Market Activity Jan 8-14, 2024

My first market activity report of the new year. Love it!

Last week in Lake Oswego there were 7 new listings, one of which sold quickly and appears in this report as a pending sale. There were 10 properties that accepted offers and moved to pending status, and there were 5 closed sales.

Metro Area Snapshot

I had to share this graphic. Look at the Portland Metro area. There are only 3 parts of the community that did not loose value in the last year: Tigard/Wilsonville and Lake Oswego/West Linn. And appreciation in LO/WL has been a healthy 5.9%. You should feel very good about choosing Lake Oswego as a place to live or to aspire to live. Not only is it a terrific community, but it’s a great investment.

Market Activity Dec 25-31, 2023

I think last week, the week between Christmas and New Year’s, is probably the slowest week of the year for real estate activity. Yet, real estate still happens. In Lake Oswego there were 2 new listings, one of which sold quickly, and appears in this report as a pending sale. There were 3 pending sales, and, impressively, there were 10 closed sales.

The reason that real estate still happens, even on the slowest week of the year, is because life still happens. People get married, get new jobs, have babies, life goes on. There is literally no time of the year that isn’t a good time to buy a house or to sell a house.

Christmas Tree Recycling

While we are all looking forward to celebration of the holidays, it’s not too early to start figuring out how to recycle your Christmas tree, if you have one to recycle.

Republic Services allows trees to be recycled in the normal curbside collection via your yard debris. Please remember that the tree must fit completely within the bin, and that may mean that you need to cut it up. They also offer tree pick up, for a fee, if you do not have yard debris collection as part of your normal service. You can call them at 503-636-3011, to make arrangements.

Local Scout Troop 221 will be recycling Christmas trees and wreaths between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 6 and Sunday, January 7. The drive-up recycling service will be located at the Mountain Park Church overflow parking lot (SW Jefferson Ave. & SW McNary Pkwy). The suggested donation is $12 per tree, $10 for wreath, and $15 for pick up in area codes 97219, 97034, 97035. Flocked trees are not accepted. This troop chips and mulches on site to help beautify the neighborhood. To schedule pick up, visit http://www.bsatroop221.us

Local Lake Oswego Girl Scout Troop 40343 will be recycling trees and wreaths from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the upper parking lot of George Rogers on the following dates: December 29, 30, 31 and January 1, 6, 7. Suggested starting donation is $20. If you have any questions, please email troop40343@gmail.com(link sends e-mail)

Lake Osweg Scout Troop 555 will be recycling Christmas trees and wreaths between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 6, and Sunday, January 7. The drive up recycling service will be in the Yakima parking lot at 4101 Kruse Way in Lake Oswego. The suggested donation is $10 per tree and $8 per wreath. For questions, please email Keith Morris, Scoutmaster, at kpmorris@centurylink.net

They also make for a very nice fire in outdoor fireplaces, which is what my husband and I will be doing.

Happy Holidays!

There are 28 artists participating, with 2 featured artists. Janl Pahl does encaustic paintings that capture the beauty of the natural world. LeBrie Rich is a felt artist. She has created felting kits that make it easy for anyone to explore the art of felting.

The Holiday Market Place runs through December 23rd.

Sponsored by the Lake Oswego and West Linn Business Recovery Center and the local Chambers, the Wander Willamette’s mobile BE LOCAL Holiday Savings Pass can be picked up at www.wanderwillamette.com/holidaypass. Simply check in and start enjoying savings at local businesses.

What a great way to support the local community by spending your holiday dollars right in your own neighborhood.

As always, thank you for reading the blotter.

Market Activity Nov 27-Dec 3, 2023

I’m going to start this market activity report with some good news. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, home purchase mortgage applications have gone up 35% in recent weeks. That’s a huge jump and unusual for this time of year.

Here on a local level, last week in Lake Oswego there were 4 new listings, 7 properties that moved to pending status, and 17 sold/closed sales. Something tells me that there are moving trucks arriving in LO this week with holiday trees tied to their roofs.

See below for RMLS data.

Market Activity Nov 13-19, 2023

Last week in Lake Oswego we had 4 new listings, one of which sold quickly and appears in this report as a pending sale. We had 11 properties move to pending status, and 15 closed sales.

Yes, this time of year is slower as compared to the spring and summer, but real estate still happens. This is because life still happens. Babies are born and people need a larger house. Job changes happen and people need to relocate. So if you are in a situation where you need to make a move now, please reach out to Linda or to myself. We’d love to help you.

Happiest of Thanksgivings to You

Thanksgiving is, for me, hands down my favorite holiday. It’s so simple. Friends, family, and pausing to give thanks for the bounty that is our lives. Not overly commercialized. Not about “stuff”, but about the basics of what is really important in life.

Linda and I want to wish many blessings upon you and your family this Thanksgiving. Enjoy the turkey, the stuffing, and the pumpkin pie. But, mostly, enjoy your family and your friends. Happiest of Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Dianne
