Sublimity is a Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports school and is proactive with our behavior program. PBIS is utilized so students increase academic performance, decrease problem behavior, and establish a positive school culture. Services are available to students with disruptive behaviors. Assistance includes, but not limited to, one on one or small group support with a behavior specialist to help the student be successful on a day to day basis. The building administrator is also available to help with accessing this program.
All reports of bullying/ harassment are investigated thoroughly. In addition to staff reporting, our school subscribes to Safe Oregon. Students can report incidences of bullying and/or harassment anonymously.
Sublimity School performs drama productions as well as music concerts in the winter and spring. Our middle school students have the opportunity to participate in Fall, Winter, and Spring Sports which include: (Football, Volleyball, Cross Country, Wrestling, Dance, Basketball, and Track) sponsored through our school. Santiam Youth Sports organizes sports for all kids in grades K-5 in every season. We also offer choir to our fourth through eighth grade students. We have a very active ASB Student Government group that demonstrates leadership skills.
At Sublimity we believe that parent/family engagement in schools improves student achievement, reduces absenteeism, and creates collaboration in their children's education. Students with involved families earn higher grades and test scores, have better social skills, and show improved behavior. We love to work together to support and improve the learning and development of our kids. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their children's education by attending things such as Open House, parent/teacher conferences, music programs, parent education nights, sporting events, joining our Parent Teacher Club, and volunteering at school. Parents are the first and most important educator in their children’s lives and we value their input and involvement.
Community engagement is a two-way street where the school and the community actively work together, creating shared responsibility for student success. It is a tool that promotes and strengthens communities to support young peoples’ full development. We partner with local businesses/organizations to support our students with such activities as: Adopt a Grandparent Program in conjunction with the Marion Estates Retirement Center, Toys for Tots Holiday Toy Drive with the local fire department, Grandparent’s Day Lunch, Community and School Food Drive with the local Food Bank, and we invite the entire community to all school activities.

To protect and reduce your risk, WFG has implemented the following procedures for outgoing and incoming wires:
In the escrow paperwork provided you will be asked to provide written instructions on how you want funds due you sent to you at the close of escrow. If you choose to have the funds sent via wire transfer, WFG will contact you by phone to confirm the wire information provided.
For funds that are to be wired to WFG for your transaction, we will send specific wire instructions to the remitting person via an encrypted email. We recommend you reach out to your WFG contact to confirm the wire instructions prior to remittance.
We look forward to processing your escrow transaction for you. We know that this can be a stressful time and we are here to assist you in any way we can to make this a good experience.

