Oregon barely missed being ranked in the Bottom Ten states for foreclosures during first quarter, 2010.
Here is the list of that Bottom Eleven:
| Nevada | 63.5% |
| California | 50.8% |
| Arizona |
50.3% |
| Massachusetts | 42.2% |
| Rhode Island | 41.6% |
| Florida | 38.7% |
| Michigan | 36.6% |
| Georgia | 35.4% |
| Illinois | 33.9% |
| Idaho | 33.9% |
| Oregon | 33.6% |
Oregon had 2651 foreclosure sales during the first quarter. That was down a substantial 17.7% from the the 4th quarter of 2009. It was up just 1.4% from the first quarter of 2009.
Other western states lined up as follows:
| Utah | 24.9% |
| Washington | 18.9% |
| Alaska | 13.7% |
| Hawaii | 12.3% |
| Montana | 10.7% |
| New Mexico | 9.3% |
The list of worst states for foreclosures is an interesting combination of those that experienced high population growth in the last decade mixed with those that experienced just the opposite during the same period. Maybe luke warm really is better than hot or cold.
Of course, the incidence of foreclosures varies greatly among Oregon counties, just as it does among states.

Is your place legal? Does your home or rental unit comply with the new law requiring carbon monoxide detectors?
You can see it as a great boon for housing safety or as one more time the Legislative Assembly has over-reached. Either way, it's time for all owners with homes for sale and all landlords with housing to rent to get ready to comply with the State of Oregon's new law and regulations on carbon monoxide detectors.
Any single family home, duplex, manufactured dwelling, or multifamily housing that contains a source of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
If you are a landlord or a homeowner planning to sell a rent or sell in the State of Oregon, here's what you need to know:
If you sell your home on or after April 1, 2011, it must have one or more carbon monoxide detectors.
Each rental home, duplex or apartment unit having a carbon monoxide source must have or or more carbon monoxide detectors:
1. If you enter into a new rental or lease agreement with a tenant after July 1, 2010. (Yes, it's already in effect.)
2. If you sell the property on or after April 1, 2011.
3. If you continue to own the rental after April 1, 2011.
One must be installed inside - or within 15 feet of - each bedroom.
If the bedrooms are adjacent that might mean one. If they are separated, that will mean more.
If the bedrooms are on more than one level, a dectector must be installed on each level.
For more info on the requirements for homes for sale or dwellings for rent in Oregon, go to the full details about the law and it's requisite regulations as promulgated by the state Fire Marshal at:

THE MOST MEANINGFUL LOOK AT DATA FOR HOMES FOR SALE IN EUGENE, OR
IS TO COMPARE
THE CURRENT MONTH WITH THE SAME MONTH IN PRIOR YEARS
So for the
WEST EUGENE
RMLS Market Area, HERE ARE:
A decade's worth of supply (Active Listings) and demand (Closed Sales)
for the
Months of JUNE
2001 - 2010:

And a decade of Average Prices for Closed Sales
for Homes in Eugene, Oregon for the
Months of JUNE
2001 - 2010:

These average sales prices represent the arithmetic mean for those residential closed sales in this RMLS market area. The mix of homes sold varies over time. The average price for some months is drastically affected by an unusual number of homes selling at the TOP or BOTTOM of the range of prices. A history of the variation in the statistical median for homes sold would make for a better comparison but is unavailable from RMLS.
