biggest risk factor for the seller on the financing side of the transaction is that the home does not appraise for the amount agreed upon between buyer and seller. If this happens, the lender will not loan against more than the appraised value, so someone must come up with the difference.

The seller could agree to lower the purchase price so that buyer can still purchase, or their offer the buyer can state that they are willing to bring more money to the closing table to meet the terms of the agreement. Do you think that a seller with 7 offers, anywhere from 20-40 thousand over list price is willing to risk having to lower the agreed

RES I DEN TI A L | p ro p er ty ma n a g emen t | fea tu re

KQ ER ENTICING

upon price after the appraisal comes in? Not likely. If there is an offer on the table where the buyer agrees to make up that difference and proves they have the ability to do so, then the buyer with the combination of highest purchase price and ability to reduce some or all of the risk of a low appraisal will be the next owner of that home.

Cash is king, but in the absence of a full cash offer, the buyer that can reduce the seller’s risk the most at the highest price will walk away with a signed contract.

One other thing to keep in mind is closing date flexibility. seller may be looking for their next home and ask a buyer to be flexible in giving them time to do so.

/ 2021

Keep in mind, that everything a buyer does to reduce the risk for the seller can also increase the potential risk for a buyer. Waiving the home inspection is something we don’t recommend, but in a market as competitive as ours, you are starting to see that happen more and more often. Keep in mind, that if you do you waive your inspection, you don’t know what scenario you could walk into in six weeks when the home is yours. Is the risk of not having an inspection worth the reward of owning that home?

SORTING THROUGH YOUR STACK OF OFFERS

RES I DEN TI A L | p ro p er ty ma n a g emen t | fea tu re

R E S I D E N T I A L : L I S T I N G S P E C I A L I S T A RT I C L E LOW APPRAISAL ADDENDUM Low Appraisal situations are a huge risk right now, with the limited number of sold homes for appraisers to view followed by the limited number of homes on the market for buyers to purchase. We always try to get commitment from buyers during the initial negotiations, that they will increase their down payment (up to a certain maximum dollar amount) for low appraisals. This gives sellers exponentially more peace of mind in knowing they are more likely to capture top dollar for their property. We recently captured a $65k increased down payment from a buyer on a property we represented the seller in.

LEVERAGING THE FIRST OFFER How does one get the highest dollar amount for their property? Nothing is more important than leveraging the first offer into more offers and therefore a higher price. The strategy for this includes using a boom clause (aka escalation clause). This allows seller to quickly drive up the price when there is more than one motivated buyer at the table. This year, we have seen the Escalation Clause capture as much as $90k over asking price for a property.

SELLER’S NOTICE TO PERFORM Contracts highly favor buyers in WA State, which is even more reason to have protection as the seller as many unfavorable situations can arise. We often utilize what is called ‘Seller’s Notice to Perform’ in regards to buyer’s financing contingency protection, which is used in 90% of transactions.

Unfortunately there are many times when buyer’s have red flags start popping up; these can include issues with lender documentation, communication falls off or stops, etc… This option avoids drawn out contract delays or stalls and minimize damage by protecting seller upfront.

REVIEWING BUYER’S FINANCIAL ABILITY The financial strength of a buyer is one of the most important factors that a seller considers when reviewing any offer. It does not matter how much a buyer says they will pay if in the end they cannot actually pay that amount. The type of loan, amount of the buyer’s down payment, the reputation of the buyer’s lender, and the amount of Earnest Money are just a few ways in which a buyer can communicate their financial ability to purchase seller’s property.

EVIDENCE OF FUNDS ADDENDUM We encourage all buyers agents to include Evidence of Funds Addendum (Form 22EF) with their offers on Kenmore Team listings. This gives our sellers, whether the buyer is obtaining a mortgage or is a cash buyer, a contractual opportunity to see evidence that the buyer actually has the funds for a down payment and/or closing costs before agreeing to sell to that buyer. As for when to provide proof of funds to sellers, some do it when they submit an offer on a home. But it's also typically fine to supply it shortly after the offer is accepted, usually within a 24 to 72 hour time frame. Buyer's word is not enough. If timely delivery of proof of funds is not delivered our sellers have an opportunity to exit the purchase and sale agreement.

INSPECTION WAIVER ADDENDUM In our competitive sellers’ market we see buyers offers without the typical Inspection Addendum attached. Buyers are hoping sellers will chose their offer over similar offers with inspection addendum attached. In this case we add a Inspection Waiver Addendum to the purchase and Sale contract which has language protecting sellers in regards to the condition of the property.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

SOMEBODY HELP US! “Eh-Hem…is this thing on?

Hello? Investors?

If you can hear me, we desperately need your help.

There are too many renters and not enough rentals.

Okay, so all joking aside the market is truly shy of rental properties right now. In every city, in every rental bracket and in every type of property; There is just not enough to go around. Which means now is a great time to buy a rental investment property. Here are a few of our recommended property types:

Things are getting rough here. People are starting to get unsettled.

Operations is losing sleep, waking up in cold sweats from hearing phones constantly ringing and applicants unhappy that they’re the 5th person to apply in the 2 days the house has been on the market.

Please.

If you can help, buy a rental property. Buy 2!

Us, the applicants, the city…we’re waiting for you.”

The preceding was an actual telecom from the Operations Department of Kenmore Team Property Management, received very late one night and every day following.

So, if you are looking to move, we encourage you to consider renting your house. We can likely have a signed lease before your new mortgage closes. If you just came into some lottery earnings, buy a rental investment property. If you hate your neighbor, offer to buy their house and make it a rental! We aren’t picky about how you come by the rental, we just want to rent it for you.

Call now, applications are standing by… Kenmore Team Property Management 509.820.3637

DUPLEX

SWEET SPOT

If you can find a good quality and remodeled Duplex, that’s a maximum return on investment as it has 2 units to rent. This hasn’t been the most popular option for renters as it involves a shared wall with a neighbor, but with a clean-fresh look inside and off-street parking, a Duplex will rent fairly quickly right now between $1,200 - $1,395 depending on the number of bathrooms, central heating and air option & if it has a garage or shop.

What is most lacking in the market right now is what we call the “Sweet-Spot House.” This is a property that is 1,350 – 1,700 square feet, 3 bed and 2 bath, fully-fenced backyard and in good condition. Depending on improvements in the house like LVP flooring, covered back patio & stone counter tops, these houses rent for $1,495 - $1,895 with a significant amount of applicant response. Also, if you allow for a dog, we are usually overwhelmed by the number of applications we receive on these houses any time of the year.

LARGE & QUALITY Large and quality homes with upgrades like 3 car garages, stone counter tops, gas fireplaces, openconcepts and more than 2.5 bathrooms are also great. The tenant pool may be a little smaller when the rent goes over $2,000, but if you allow for a dog, it’ll rent very well in this market.

KENMORE TEAM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT 509.820.3637 WWW.KENMORETEAMPROPERTYMANAGEMENT.COM

LOOKING TO RENT? A WORD FOR POTENTIAL TENANTS: In simpler times, tenants could take their time and weigh their options between rental properties. In 2021, tenants are lined up sometimes seven applications deep on a single property! Our team of property managers suggest that in this competitive rental market that potential tenants apply as soon as they see a house come on the

market. That way you are top of the line and can make the decision to sign the lease, or potentially move your application to a different property.

Property Manager Brett says to treat your rental application as you would an offer on a house, the faster you get it in, the faster you have the potential to be the first one locked in.