claims, or restrictions on the buyer’s property, other than the mortgage the buyer agrees to pay.
If the preliminary title search uncovers potential problems, a buyer can require that those problems be satisfactorily dealt with before closing on the home.
In addition, owner’s title insurance protects buyers against a myriad of risks that not even the most careful title search can uncover, including things such forged documents, undisclosed or missing heirs of a previous owner, fraud, will disputes, and unrecorded claims of many types.
Without owner’s title insurance, the legal costs to resolve such title claims could easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars and would have to be paid out of pocket by the buyer - not to mention the stress that such situations would cause to the buyer.
Owner’s title insurance is one of the most affordable insurance policies a person can ever buy. Unlike other forms of insurance, there is only a one-time fee at closing for the policy, which financially protects the buyer’s investment for as long as the buyer or the buyer’s heirs own the home.
So, if someone tells the buyer that owner’s title insurance is “optional”, that certainly does not mean that the buyer should not get it. Virtually every lender requires lender’s title insurance, but that insurance does not protect the buyer.
In order to safeguard the buyer’s investment in the property, which is possibly the most important investment the buyer will ever make, owner’s title insurance is absolutely critical.
OWNERS TITLE INSURANCE Why it's important
Both the buyer and seller rely on the escrow agent to carry out their written instructions relating to the transaction and to advise them if any of their instructions are not mutually consistent or cannot be carried out. If the instructions from all parties to an escrow are clearly drafted, the escrow officer can proceed on behalf of the buyer and seller without further consultation. This saves much time and facilitates the closing of the transaction.
The Seller/Agent
Delivers a fully executed Purchase Sale Agreement to the escrow agent. Executes the paperwork necessary to close the transaction.
The Buyer/Agent
Deposits collected funds required to close (in with the escrow agent. Approves the commitment for title insurance, or other items as called for by the Purchase Sale Agreement.
Executes the paperwork and loan documents necessary to close the transaction.
The Lender
Deposits loan documents to be executed by the buyer
Deposits the loan proceeds.
Directs the escrow agent of the conditions under which the loan funds may be used
The Escrow Agent
Clears Title Obtains title insurance
Obtains payoffs and release documents for underlying loans on the property Receives funds from the buyer and/or lender. Prepares vesting document affidavit on seller’s behalf.
Prorates insurance, taxes, rents, etc.
Prepares a final statement (often referred to as the “HUD Statement” or ”Settlement Statement”) for each party, indicating amounts paid in conjunction with the closing of your transaction. Forwards deed to the county for recording. Once the proper documents have been recorded, the escrow agent will distribute funds to the proper parties.
In Summary
Escrow is the process that assembles and processes many of the components of a real estate transaction. The sale is officially closed when the new deed is recorded and funds are available to the seller, thus transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer. The escrow agent is a neutral third party acting on behalf of the buyer and seller.
Title is a bundle of rights in real property. Protecting purchasers and lenders against loss is accomplished by the issuance of a title insurance policy. Usually, during a purchase transaction, the lender requests a policy (commonly referred to as the Lender’s Policy) while the buyers receive their own policy (commonly referred to as an Owner's Policy).
In short, the policy states that if the status of the title to a parcel of real property is other than as represented, and if the insured (either the owner or lender) suffers a loss as a result of a title defect, the insurer will reimburse the insured for that loss and any related legal expenses, up to the face amount of the policy, subject to exceptions and exclusions contained in the policy.
Typically there are two policies issued. The Mortgagee’s Policy insures the lender for the amount of the loan. The Owner’s Policy insures the purchaser of the purchase price.
How is title insurance different from other types of insurance?
While the function of most other forms of insurance is risk assumption through the pooling of risks for losses arising out of unforeseen future events (such as sickness or accidents), the primary purpose of title insurance is to eliminate risks and prevent losses caused by defects in title arising out of events that have happened in the past. To achieve this goal, title insurers perform an extensive search and examination of the public records to determine whether there are any adverse claims (title defects) attached to the subject property. Said defects/claims are either eliminated prior to the issuance of a title policy
or their existence is excepted from coverage. Your policy is issued after the closing of your new home, for a one-time nominal fee, and is good for as long as you own the property.
What’s involved in a title search? A title search is actually made up of three separate searches:
Chain of Title – History of the ownership of the subject property
Tax Search – The tax search reveals the status of the taxes and assessments
Judgment and Name Search – Searches for judgment and liens against the owners’ and purchasers’ names
Once the three searches have been completed, the file is reviewed by an examiner who determines:
Whether or not the Chain of Title shows that the party selling the property has the right to do so. The status of taxes for the subject property. The Tax Search will also indicate the existence of any special assessments against the land and whether or not these assessments are current or past due.
Whether there are any unsatisfied judgments on the Judgment and Name Search against the previous owners, sellers, or and purchasers.
Rights established by judgment decrees, unpaid federal income taxes and mechanic liens all may be prior claims on the property, ahead of the buyer’s or lender’s rights. The title search will only uncover defects in title that are of public record, thus allowing the title company to work with the seller to clear up these issues and provide the new buyer with title insurance.
After the searches have been examined, the title company will issue a commitment, stating the conditions under which it will insure title. The buyer, seller and the mortgage lender will proceed with the closing of the transaction after clearing up any defects in the title that have been uncovered by the search and examination.

REPORT FOR 6/16/2023
Single-Family Homes
This week the median list price for Sublimity, OR 97385 is $744,450 with the market action index hovering around 40. This is less than last month's market action index of 41. Inventory has decreased to 4.
This answers “How’s the Market?” by comparing rate of sales versus inventory.
In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.
Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price.
We continue to see prices in this zip code hovering around these current levels, even though they bumped up a bit this week. Look for a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices move significantly from here.
In the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 2 is on a bit of an up trend in recent weeks. We'll need to see a persistent shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices across the board move from these levels.
The market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both been reasonably stagnant. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator before the market moves from these levels.
Inventory has been falling in recent weeks. Note that declining inventory alone does not signal a strengthening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is changing with the available supply.
In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.
Three of the four quartiles of this zip code are in the Seller’s Market zone with relatively low amounts of inventory given the current levels of demand. It’s not uncommon that the premium segment of the market takes longer to sell than the rest of the group.
The properties have been on the market for an average of 73 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 53 or so days. Watch the 90-day DOM trend for signals of a changing market.
It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.
