Market Activity Report ~ April 27th- May 3rd, 2009

We’re seeing activity at all phases and in all price ranges. Take a look at the spread- New listings, Pending sales, and Sold properties are coming in well represented from the lower to the higher ends of the price spectrum, and more higher-end homes are coming on the market. What we want to see is that “Sold” number start to climb, and this week we are at 8 of them, with 15 in Pending status, and 17 New properties coming on the market.

We’re also seeing that same trend continuing of properties achieving Pending status after only a week to 2 months, while the remainder of them are properties that have been on the market for 200 & 300+ days. Dianne and I both believe this is a “priced-right” signal, in that newer listings are priced to market demand, and more seasoned listings are finally at prices that meet the buyer where the buyer is comfortable.

Here is the latest market activity for Lake Oswego (see below the tables for additional notes):
