A Trusted Leader In Mid-Valley Real Estatewww.tncrealty.com

On behalf of all the Brokers and Staff at Town & Country Realty, thank you for your support during these unprecedented times. The past few months have been unlike anything we have ever experienced. We are continually making adjustments and evolving to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients, brokers and staff while providing services for anyone that needs sell a home, buy a home or invest in real estate.

We are committed to providing the expertise, guidance and care that each of our clients deserves while ensuring a safe and timely transaction. We continue to serve you in meaningful ways and provide the level of service you are accustomed to, and expect, from the professionals at Town & Country Realty. To provide more safety and to supplement our exceptional service, we have embraced and enhanced technology opportunities, including but not limited to, increased online marketing, Zoom and Facetime showings, Matterport 3-D photography, virtual tours and open houses, paperless transactions and teleconferencing. As the State of Oregon, and especially Linn and Benton counties, are re-opening we want to share with you how we are moving forward. We continue to be thoughtful about how we approach conducting business and providing a welcoming environment to all who pass through our doors. Our highest priority is for you to feel safe and comfortable.

Our offices continue to be open by appointment only and we are taking, or have taken, the following additional steps: • Maintaining 6 feet of distance between people• Provided face coverings for our brokers and staff• Increased cleaning and sanitizing of all offices and public spaces

including wiping down high touch areas regularly throughout the day

• Additional Bi-weekly medical grade sanitation of all buildings• Installing countertop shields for our reception areas• Providing sanitized pens for individual use • Added signage to encourage distancing and handwashing• Posting signs about the symptoms of COVID-19

• Encouraging staff, brokers and clients to stay home if they have any symptoms We are often asked how the COVID-19 has affected sales and transactions in our area. First, remember that this health crisis is not a housing crisis, as it was in 2008. While national sales have been down, we have been fortunate. People continue to move to and from our area. Thus, our local trends are not in alignment with national sales trends. In our market, Buyers are taking advantage of the current historically low interest rates and looking to buy whether it is their first purchase, looking to move up or make an investment in real estate. Prices have not been affected as our supply of homes for sale remains low across nearly all price points. If you

have a house or property to sell or desire to start the buying process, call us today at 541-757-1781 in Corvallis or 541-924-5616 in Albany and let one of our Brokers share with you the current market analysis. We are here for you!

Be well, Catherine & Lisa Marie

The mission of the Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence is two-fold: to provide services and support to those affected by sexual and domestic

violence, and to provide education and leadership within the community to change the societal conditions that cultivate these forms of violence.CARDV is a 24-hour, 365 day operation, supporting survivors and their families by offering a 24-hr Crisis and Support Line, online chat advocacy, legal advocacy, crisis response, medical advocacy, support groups, 24-hr emergency shelter, and community education. CARDV services are free and confidential. Interested in supporting CARDV? Because of COVID-19, CARDV has had to reschedule/cancel numerous fundraising events.

No matter the donation amount, those enrolled in our Community for Safety Monthly Donor Program allow CARDV to plan for the future and better ensure that the organization can sustain services for survivors and their children long term. Supporters can also make a one-time donation online or send a donation via mail to CARDV’s mailing address (PO Box 914, Corvallis, OR 97339). More information about monthly giving,

and all other kinds of giving, can be found online at www.cardv.org/donate. There are also many ways community members can support CARDV beyond giving monetary donations!

We at Town & Country Realty want to make sure you understand the current real estate market. The tables below show the Months of Inventory (MOI) for the different price ranges within our local areas. As you can see, it remains a Seller’s market* in nearly every price point. In a limited number of higher price ranges, it is a more balanced market*. Recent events resulted in a decline in inventory however thanks to loosening of stay-at-home orders, inventory is increasing in comparison to April and early May (a time that historically sees the most listings). However, there is still more demand from serious buyers for even more inventory. With proper pricing at the time of listing, Sellers are continuing

to receive multiple offers with many over asking price. This indicates that now would be a great time to sell and a wonderful opportunity to move up into a higher price point house where the market is more balanced and interest rates are historically low.Whatever your situation, your Town & Country Realty Broker will work with you to ensure that your real estate goals are realized. We will assess your situation and give you a more personalized look at how we can help. Call today to talk about the perfect timeline and options on the market. *Note: Six months of inventory represents a balanced market for both buyers and sellers. If the Months of Inventory (MOI) is below 6, the market favors a seller. A MOI of more than 6 favors a buyer. Reports were generated as of May 26th, 2020.

Why Your Listing Matters: Inventory

Provided by Karl Maasdam PhotographyAs a commercial and portrait photographer in Corvallis, this is usually the busy time of year for me. This year is different of course, with the COVID-19 shutdown, I have worked very little the past few months. I want to do my part to be a good citizen, and my business was not an essential one during a pandemic. High school and college graduations, senior photos, and coming into the wedding season, we all know these are huge moments in our lives, and they deserve to be photographed. I am still not sure what will happen with the weddings I am scheduled to shoot this summer, but I have started to shoot some graduation and senior photos. Social distancing is not too hard to do when shooting portraits, especially outside, and we all know how beautiful spring is in Oregon. Right now, graduates are experiencing a huge change in normal celebrations. Consider honoring your graduate, family, and loved ones with a socially distanced portrait session. This time of year is perfect for outdoor shoots! I encourage everyone to do their best to photograph these moments. Even if you cannot hire a professional photographer right now, nearly everyone has a phone with a

quality camera. Here are a few tips and ideas to get better pictures of these moments:• If you are shooting a portrait of someone,

do it outside, with both of you in the shade. The light will be even on their face and much more pleasing.

• Get close, and I mean closer than you think, fill the frame with the subject, if you are shooting a portrait you want to fill the frame with the face and shoulders.

• Have the subject stand a least 10 feet from the background (20 feet is ideal). This will give your photo a pleasing background that does not distract from the subject.

• Most important is to take photos and take them of everything, sitting around the table doing schoolwork, your senior decorating their mortar board, the zoom graduation, etc.

Photos are the best way to remember these moments. Even if the photos are from your phone, print them out so they are not lost forever when your computer crashes or you get a new phone.If you are looking for professional photos, whether it is for your high school senior, business website, or a new headshot for your

business or Linkedin, professional images can set you apart and are more affordable than you might think. View my portfolio at karlmaasdam.com or call me at 541-231-5834 to schedule a session!

Town & Country Realty is proud to welcome Bjorn Beer, Broker. Bjorn Beer became a Real Estate Broker after retiring from a decade-and-a-half career in accounting software. In software, he honed his negotiating skills by arranging major strategic partnerships with other companies. Bjorn became a broker because he wants to help others overcome some of the challenges he faced in his own past property transactions. Prior to joining Town & Country Realty, Bjorn had a diverse array of

real estate investment experiences like investing in a hospital real estate syndication, flipping a horse farm, successfully bidding on land at an auction, and even deploying tax strategies when he donated some of his golf course lots to Habitat for Humanity. Bjorn is just as likely to be found exploring outside as he is behind a spreadsheet. He enjoys Oregon to its fullest extent, whether it is trail running, backcountry skiing, exploring remote roads on his gravel bike, or getting humbled in winter surf. He’s also dedicated to conserving the outdoors for future generations. Bjorn is a father of two and is married to a physician. Additionally, Bjorn is fluent in German. Bjorn chose Town & Country Realty for his real estate career because he found it is the most community involved and has the most experienced agents in the mid-Willamette Valley. Bjorn can be reached at 541-745-4050 and at bjorn@tncrealty.com. Welcome, Bjorn!
