LOOKS LIKE SPRING IN THE AIR

March 12, 2008








Pretty much stayed in the house today and only one of us was ready to fish. No not me, Helen. I think she is trying to out fish me,which would not take much at this time, since I have not caught anything yet. She fished for around 3 hours using the old standby, a night crawler and a bobber.
After Helen got tired of fishing we decide to go to the Prudential Realtor in Coquille. We talked to a young lady by the name of Patty. She gave us a flyer of one home n Myrtle Point that she thought we would be interested in .


.
It’s an older home that’s quite large, but looks well maintained with new roof. It’s a 3 bedroom with a large front lower section below the house that the owner used as a work shop. It could be modified to fit your needs if you wanted say an additional large recreation area, large den or what ever.
It also has a two car garage with a large covered RV garage and a real nice landscaped yard. Here again little to much home, although the price was not bad. $219,000. The tax on this home runs around $2,241.79 per year. That’s more than double what we pay for our home in California, but here again remember, no sales tax.

I have heard of another program for seniors that help with the taxes for a home in Oregon, but will have to do some checking on it before I can give you any information on it.

The real thing that finally came to us is the realism we have to sell our home first, and then do your home searching up here. You may have to rent for a while, but the big kicker would be what do you do with your furniture. Really don’t want to move it twice. We have some maintenance issues we want to do on our home, which would probably take a month or so to get ready if we do sell.

After being up here for this period of time and all the looking we have done we pretty well have decided we want to get a home in Myrtle point. Taxes cheaper as well as some of the nicer looking homes up in Myrtle Point are well priced.

In preparations for the upcoming rain storm due tonight we covered up all the things exposed to the outside elements. Our plans tomorrow will be to go up to Myrtle Point to look at this house and others to get a better idea.
