News & Notes

Here is the latest data for you on the overall Portland area, as well as specific Lake Oswego/West Linn (RMLS lumps them together) activity:

Someone flipped a switch around mid-late December, and it’s been nothing but “up” for the Portland real estate market ever since!  You’ve probably noticed, (unless it’s just the circles I run in : ) it’s been the topic on everyone’s lips for months… and doesn’t appear to show signs of slowing down or giving up the spotlight any time soon.

  • At 2,125, Closed Sales were a 9.8% increase over March, and a 16.6% increase over April of 2012.

Market Activity ~ May 6-12, 2013

FamilyI think Dianne said it best last week…. real estate has become fun again! People are pursuing their dreams… upsizing, downsizing, moving closer to work, getting that backyard gardening space or that basement they’ve always wanted… and getting that interest rate they’ve always wanted too! : ) It’s really fun for us to be a part of helping those things to happen. Not that there aren’t challenges, and people still fighting through those (we like helping these people too), but the general market “feeling” is on the upswing.

Last week there were 20 New properties going on the market in Lake Oswego, 27 that went to Pending status, and 16 that Sold/Closed.

Here are further details regarding last week’s Market Activity according to RMLS:

News & Notes ~ Happenings & Market Data

  • Oswego-LakeDuring the period of May 15th and August 31st, Lake Oswego Police will be conducting undercover operations using decoys to determine whether establishments are serving alcohol to underage individuals.  Lake Oswego is being proactive in implementing this program to circumvent alcohol-related incidents involving minors in Lake Oswego.  According to the Dept of Health & Human Services and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Underage alcohol use is a major public health problem. Alcohol is the most commonly used drug in the United States, more than tobacco and illicit drugs, and is responsible for 4,700 deaths of underage persons annually.
  • The 37th Annual “Lake Run” will be held in Lake Oswego on Saturday, May 11th. There will be a kids dash, a 5k for walkers or runners, and a 10k challenge with an “improved new route”.  This event draws thousands every year.  Come enjoy the fun in Millenium Plaza Park with entertainment, lots of great food, and exposition booths.  For more information CLICK HERE.
  • The 2013 Community Survey results show, among other things, that:

* Overall, residents rate the city 8.6 on a 10-point scale, so satisfaction is high as “a place to live”.

* Residents let their “grade” for satisfaction with local government slip to 3.3 on a 5-point scale.  (This is down .1 since 2010, and .5 since 2005)

* 52%, a majority, agree that the city makes efficient use of tax dollars.

* As for the most popular sources of information, 63% of Lake Oswego residents get their information from the Lake Oswego Review and 58% from the Hello LO newsletter among other publications.

* For the detailed report CLICK HERE.

  • Here is a bit of data illustrating how Lake Oswego compares in context with the larger Portland market (you may want to zoom… sorry for the small-ish image…. interesting though, eh?):

Portland May 2013

***Note that Appreciation is based on a comparison of the rolling average sale price for the last 12 months (4/1/12-3/31/13) with the 12 months prior (4/1/11-3/31/12). Days on Market is the number of days from when a property is listed to when an offer is accepted on that same property. If a property is re-listed within 31 days, DOM continues to accrue; however, it does not include the time that it was off the market

 

Market Activity April 29-May 5, 2013

I’ve got to say that real estate has become fun again. It is so nice to have happy people to work with and all of this gorgeous spring weather. Buyers are happy because prices are good and interest rates are low. Sellers are happy because their homes are selling quickly at and above the list price. All the way around it’s a win/win.

Last week in Lake Oswego there were 19 new listings, 34 pending sales, and 21 closed sales.

Here are further details regarding last week’s Market Activity, according to RMLS:

Market Activity April 15-21, 2013

There were some interesting things about last week’s market activity that popped out at me. First, condominium sales are picking up pretty aggressively. Several complexes that I have been following have had recent sales SIGNIFICANTLY higher in value than just a year ago. I attribute this to the fact that the foreclosures are sold and actual market value is taking over. The other trend I am noticing is houses that sat on the market, did not sell, were taken off the market a year or two ago, are now being re-listed and selling quickly.

Lake Oswego had 34 new listings last week, 26 pending sales, and 9 closed transactions.

Here are further details regarding last week’s Market Activity, according to RMLS:
