A WORD FROM MAYOR JOE BUCK

This week, we honor and celebrate the life and enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King’s call to not rest in the comfort of consensus, but instead to wrestle – honestly and peacefully – with injustice, disagreement, and the moral responsibilities of democratic self-government, feels especially resonant today. Democracy depends on moral discipline. How we speak, protest, enforce laws, and hold one another accountable matters as much as outcomes.

Public trust is paramount to the City and to our local public safety officers. National events are not a proxy for our own policies, training, professionalism, or accountability. In Lake Oswego, our police hold themselves to high standards of trust and dignity and engage with the community in safe, thoughtful, and respectful ways.

We can all embrace Dr. King’s message that while disagreement in society is inevitable, the greatest threat to democracy is the loss of a shared commitment to trust, dignity, and nonviolence. Our commitment to shared values over shared conclusions, and to the importance of local communities amid national division, will help ensure we continue to come together for the honest, open dialogue needed to protect one another’s humanity, uphold accountability, and continue the patient, essential work of building trust.

Please join the City team and members of the City Council this Sunday to honor Dr King.

Portland Area Oct 2025 ~ Stats + LO

Here is your look at the greater Portland area calculated for the previous month with Lake Oswego broken out at the bottom. ***Be sure to check out the Neighborhoods Report below which categorizes into smaller pieces.

November 16, 2025

The news is in some of the changes from Sept to Oct this year: Closed sales up 13.2%, and Average Sale Price down $10,900. Inventory dipped just a bit but it’s staying relatively steady & at least up some from last year. N, NE, SE and Gresham area as well as Hillsboro area are all on a steady 3-month trajectory downward in price. ***I tell people every year at this time that it can be the best time of year to buy a home due to prices and the general willingness of people to be more open to negotiating on price or terms with Sellers trying to get things done before the holidays and/or the end of the year.

Rates: “I expect volatility as economic reports are released after the government shutdown. Rates are currently hanging in the low 6% range.” Gary Boyer, Certified Mortgage Planner, Premier Mortgage Resources

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area October 2025:

There were 2,366 New Listings in October which increased 3.6% from the 2,283 in Oct 2024, & decreased 5.3% from the 2,498 in the previous month/Sept.
At 2,066 October 2025’s Closed Sales (Solds) are up 4.6% from Oct 2024’s 1,975, and up 13.2% from the previous month’s total of 1,825.
At 1,988 October’s Pending Sales (Accepted Offers) are down 1.5% from Oct 2024’s 2,018, and down 7.3% from the previous month/September’s total of 2,145 Accepted Offers.
The Average Sale Price for October 2025 of, $606,000 is up $1,800. from last year /October 2024’s $604,200, and down a whopping $10,900 from the previous month/Sept’s $616,900.
The “Median Sale Price” (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in October 2025 of $540,000 is unmoved from October 2024’s $540,000, & down $5,000 from the previous month’s $545,000.

LAKE OSWEGO: (Month of October ’25)

389 Active Listings (Sep 418)
112 New Listings (Sep 120)
91 Pending Sales (Sep 97)
89 Closed Sales (Sep 88)
Average Sale Price for October: $1,151,100 (Sep $1,241,100)
NOTE: Higher-Priced vs Lower-Priced Homes Sales can skew the “Average” in any given month. Lake Oswego has quite a variety, so this tends to be a less meaningful stat, generally speaking, in this niche.
