A Season of Caring

Winter in general can be a challenging time. Daylight is short and the temperature outside is COLD. For those in need, it’s got to be the very difficult. In Lake Oswego there are several ways that you can help.

Shop with a Cop

Shop with a cop pairs police officers with children. They go shopping together for items that the child needs. This year, because of Covid, volunteers are doing the shopping and police officers will deliver the purchased items to children’s homes. You can make a donation at www.ccpobf.org/about/make-a-donation.html. This event ends on December 12th.

Personal Care Items

Personal hygene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, sun screen, disposable razors, diapers, deodorant, and shampoo can be dropped off at a donation barrel at City Hall, 380 A Avenue, South entrance vestibule. Donations can be dropped off at any time. New, unused items, please.

Hunger Fighters Oregon

A record number of people in Lake Oswego are in need of emergency food. Non-parishable food items can be donated at City Hall, 380 A Avenue. Donation barrels are located in the North vestibule fronting A Avenue or directly with Hunger Fighters, 2301 Hazel Rd, Lake Oswego. You can learn more by visiting www.hungerfightersoregon.org

School Supply Drive

The Rotary club of Lake Oswego is collecting school supplies in conjunction with the Lake Oswego School Foundation and district counselors. Back packs have already been generously donated and now is the time to fill them up! The Rotary is looking for monetary donations. Money will be used to purchase basic school supplies and also to fund the gift card program that Rotary administers year around. You can make a donation at https://bit.ly/2IMnPeA or you can mail a donation to Rotary Club of Lake Oswego-School Supply Drive, P.O. Box 94, Lake Oswego, OR 97034.

Toy Drive

The Lake Oswego Fire Department and Library are accepting new, unwrapped toys to give to children. Toys will be distributed by the Tualatin Valley Elks Lodge. The toy drive ends December 11th. Until then toys can be dropped off at the the Lake Oswego Fire Department’s main station, 300 B Avenue, Lake Oswego or at the Library, 706 Fouth Street.

Thank you for spreading the love and good cheer!

Market Activity November 16-29, 2020

Here at the blotter we usually do the market activity report one week at a time, but with the holiday last week, we have combined two weeks. As you can see, not many houses came onto the market, just 12. However, the pending sales and closed sales remained strong. There were 34 properties that went into pending status and 35 closed sales. At this time of year, people making moves are highly motivated to get into the new house before Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Linda and I want to wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving. Even in these challenging times we have so much to be thankful for. We live in a great country that provides us with opportunities. We live in a great community that appreciates diversity and values all lives. We enjoy our family and friends, and even though we can not be close to them this year, we hold them close in our hearts.

Thanksgiving message with pumpkins on a blue background

Linda and I are giving thanks for you, our readers. We appreciate that you take the time to read the blotter and that you are as eager to learn about real estate as Linda and I are eager to share.

There will not be a market activity report this week. Next week’s report will combine two weeks: last week and this.

Enjoy the holiday!

Advice for Every Buyer

I originally found this list of advice at Realtor.com and it was directed at first-time home buyers. But I think it good advice for every buyer, first time, second, seasoned investor, this advice is great for any and all buyers.

Always always always get a house inspection. Always.

Even if the house looks perfect. It can be brand new and still have flaws. In fact, the longest repair addendum I had ever written was for a brand new home in Tigard. It was a gorgeous house, but this builder was building out an entire street. He had his crews on a production schedule that they had to be finished with a house by a specified date in order to progress to the next lot. There was just so much unfinished stuff. Insulation was missing in part the attic. Roof vents were missing screens. Caulking was missing at the back of the kitchen sink. Catching these items while the crews were still in the neighborhood made it easy to bring the workers back in and to get every last item finished correctly.

Don’t forget to also get inspections for radon, the sewer line, asbestos, in-ground tanks, or any other issue that comes along and reflects the age of the house.

Step away from the computer and get pre-approved.

With the Internet giving us easy access to information, it is super easy to do lots of house shopping on your own. It’s also easy to play with mortgage calculators and come up with what you think you can afford. But there comes a time when you need to start working with professionals. In particular, get pre-approved for any financing that you may need. Work with a real person who is local. The on-line lenders, who shall remain nameless in this post, do not have a good reputation for service. In a multiple offer situation, a buyer using a National, on-line lender may be at a disadvantage to a buyer using a local mortgage company with someone who is the point person through the process. Then find yourself a great Realtor. Experienced professionals will be able to guide you to make the process as painless and successful as possible. I also recommend starting with finding a Realtor and then they can give you contact information for great lenders that they know from experience will take good care of you. Both Linda and I have lenders we love to recommend.

Never miss a deadline.

Your Realtor will be keeping track of the deadlines that you need to meet as far as depositing earnest money and completing inspections. You need to be responsible for meeting deadlines with your lender. When they ask you for paperwork, provide it quickly. If you fail to meet the deadlines that your lender sets, you are compromising the chances of closing on time. You have an obligation to cooperate and be as timely as possible.

