The Lake Oswego Fire Department is now participating in a program that allows first responders to access your property in the event of an emergency without having to break down the door or break a window.
This is especially important for the elderly or people with compromised mobility. You purchase the lockbox, there are two different models to choose from. You install the box within 15′ of your door, then notify the fire department. They will come to your home and lock up a set of keys that you put into the box. The fire department then has a master key that allows them to access the set of keys put inside.
I so would have had this done at my Mother’s house in her final years. Not only was she in her 80’s, but she had disabilities that really compromised her mobility. She actively worried that someday the fire department might have to break down her door. Fortunately, that never happened, but even just the peace of mind that this program would have given her would have been worth the cost of the box.
This is a wonderful program. For more information, click here.
Happy New Year everyone! What a pleasure it is to ring in the new year and to anticipate the year ahead in real estate.
The last 2 weeks real estate has been pretty quiet, as would be expected over the holidays. However, real estate still happened. In the last 2 weeks 6 properties came onto the market, 9 moved to pending status, and there were 10 closed sales.
When people ask me about buying or selling over the holidays, I like to share a story that I experienced a few years ago. I had a listing in Lake Oswego down near the Willamette River. The owner of the house was a single man. He was meticulous with the house being clean and beautiful. On new year’s day he decided to go skiing. Unlike his usual habits, he left some dirty laundry on the bathroom floor. He just didn’t think that the house would be shown on new year’s day. Well, of course the house was shown. Not only was it shown, but we got an offer and the house went into pending status. My client was mortified that he had left laundry on the floor, but he was thrilled to get his house sold. Real Estate does happen all-year round. It never stops.

An annual holiday tradition has developed for myself and for my friends. There is a must-see house with the most spectacular light display at the corner of Indian Springs Rd and Childs Rd. Here are some photos from this year’s extravaganza.
This home owner also does an incredible display at Halloween. It’s a delight to behold.
With the holidays upon us, it is normal for the real estate market to slow down. Last week in Lake Oswego 3 properties came onto the market and 5 moved into pending status. The highlight is that there were 14 closed sales.
I moved to Lake Oswego in 1976 when I was 16 years old. It was the week before Christmas when we arrived at our new home on Dellwood Dr. We pulled into the driveway with a Christmas tree tied to the roof of our car.
I am happy for the 14 lucky families who are moving into their new homes in time to celebrate the holidays.

Being so close to the holidays, there was more real estate activity in Lake Oswego last week than I expected there to have been. There were 13 new listings, 17 pending sales, and 11 sold/closed properties.

A repair fair is coming to Lake Oswego. Hosted by The Lake Oswego Sustainability Network and the Lake Oswego Public Library, the Repair Fair is happening on Saturday, November 15th, from 10am to 1pm, at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 15751 Quarry Rd.
Skilled volunteers will be on hand to help make repairs for free. You can bring clean clothes that need light mending, jewelry that needs repair, as well as small home appliances.
When I got my green designation for real estate, I learned the most sustainable thing a person can do when buying a home, is to buy one that has already been built. This holds true for our stuff as well. Repairing and continuing to use an item is far more sustainable for our planet than throwing it away and buying in new.
Last week in Lake Oswego there were 6 new listings. One of those sold fast and appears in the report as a pending sale. There were 9 properties that received accepted offers and moved to pending status. And there were 14 closed sales.

What to do with the left over pumpkins? Of course you can recycle them at curbside in your yard debris bin, but there is another option.
On Sunday, November 2nd, 2 to 5pm, bring your pumpkins, carved or not, to the fire tower at Westlake Park. (14165 Bunick Dr) Sponsored by the Lake Oswego Fire Department, you can climb the stairs in the fire tower and toss your pumpkins at a target below.
This free event is aimed toward supporting Hunger Fighters Oregon. Hunger Fighters Oregon is a food pantry in Lake Oswego (4 Monroe Pkwy A) that helps folks experiencing food insecurity. Participants in the pumpkin toss are asked to bring non-perishable, not expired goods to donate to the pantry. Thanksgiving/Holiday foods are particularly appreciated at this time of year. Think mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, broth, pie and bread mixes. All donations are appreciated.
