Goal 18 - Beaches and Dunes Comprehensive Plan and Municipal Code is geared toward protecting the dune and beach areas of Bandon.  Bandon is the only oceanfront city in Coos County.  

The City of Bandon Planning Commission has reviewed the Goal 18 amendments.  The amendments are geared toward protecting Bandon's beaches and dunes.  You can see the entire Goal 18 text, with amendments, along with maps and overlays here, starting at page 20.

According to the City of Bandon Newsletter, a second public hearing will be held April 4, 2011 at 7pm in the City Council Chambers at City Hall.

If you have your eye on a gorgeous ocean view lot in Bandon's CD-1 zone, but your budget doesn't allow for purchasing the lot and building a stick-built home, perhaps a manufatured home can work for you.

Manufactured homes are widely considered to be a less expensive alternative to frame houses.  Unfortunately, they are also considered to be of lower quality and have less longevity.  Perhaps this is true of manufactured homes in the 'traditional' sense (if you can call a factory-built home 'traditional'), but technology has changed.  Prefab, modular, manufactured and panel homes have come a long way toward high quality long-term dwellings.  A list of websites for prefab homes follows.

Douglas Cutler                     PrefabCosm 

GreenStrides Traditional         GreenCottage   

Method Homes                     Marmol Radziner

Modern Modular List            Yankee Barn Homes

Modular Housing Council         ModTech

CedarHouse                        House Designs

All I did was Google "prefab homes modern" and "prefab homes traditional"

In the City of Bandon, Oregon, certain zones allow for manufactured homes to be built.  If you desire an ocean view on Beach Loop Drive, the CD-1 zone might be an option.  Here are some of the requirements for installing a manufactured home in the CD-1 zone:

From Bandon's Municipal Code, Sections 16 & 17

1. Definition: "Manufactured dwelling" or "manufactured home" means a structure constructed for movement on the public highways that has sleeping, cooking and plumbing facilities, that is intended for human occupancy, is being used for residential purposes and was constructed in accordance with federal manufactured housing construction and safety standard regulations in effect at the time of construction; and also meets the following standards:

A manufactured home placed outside of a manufactured home subdivision or a mobile home park shall:

1. Be multi-sectional (double-wide or wider) and enclose a floor area of not less than one thousand (1,000) square feet;

2. Be placed on an excavated and back-filled foundation, enclosed at the perimeter with no more than sixteen (16) inches of the enclosing material exposed above grade. Where the building site has a sloped grade, no more than sixteen (16) inches of the enclosing material shall be exposed on the uphill side of the home. If the manufactured home is placed on a basement, the sixteen (16) inch limitation will not apply;

3. Have a roof with a nominal pitch of three feet in height for each twelve (12) feet in width;

4. Be certified by the manufacturer to have an exterior thermal envelope meeting performance standards required of single-family dwellings constructed under the state building code as defined in ORS 455.010. (evidence demonstrating that the manufactured home meets "super good cents" energy efficiency standards is deemed to satisfy the exterior thermal envelope certification requirement. Additional manufacturer's certification shall not be required). Homes manufacured in Oregon or Washington after April 1, 1992, meet the energy efficiency standards;

5. Not have bare metal siding or roofing; and

6. Not be sited adjacent to any structure listed on the register of historic landmarks and districts or sited adjacent to any of the historic sites listed in the historic-cultural overlay zone sited in this title.

The vast majority of both sides of Beach Loop Drive are in the CD-1 zone, as well as most of the northern side of Seabird Drive.  Another area of CD-1 zoning includes portions of Riverside Drive.  You can see a PDF version of Bandon's Zoning Map here.  For listed properties within the CD-1 zone, call United Country - Bandon

Recently the Bandon real estate market has taken an uncomfortable dive.  Prices are now down approximately 30% on average from the top of the market (2005-ish).  Will they go lower? Probably, but does that mean that it's not a good time to purchase real estate in Bandon? Not necessarily. There are so many ways today to purchase real estate that makes a good investment even better.  Purchasing short sales, using foreclosure auctions and looking out for newly listed REO ("real estate owned" by banks) properties can save you a load of cash when closing escrow.  The best way is to find a property you love, and go after it.  Even traditionally listed properties can be purchased for WAY below the value that the county assessor has assigned it and way below the list price.

If you are in the real estate market today and looking for a place to put money for the long-term investment, it pays to shop around.  Be patient.  Properties can be purchased for surprisingly low numbers. Take it from me; despite what you hear to the contrary ("My seller holds a hard line." and "The seller won't consider anything under $ X."), sellers want to see all offers.  When no offers are made on a property, a seller has no way to become educated about the public's assessment of value for their home.  Each offer that comes in for a property is an indicator of a proper sale price that the seller needs to see.  It will reinforce knowledge of the buyer's mindset and opinion of what the property is worth.  In the long run, a seller is well advised to price a property within a range the market will bear.  Otherwise, they are wasting their time.

You might be thinking, "duh" at this point, but I assure you that I see misinformed and misguided sellers every day.  When we stop to analyze the new listings coming up in Bandon, we realize that sellers are not being told the absolute truth about the market today.  Agents are listing property way too high, which is disingenuous - a property owner should be told exactly what the market is doing.  If that means that an agent must tell them that their property will end up selling for 60% of what a seller wishes for, then so be it.  Sometimes, and agent's job is to communicate the unpleasant facts of the local real estate market.

So when searching for property, do a thorough market analysis of comparable sales.  Don't use listings.  What does a listing tell you about what property is selling for?  Nothing.  A listing is NOT a sale.  Take into consideration any unique features of the property you wish to purchase, and those of the comparable sales that you have found.  And above all, make sure you are comfortable with the price you are offering.  After all, it's your money.

The majority of property on the market today are distressed properties.  There is very little incentive for an owner to sell in this real estate market, and if they are selling now, there is likely an unfortunate reason.  If they purchased the property within the last 6 years or so, they will likely be losing money off of any sale.  What is driving these sellers to list is simple: they need financial security.  Selling a home makes the bills easier to pay, and lessens debt.  Think of all the ways a property can be distressed...payment difficulty, short sale, foreclosure, pre-foreclosure, REO, need to move for a job...a regular seller will have to compete directly with all of these.

The bottom line is that when you find a property you are serious about, make a serious offer.

It's currently a Bed & Breakfast (Alder House) with a great reputation, but times have been tough on bed and breakfasts lately.  In fact, most vacation rentals have struggled to stay profitable through our current economic downturn.  Some have resorted to renting the homes long-term or month-to-month just to get some relief from mortgage payments that originated during the height of the market.

With a tax assessed value of $184,840 and a list price of $498,000, these owners are in the difficult position of trying to sell a nice property in a market where everyone is looking for a deal.  In Bandon and the greater Coos County, a "deal" is defined as "rock bottom price".

The scheduled auction date is December 30, 2010.

The scheduled foreclosure auction for 87387 Edna Lane was cancelled this morning.  After many delayed auction dates, there is no new auction date for this property.

Bandon Commons has been VERY successful in selling the vast majority of their inventory in a real estate market where buyers have been reticent to purchase.  Of the 32 homes available at Bandon Commons, 24 have sold, leaving only 8 more homes.  In addition, the ownership of Bandon Commons is eager to work with buyers, and has reduced the list prices of units once again.

The homes at Bandon Commons are modern, comfortable and finely finished homes with zero maintenance worries.  A Homeowner's Association fee of $150/month alleviates the worry of mowing the yard, trimming the trees and painting the home.
