Aurora, Oregon Goes to Pot?

Information surrounding a recent real estate sale suggests one Aurora, Oregon property might someday be developed into a commercial marijuana growing operation.

Marion County tax records indicate a 96 acre property located at 24075 Klupenger Road NE sold on September 21, 2015 for $3,290,000. The purchaser of record for the longtime nursery property was Greenpoint Real Estate, LLC.

On portions of page 12 in an online listing statement excerpted below, the property, located in northern Marion County near the Clackamas County line, is cited as a possible site for a large-scale marijuana operation:

“…On April 1, 2015 GPO entered into a 15 year sub-lease near Aurora, Oregon for a 96 acre property to build out GLH’s cultivation and grow activities (the “Aurora Property”). This sublease was terminated on June 30, 2015, however, an option to purchase the property was acquired by GLH in consideration for 200,000 warrants exercisable at US $1.00 for a period for three years and 200,000 warrants exercisable at US$5.00 for a period of three years. The option to acquire the property was assigned to GLH’s wholly owned subsidiary, Greenpoint Real Estate, LLC and was exercised on September 28, 2015. The Aurora Property was acquired for a purchase price of US $3.3 million and was financed by (a) US $100,000 in cash from GLH; (b) US $1.5 million secured 9% promissory note, maturing on September 14, 2017; (b) US $1.7 million in 12% convertible debentures, convertible at US $1.00 and maturing on September 17, 2017…”

“…GLH plans on moving its head office to the Aurora Property and all processing facilities and cultivation will ultimately migrate to the new site. A project is under development to refurbish and expand the existing greenhouse facilities on this site. In the initial phase, 29,000 square feet will be developed for breeding, 18,000 square feet will be developed for cloning and 29,000 square feet has been developed for commercial production. In December 2015, it is anticipated that a further 108,000 square feet will be developed for commercial production subject to regulatory administrative approval…”

Aurora, Oregon Real Estate: What To Expect In 2015

Feature Article by Realtor Roy Widing

Predictions on Aurora’s real estate market are difficult to make with great accuracy. Take, for example, local weather forecasts. Even when armed with advanced technology like detailed satellite images, plus wind, barometric and temperature data, weather forecasters can get it wrong…and that’s for predictions merely a week or two away!

Accurately Predicting Weather & Real Estate Trends Can Be Difficult

Predicting Aurora’s Real Estate Trends
Now imagine the difficulty in predicting local real estate market activity a full year into the future. Along with seasonal influences, other challenges in real estate forecasting include changing mortgage interest and employment rates, ever-shifting home inventory levels, plus a myriad of lending regulations and the mysteries of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, just to name a few. Little wonder, then that some view real estate predictions as akin to flipping a coin or using a dart board.

Although Fun, Darts Are A Poor Choice For Accurate Real Estate Forecasting

Real Estate Forecasting: What Can Work
While not foolproof, one generally helpful tool for predicting future real estate trends can be past real estate trends. Major unpredictable shifts occasionally occur, but the key word here is occasionally.

For example, the Great Recession that hit Aurora and the rest of the country starting around 2007-2008 was our nation’s worst economic downturn since 1929.  Thankfully we haven’t seen such financial meltdowns every year, or every decade, or even every half century. So aside from similar cataclysmic shifts, a certain degree of real estate predictability is possible.

Four Key Reasons For Aurora, Oregon Real Estate Optimism In 2015
Several factors are coming together to provide for an optimistic New Year in our area. As you’ll see, some factors are under federal control and others occur locally, but each has an impact on Aurora real estate. So if you’ve held off selling your Aurora area home, here are four of them that portend a good 2015:

1. Credit Scores Loosen
Most homebuyers need a home loan, generally known as a mortgage. The good news is that mortgage credit is becoming more available as lenders loosen credit requirements.

Credit (FICO) Requirements Have Loosened

2. Lower Down Payments
Government-sponsored loans from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac recently brought out a 3% mortgage option. If conventional lenders also start offering similar low-down payment choices, this could bring more first time homebuyers into the market. This vital Oregon homebuyer group has long been under-represented, with their levels at the lowest since 1987.

3. Consumer Optimism
Recent figures from the National Association of Realtors confirm homebuyers are now more optimistic. This includes Oregon. When it comes to single family homes, the ‘Confidence Index’ chart below shows most states now have a majority level of optimism in their region.

Orange & Red = Strong Single Family Home Consumer Confidence

4. Home Inventory Remains Low
Thanks in part to the reduced level of local new construction, home inventory in our region is still near historic lows. Our most recent survey shows we have 3.2 months of housing backlog. This suggests we have more buyers than sellers. As a result, Aurora homesellers can take advantage of what remains largely a ‘seller’s market’ heading into 2015.

Regional Home Inventory Remains Low

Ride The Tide
Our regional real estate market has changed. Experts predict home price growth to continue at a steady, albeit slower pace through 2015. If you’ve held off selling your Aurora home because you were ‘under water,’ or concerned about the market being too low, now is a good time to consider re-evaluating.

Many Aurora Homeowners Are No Longer ‘Under Water’

Aurora Home Price Forecasting Complications
Price forecasting for Aurora is complicated by the fact that part of Aurora is located in Marion County, which according to the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS) experienced a 15.8% home price increase for 2014, year-to-date. The rest of Aurora is located in a portion of Clackamas County where RMLS reports a 6.5% home price increase over the same time period.

The Bottom Line
For Aurora properties located in Clackamas County, expect home prices to rise approximately 3% to 5% in 2015. For Aurora properties inside Marion County, expect 2015 home price appreciation of between 6% to 8%.