Choose a lender you like.

I recommend interviewing at least three. This doesn’t mean making applications with all three. It means having a conversation with them. You are going to be sharing very personal information with them about your finances. Your need to have a rapport with them. Find someone who makes it easy and who works for you. Do they return phone calls quickly? Do they answer your questions in a way that you understand?

Summon reserves of patience.

Finding the right house may take time. You may find that you are in situations with multiple offers and your offer may not be chosen. You may get an offer accepted and then have a bad inspection that forces you to end the deal. You may find that at the time of closing a situation comes up that creates a delay. Any number of issues can happen. Go into the home buying experience and pre-set your thinking with the idea that you will exercise patience and allow the process to happen. It will lower the stress and make the entire journey better.

I hope you have found this advice useful. As always, Linda and I are here to help.

A Tribute

Today I want to share with you something personal, and yes, it does have to do with real estate. You see, my Mom passed away on October 16th. If you have ever worked with me, you’ve heard me talk about my Mom. So this isn’t new to you. But if you haven’t worked with me, I feel a need to tell you about the best Realtor I have ever known.

My Mom got her real estate license in 1976. She was raised in an era when she wanted to major in business at Oregon State, but as a woman she had to major in “Secretarial Sciences”. Seriously. But she had a head for business. She hung her license at Shelter Properties on Boones Ferry Rd in Lake Grove. There she got her feet on the ground and at one time, after listing an entire new subdivision, got chewed out for besting a more prominent agent, a bit of a diva, for beating her out with most new listings for the month.

She moved on to Professionals 100. In 1987, after the birth of my daughter, I was agonizing over having to put my baby into daycare 5 days a week. I had a back ground in sales. I had actually been a sales trainer for a health club organization. My Mom’s business was booming. She was the leading sales agent in the metro area for Great Western Savings and Loan. She was handling their foreclosure properties and she had just been handed about 20 properties to list and sell. She needed help. She called me up and asked if, perhaps, my husband would consider coming to work for her. My reaction? My husband, what about me? That’s when I started my real estate career. It was 33 years ago. I’ve never looked back.

At first, I was her assistant. As I gained experience, we became a team. Then, as she approached retirement, she became my assistant. It’s probably the best possible circumstance in which to be in this business. You see, real estate has a lot of moving parts. So many people are involved: the buyer, the seller, the inspector, the appraiser, the lender. This means that it’s complicated and no two transactions are the same. As Realtors, we need sounding boards, people we respect and rely on to help us navigate complex circumstances so that we can give our clients the best advice possible, for their benefit, not for out own.

About the time that my Mom retired, I met Linda. She and I have known each other for at least 15 years. She calls me, I call her, she filled that void that opened up when my Mom retired. I don’t know how anyone can be in this business without a confidant.

So yes, I’m grieving. But I’m grateful. How lucky am I to have had Mom who, along with giving me life and raising me, gave me a career?

Today I want to salute my Mom. Oh what a wonderful woman she was!

Market Activity October 19-25, 2020

We had a burst of new listings in Lake Oswego last week with 23 properties coming onto the market. That’s about 30% more than recent previous weeks. We also had 20 properties that accepted offers and went into pending status. 20 properties became closed sales. Those numbers are very balanced. I’d call the market stable from every angle.

See below for an explanation of the RMLS data.

Featured Property: 45 Eagle Crest #212

I am super excited to tell you about this wonderful condo in the Eagles Crest Condominiums. It is 780 square feet with 1 bedroom and 1 bath. It has a 26 foot deck for outdoor entertainment and relaxation. OK, those are the basics, but there are two features that make this property a stand out.

First, it has sweeping Easterly views. You look out across the metro area to the East where you can see the Willamette River and twinkling lights of the city. The owner will get to wake to sunrises and have serenity of the sky from the main rooms of the home.

Second, this Home Owner’s Association is pretty great. I’ve sold lots and lots of condos. It just isn’t very often that an HOA impresses me. This one impresses me because with all of the features it offers, the monthly fee is relatively low. For $333 a month you get a pool, sauna, party room, game room, exercise room, sauna, on-sight management, water, sewer and garbage. Then, and this is unusual, the HOA owns half a dozen guest suites. They are basically hotel rooms that you can rent if you have house guests. The rent is $50 for the first night and $20 for each subsequent night. That is a deal! Suddenly the one bedroom condo is bigger than 780 square feet.

This sweet condo is priced at just $189,900. The price makes it ideal as an investment (there is no rental cap), or for someone wanting to live in LO for under $200,000. It’s also ideal for an older person who needs easy living with no stairs. Entry into the building is on the same level as the condo. So for basic coming and going there are zero stairs. But if you do need to go downstairs to get your mail or to retrieve something from your storage unit, there is an elevator.

Please give me a call if you have any questions. I’d love to show it to you. -Dianne, 503-803-6298.
