Happy December to all our Property Blotter readers! I have so many people ask me lately: “People don’t buy houses during the holiday season do they?” The first full week of December in Lake Oswego posts 8 homes New on the market (or that have been off for at least 30 days as in the case of a couple of these below), 9 that have moved to Pending status, and 6 that have Sold. My experience has always been a busy one around this time of year!
In the “Sold” section below I added a column (sorry it makes things kind of squished). We usually show what price the property Opened at, and then what price it Closed/Sold at. I inserted the “List Price” in between so that you can see the progression from left to right of how the price shifted, (or not as the case may be).
Here is last week’s Lake Oswego Market Activity according to RMLS:
