Welcome to the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon. Ashland, Medford, Talent, Phoenix, Central Point, Eagle Point, and the spectacular rural surrounding areas all make this part of the Pacific Northwest the perfect place to live!  OVERVIEW
Talent is conveniently located between Medford and Ashland. After considerable growth over the last decade, Talent has been undergoing significant renewal. Many new subdivisions and apartment complexes are either under construction or have been recently completed. This small town originated in 1910, and now boasts a fast-growing population of 6,200-plus. Talent offers residents a rural feel, nestled in the idyllic mountainous landscape of Southern Oregon, yet it’s just minutes away from all the amenities of Medford and Ashland.
CULTURE / EVENTS
Every year on the second Saturday in September, enjoy Talent's Harvest Festival and Parade , a decades-old tradition. Skateboarders love Talent’s state-of-the-art Skatepark [http://www.skateboardparks.com/oregon/talent], open year-round. The original Community Hall and town square recall the days of yesteryear and show Talent’s enduring pioneer spirit. The Camelot Theatre Company on Main Street features some of the region’s best talent, with its mission “to create high-quality, affordable theatre from classic, contemporary, and new works, which reflect the diversity of American culture.”
Nearby Phoenix was one of the earliest frontier settlements in Southern Oregon, founded back in the 1850s. Now famous for its numerous fruit orchards, Phoenix is particularly well known for its succulent pears.
Phoenix offers the quiet character of a rural community, yet high-speed Internet access is available to its homes and businesses. And, when your work is through, dozens of outdoor activities await -- hiking, hunting, fishing, boating, river rafting, and more.

Real Estate Contracts >Contingency Contracts
Buyers walk into your home in your area and fall in love with it. There is one problem--they will have to sell their home before they can buy yours. Their offer contains a contingency clause which makes the purchase dependent upon selling their present home. Should you accept such an offer?
Your decision should be based on several factors. Is their home being professionally marketed at this time, or are they trying to sell it themselves (a risky proposition!)? How long has it been on the market? Is it overpriced? If the house doesn't sell, can the buyers take out a bridge loan or make other arrangements to get to the closing table? How important is timing for you? Will the buyers agree to let you continue marketing your home and accept a non-contingent contract (and void theirs) if their house does not sell? Contingent contracts often work out well, but you need the help of a professional to weigh the pros and cons.
