Realtor with a Capital “R”

The State of Oregon requires Realtors to take 30 hours of very specific continuing education to be re-licensed every two years. And the National Association of Realtors requires that every four years Realtors must take a class on the Realtor Code of Ethics.

I’ve taken this class quite a few times. There is very little variation. To be a Realtor, that is with a capital “R”, a licensee must adhere to the Code of Ethics. I belong to one of the very few vocations that actually has a code of ethics. I think it goes without saying that it shouldn’t be necessary, but it is. And I am very proud of my profession that we have taken this position to maintain fair dealings and integrity.

Oregon has a pretty interesting history on this front. Oregon was the very first state in the United States to adopt a code of ethics on July 29th, 1913. So it isn’t just the bottle bill with which we have led the Nation.

The code has 17 Articles that stipulate fair dealings with fellow Realtors, with the our clients, and with the public. Each local real estate board is charged with enforcing the code of ethics. Yes, Realtors are held accountable.

Think about it, real estate involves the most important financial dealings that most people make within their lives. It must be handled with ethics.

My favorite part of the Code of Ethics is the preamble. I’d like to share with you just a sample:

“Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our civilization. Realtors should recognize that the interests of the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership. They require the creation of adequate housing, the building of functioning cities, the development of productive industries and farms, and the preservation of a healthful environment.”

And that is just the beginning. It is a beautifully written document and a standard that I am proud of in my profession.

Analysis of the Higher Price Ranges

I think that there is a general perception that the market has picked up a bit of steam. I have personally seen this in multiple offer situations and short market times. But I have to say that I’ve seen it in the more affordable price ranges.

I did have a sale recently for a $625,000 house that sold in 1 day with multiple offers. But I found myself wondering, was that a fluke? Is that really happening in the higher price ranges? So I took some time today to compare the more expensive homes (purely arbitrarily I chose $500,000 and higher) today versus what was happening a year ago in the same 6-month time period. Here are the results:

Price Range Sold 2/11-8/11 Active Today Pending Today Sold 2/12-8/12 Current Months of Inventory
$500,000-$600,000 29 36 17 53 4
$600,000-$700,000 25 32 3 27 7
$700,000-$800,000 23 35 7 17 12
$800,000-$900,000 17 18 4 18 6
$900,000-$1,000,000 9 18 2 11 9
$1,000,000-$1,500,000 19 38 6 15 15
$1,500,000-$3,000,000 3 22 4 5 26
$3,000,000-$20,000,000 0 11 2 1 55

Pretty interesting. The $500,000 to $600,000 is selling strongly. So is the $800,000 to $900,000. 4 to 6 months of inventory is a pretty healthy market. Pricing over a million is where it really hits the skids. And that way tip-top price point of $3,000,000 and more is barely moving. This is when we look at the closed sales. But then when you factor in the pending sales, and there are several, it looks a bit better. When the pending sales in the top price bracket close, and this should happen in 45-60 days, the inventory drops from 55 months to 22 months. In the $1,500,000 to $3,000,000 it drops the inventory from 26 months to 14.

Bottom line, it’s still too soon to tell. And it can still be said that the higher priced homes just take longer to sell as there are fewer people financially qualified to buy them.

So what are these high priced houses like?

The most expensive, recently-closed sale was a house on the Willamette River. It sold for $3,600,000 and went pending in just 33 days (seriously!).

The most expensive pending sale is on the North shore of Oswego Lake. Priced at $4,695,000, it took 428 days to receive an accepted offer.

The most expensive house currently for sale is NOT Jantzen Island. That house has been withdrawn from the market. It was price reduced from $19,500,000 to $15,000,000. The new king of the most-expensive- house-fo-sale-in-Lake-Oswego-pageant is a house on Northshore that is listed for $11,600,000. It was built in 2009 and has 13,462 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 6 full baths and 2 half baths.

I hope you find this information of interest. It’s always a kick to try and figure out the market and its trends. Let me know if you have any questions.

Market Activity Aug 13-19, 2012

Last week Lake Oswego had 16 homes come onto the market, 14 houses go sale pending, and 17 closed sales. Trends? Of the 16 new listings, 5 were homes that were on the market a year or more ago, expired, and have now re-listed. My thought is that the home owners have seen the market pick up and are now thinking they may have better luck. They may be right. Of the pending sales, 1/3 sold is less than 30 days. Of the closed sales, 1/2 sold is less than 30 days.

What’s in a Name?

If you’ve been reading the blotter for awhile, you know that we got the name of our blog by borrowing the Police Blotter from the Lake Oswego Review. The local newspaper does a weekly publication that along with showcasing local schools, businesses, and people, it posts the previous week’s police activity.

The Lake Oswego Police Department has a 100% response policy. That means that when you call, they show up, no matter what. So reading the police blotter can be rather entertaining. Below is from the previous two weeks.

7/23/12 1:15am. Apples are being chucked at a house on Aspen Street.

7/24/12 9:59am. A woman reported finding all kinds of things on her property on North Shore Road, including bicycles, helmets, and a surf board.

7/24/12 1:03pm. Four citations were slapped on a vehicle illegally parked at Lake View Village.

7/24/12 10:51pm. Several teens are jumping in and out of hedges and running around yards in a late-night frolic on Royce Way. Later they were honking horns and chasing each other in cars.

7/25/12 9:04am. Somebody placed a small beagle n a yard on Sierra Ct, then blocked a hole under the fence with wood so the pooch could not get out.

7/26/12 10:42pm. Hearty voices raised in song were heard coming from a pub on B Avenue.

7/26/12 11:43pm. A driver passed out in the middle State Street. He was not drunk but exhausted from his airline flight.

7/28/12 1:16pm. Condolea Drive was the site of a strange incident in which a pot was moved, two large plants were damaged and underwear was thrown into trees.

7/30/12 10:51am. A cat in a pot was discovered in a complex on Foothills Drive.

7/31/12 9:54am. A woman has decided to keep a pair of old handcuffs that she originally wanted to turn in to police.

8/1/12 9:34am. After buying a house, a person looked inside the garage and found 22 lights, causing suspicions that marijuana may be being cultivated inside the house.

8/1/12 8:48am. A female is dancing on the sidewalk, crossing the street and waving at people on B Avenue. It is suspected she may be high on more than life.

8/2/12 2:39pm. A missing St. Bernard named Myia was returned to its owner.

8/2/12 9:16pm. Five teenaged boys, four of them 16, had to clean up the mess from the garbage can they knocked over at Uplands Elementary School.

8/3/12 6:20pm. A cat triggered a burglar alarm on Brianne Court.

8/5/12 10:08am. A toilet in a woman’s bathroom on Melrose Street won’t stop flushing.

There you have it, two weeks on the mean streets of Lake Oswego. And, yes, I know the Police Blotter is now called the Police Log. Not sure why the Lake Oswego Review made the change, but it will always be the Blotter to me. And the propertyblotter will be the propertyblotter as well.

Stay cool in this heat. In LO it only lasts a few days.
