Market Activity Report ~ Dec 4-10, 2023

Last week Lake Oswego had 3 New Listings, 5 moving to Pending/Accepted Offer status, and 10 that Closed/Sold. We like your info to be accurate and therefore try to remove properties that are not really “new” on the market, but rather “refreshed” and often with no other change than the ML#. It’s interesting to me that while we had 3 truly “New” properties entering the market, there were 5 that fell into the “not truly new on the market” category, and here is the breakdown:

  • 1 was reduced by $10,000 and had been on the market 95 days – switched Agents.
  • 1 was reduced $10,000 and been on the market 208 days – switched Agents.
  • 1 was reduced $20,000 and had been on the market 40 days.
  • 1 was reduced $27,900 and had been on the market 77 days – switched Agents.
  • 1 was simply given a new ML# and no other changes made.

Most of the time people decide to change their representation, there is a dramatic lowering of price accompanying that decision. I will say that, anecdotally, lowering the price is very often something they were advised to do by their original Agent, while of course there can sometimes just be a desire for a change for a variety of reasons. I have no personal knowledge of any of these situations, and am of course not making any assertions here in any way in that regard. I just find this particular array interesting.

In the interest of giving you some data on newly reduced and refreshed listings (changes outlined in the same order above), I’ll make a holiday exception : ) These are the 5:

Criteria: Homes in the 97034 and 97035 zip code, listed, pending or sold between the dates listed above as reported by the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS). DETACHD refers to Single Family Detached Residence, MFG refers to manufactured housing, and ATTACHD refers to single-family residences with some portion of the structure attached to another property, but not constituting CONDO ownership. DOM stands for days on market, or the number of days from when the listing became active and when it received an acceptable offer, with CDOM standing for “cumulative days on market” accounting for “refreshed” listings (***We’ve used “Days” in each category for ease of understanding) .
