Dear Sesemi STReet,

WE ARE BACK! This was a whirlwind past two weeks - with several out of state investors visiting for consecutive daily coastal tours! We covered from Florence to Seaside (and everywhere in between!) including visits to oceanfront, lakefront, oceanview and turn-key STRs in Waldport, Depoe Bay, Lincoln City, Netarts, Nehalem, Pacific City, Rockaway Beach, Arch Cape and Manzanita!!!

🏄🏽‍♂️ TOTAL: 1100+ miles and 20++ active short-term rentals for sale showings and tours!

CONCLUSION: 🪄Olivia Beach Gem SOLD. 🪧NEW IN HOUSE STR LISTING. 🏄🏽‍♂️ One CLEAR TO CLOSE. One new SANDLAKE STR* listing coming to market..and one pending..this was in fact - our most productive week for buyers, sellers and investors in our entire 20+ year real estate career.

It was also a good time to pause and upgrade our post closing services and promotion of our client’s investment rentals while simultaneously realizing that our most clients’ follow a similar path towards prosperity - involving an extended (often last minute) visit to the coast for the dual purpose of vacationing and scouting.

Well, what better accommodations than some of the top AIRBNB’s in the area that were guided by SESEMI?! Our intention - is to provide an investor resource for past, present and future clients to establish a SESEMI OREGON COAST AIRBNB HOST COMMUNITY of like minded, life-styled and spirited investors and operators. We have launched the BETA version of:

Sesemi Collection: Portfolio of Performance a directory of AIRBNB’s we’ve sold in the past few years PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FRIEND’S & FAMILY VISITING OREGON FOR JULY 4th!! 🇺🇸

P.S. - If you are a past client and your property is not listed please do not take offense and SEND US YOUR AIRBNB LISTING..we will add it upon receipt or on our next revision..also any FEEDBACK is always appreciated!

BONUS we have uploaded a COMMUNITY shared drive with some highlights, properties and photos from recent showings..if you’re in the market we can arrange the same efficient research and investment tour that has led to the following:

🔎 What We Noticed:

✍🏼 HIGH LEVEL BACK OF NAPKIN SUMMER MARKET INSIGHT:

There is growing equilibrium between buyers and sellers this summer for the first time in recent memory. The days of COVID and listing a property at any value and still obtaining sufficient showings or receiving an offer are done.

For sellers: Price matters and so does market positioning. Currently my suggestion to most sellers is in the center of our CMA ‘Comparative Market Analysis’ and accurate valuation is critical to appealing to a more selective buyer pool.

On the flip side buyers: have more leverage. Buyers are being more decisive and they have more time to make decisions. Most buyers or investors are not willing to pay ‘top dollar’ for a property unless it meets the aforementioned characteristics: Priced right. Prime location or feature. Limited post closing attention or investment required. Example: Luxury Arch Cape STR pending in 4 days.

To re-emphasize: Oregon Coast Short-Term Rentals are not an abundant asset class. On our invite only Prospect Sheet (note: we now require a formal signed - Buyer Broker Compensation Form for access due to dwindling inventory of zoned STRs contrasted with explosive demand) there are just over 125± STR’s including condos and townhomes on the entire 360+ mile coastline. That equates to a handful of zoned STRs in each city, just because properties are not selling instantaneously does not equal a lack of buyers..it’s lack of properties on investable terms. Hence - seller’s should consider buyer perspectives and vis-versa.

In my day - a typical real estate listing lasted months and maybe years, a home on market for a season is more common than recent history suggests. Have patience, rely on the statistics and get (and stay) ahead of the market.

🏡 Featured Lender Program this week comes from Jason Wray with The Federal Savings Bank with a 5% DOWN Second Home Loan Program and 10% for STRs or Investment Homes 🤯
