Market Activity ~ Nov. 19-25, 2012

The chilly air and even Thankgiving Weekend aren’t stopping real estate activity in Lake Oswego! It is a myth that real estate does not sell in the winter. Though there were not many houses on tour Sunday, I had tons of traffic through my Devon Lane listing & our phones are ringing, as they do every holiday season. As the report shows, we have our usual winter slowing, but activity is steady. There are some really great homes out there, and people are on the hunt!

Last week there were 6 New on the market, 12 Pending and 9 Sold:

Our Thanksgiving Wishes

Dianne and I want to take a moment to thank all of our loyal Property Blotter readers and clients for the confidence and support for our work that you’ve shown through the years. On a day like today, we are humbled and grateful for so many things, and YOU rank high on the list : )

Sometimes I go on and get all sappy with you on Thanksgiving (that’s just me…. I get emotional when I think of all the things I have to be grateful for!), but this year I’m going to let someone else pull the heartstrings. I’m attachiing a photo and poem from my friend and poet, Sean Reynolds:

I wish you all;
Pale hills under a yellow moon
amber leaves on dark green lawns
a welcomed chill in the morning air
cartoon balloons and sweet potatoes
with little marshmallows and football

and family and children’s fingers adorned
with olives and naps on the sofa after
wine and pie and laughter—sr

May each of you experience a day of Peace, Abundance, and Love.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Linda & Dianne

Market Activity for Oct 29-Nov 4, 2012

We are certainly experiencing the normal adjustment to real estate that happens in the fall. Last week brought just 9 new listings and 9 pending sales. There were 13 closed sales. While not as busy as we see in the Spring and Summer months, it remains balanced between houses coming onto the market and houses selling. That is good news.
