Man Who Experienced Eye Damage During 1962 Solar Eclipse Gives Warning to Others

Image
A man who damaged his eyes 55 years ago while looking at a partial solar eclipse is warning others about the risks of looking at the sun without protection. In 1962, Lou Tomososki walked home from Marshall High School in Bend, Oregon, with his friend Roger Duval, when the two stopped to watch the partial eclipse occurring in the sky. While they only looked with their naked eyes for a few seconds, the damage the sun caused to Tomososki’s vision would stay with him for the rest of his life. According to Today, Tomososki began to see flashes in his vision, similar to the spots that occur when a picture is taken with a flashbulb. Tomososki, now 70, has experienced vision problems since then, and he is warning those who want to enjoy the Great American Eclipse on August 21 to wear eye protection while looking at the celestial event. “It’s going to be over real quick and it’s not worth taking a chance,” Lou Tomososki told KGW. Tomososki learned that he had burned the retin...

Have You Considered a Post-Closing Occupancy Agreement?

Image
It’s a crazy market out there. Buyers are doing anything they can to secure a home, but inventory is low because potential sellers don’t want to be buyers in this market. And when a seller does list their home, their biggest fear is they won’t be able to find a new home in the time they must be out of their old one. A post-closing occupancy agreement might just work for your buyer who’s looking to make a stand-out offer, and your seller who’s worried about the timeline. What is a post-closing occupancy agreement? A post-closing occupancy agreement is when a seller retains occupancy of the property for up to 60 days after closing occurs, the tactic isn’t often used, but in this market, brokers consider it an ace in the hole, if navigated correctly. Evaluate Not all buyers are good candidates for the post-closing occupancy agreement, and it’s important to understand the clients’ current living arrangements. If the buyers are living at an extended-stay hotel, Airbnb, month-to-mont...

Pricing your Home For Sale

Image
If you’re considering selling your home, one of the most important decisions you’ll need to make is how to price your home. Price too high, you may miss out on potential buyers or sit too long on the market. Price too low, you may leave money on the table. Here are some tips to consider as you work with your agent to price your home for sale. Ask for a CMA Ask your REALTOR® to provide a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. In this analysis, your agent will compare your home with other similar homes that have recently sold. They can also weigh in unique features of your home, housing market trends, and desirability of your neighborhood for a comprehensive home valuation. All these factors are used to determine the best list price for your home. While online home value calculators can provide initial insight, they should not be used to price your home for sale. These calculators are only as good as the data provided. They cannot weigh unique factors, like special features of your...

Silicon Valley house on the market for only $800K!!! What in the world?

Image
Eight hundred thousand dollars is certainly not an unheard of price in the world of residential real estate, as prices shoot up in hot markets such as New York, the District of Columbia, and the San Francisco Bay area. But what that amount buys in San Jose, a main node of Silicon Valley and its soaring estate prices, drew a second look: a debilitated, burned shell of a home on a small overgrown lot of the type your parents might have warned you to stay away from. The median home value in San Jose is $1,078,300. That's up 23.9% over the past year, and is predicted to rise 8.4% over 2018. The fact that severe fire damage only bumped that average down to $800,000 says a lot about the area's market, where available housing is sparse and residents prioritize proximity to their employment. PS: I just checked about an hour ago, so by the time you read this article know that the house is already under contract. I guess Metro Denver and Centennial prices are not that high after a...

187K active Gas/Oil leases near neighborhoods, parks and schools in Arapahoe County Colorado

Image
Using data from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the website’s map shows a total of 187,000 active leases near neighborhoods, parks and schools in Arapahoe County.    The map also shows that 192,000 acres in Arapahoe County contain mineral rights owned by oil and gas companies. The two largest lease and right holders in Aurora are Texas-based companies Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and ConocoPhillips. While not every lease will be developed, the fact these leases were so recently filed and that the oil and gas industry owns the mineral rights under so much of Arapahoe County is clearly a warning sign for elected officials and residents. Our state government exists to protect our citizens, but right now our local governments don’t have the tools to exercise their rights to determine where oil and gas development occurs or how close it should be to our schools, homes and open spaces. I am concerned the governor’s Oil and Gas Task Force will miss an opportunity to ...
