There were some interesting things about last week’s market activity that popped out at me. First, condominium sales are picking up pretty aggressively. Several complexes that I have been following have had recent sales SIGNIFICANTLY higher in value than just a year ago. I attribute this to the fact that the foreclosures are sold and actual market value is taking over. The other trend I am noticing is houses that sat on the market, did not sell, were taken off the market a year or two ago, are now being re-listed and selling quickly.
Lake Oswego had 34 new listings last week, 26 pending sales, and 9 closed transactions.
Here are further details regarding last week’s Market Activity, according to RMLS:
