Lake Oswego really does put on a show for the 4th of July. From the annual pancake breakfast to the afternoon parade, the city decks itself out and goes all in. I thought this photo was nicely representative of what the town looks like. This does not even begin to show off the annual fireworks display. Wow! It was amazing this year! LO is a special place, but on the 4th of July it really shines.
And now for the Market Activity Report.
Last week in Lake Oswego there were 20 new listings, 25 properties that went into pending status, and 18 sold/closed sales. I also saw an uptick in “refreshed” listings. This happens when a house sits on the market for a period of time. The property will be taken off the market and then put on again as an entirely new listing. This draws attention to it in property searches so it is very effective, but it is not a new listing. This always happens in the market and over the last few years I’d say that I’ve consistently seen a few each week. But last week there were 9. I see this as another indication that the market is slowing just a tad. It is still a seller’s market, but it’s not as over heated as it was a year ago.
