This is an unusual request so early in the process but they might be bringing it up because it has been an issue in their current or previous residence.In my experience, tenants and buyers receive a lead-based paint disclosure form at lease signing (or contract signing if purchasing). 

We're off to an unusually strong start on the Oregon Coast this year, as Oregon topped inbound migration in 2025. 

Hey @Mark Miles, we have had an influx of bookings as well but it is evenly split across VRBO and AirBNB.It isn't totally unusual but this has been a bit different.We are usually 1/2 booked for the May-Oct season before Thanksgiving.

The headline number looks stronger than the broader trend suggests.For mortgage rates, softer employment momentum can reduce inflation pressure and give the Fed more flexibility later this year.Inflation Falls to an 8-Month LowConsumer inflation rose just 0.2% in January and slowed to 2.4% year over year, down from 2.7%.Core inflation eased to 2.5% annually.That’s the lowest annual rate in eight months.Shelter (which makes up ~35% of CPI and ~44% of core CPI) was modest in January, helping bring the annual number down.Airline fares jumped, but the broader inflation picture was contained.Bottom line: Inflation is moving in the right direction.The Federal Reserve is still cautious, but easing inflation + cooling labor data strengthens the case for eventual rate cuts later in 2026.For buyers and sellers: inflation cooling is generally supportive for mortgage rate stability.Existing Home Sales Slow to Start 2026After a strong December, existing home sales fell 8.4% in January and were down 4.4% year over year.Inventory slipped slightly month-over-month but remains higher than last year.NAR noted unusually cold weather and heavy precipitation may have distorted the numbers.The more important point?

When something looks unusually cheap in LA, it’s fair assume there’s friction rather than a hidden gem.

Termites aren’t unusual on the eastern shore.

In fact, using cost segregation results in an unusually high depreciation deduction, which IS an IRS audit flag.

Home sales jumped 15.1% year-over-year, which is unusual for December.
