aw and order rhetoric becomes a shield for harm when force is deployed without accountability and moral restraint. State violence cloaked in legality—through procedure or bureaucracy—is still violence. It remains lethal, it remains harmful, and it erodes both our rights and the peace every community deserves.
Citizens have a moral responsibility to question unjust laws and to seek reform. Silence and disengagement are not pathways to peace; they are the conditions under which abuses of power take root.
The Lake Oswego community stands with communities across the country—especially our neighbors in Minneapolis—who are using their voices, trusting what they see with their own eyes, and supporting one another in the shared pursuit of dignity, justice, and accountability for all.
I’m a bit excited about the market activity report for Lake Oswego last week. 16 houses went pending! That feels above average to me for the second week of January. I think that the interest rates at 6% and even slightly under that, is motivating buyers. I also think that the houses with extended market times (7of the 16 pending sales were on the market for more than 100 days) creates a strong environment for buyers to negotiate both price and terms. It makes me feel optimistic about real estate as we enter 2026.
The numbers for last week were 14 new listings, 2 of which sold quickly and appear in the report as pending sales. There were 16 pending sales, and 5 closed sales.

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.
Last week Lake Oswego saw 12 properties enter the market (New), 8 received Offers (Pending) and 7 Closed/Sold. Around 3 of the new ones were taken off the market during the holidays and are being re-listed now for the new year. Right now there are 162 homes available ranging from $194,000 to $8,900,000.

The Lake Oswego Fire Department is now participating in a program that allows first responders to access your property in the event of an emergency without having to break down the door or break a window.
This is especially important for the elderly or people with compromised mobility. You purchase the lockbox, there are two different models to choose from. You install the box within 15′ of your door, then notify the fire department. They will come to your home and lock up a set of keys that you put into the box. The fire department then has a master key that allows them to access the set of keys put inside.
I so would have had this done at my Mother’s house in her final years. Not only was she in her 80’s, but she had disabilities that really compromised her mobility. She actively worried that someday the fire department might have to break down her door. Fortunately, that never happened, but even just the peace of mind that this program would have given her would have been worth the cost of the box.
This is a wonderful program. For more information, click here.
Happy New Year everyone! What a pleasure it is to ring in the new year and to anticipate the year ahead in real estate.
The last 2 weeks real estate has been pretty quiet, as would be expected over the holidays. However, real estate still happened. In the last 2 weeks 6 properties came onto the market, 9 moved to pending status, and there were 10 closed sales.
When people ask me about buying or selling over the holidays, I like to share a story that I experienced a few years ago. I had a listing in Lake Oswego down near the Willamette River. The owner of the house was a single man. He was meticulous with the house being clean and beautiful. On new year’s day he decided to go skiing. Unlike his usual habits, he left some dirty laundry on the bathroom floor. He just didn’t think that the house would be shown on new year’s day. Well, of course the house was shown. Not only was it shown, but we got an offer and the house went into pending status. My client was mortified that he had left laundry on the floor, but he was thrilled to get his house sold. Real Estate does happen all-year round. It never stops.

An annual holiday tradition has developed for myself and for my friends. There is a must-see house with the most spectacular light display at the corner of Indian Springs Rd and Childs Rd. Here are some photos from this year’s extravaganza.
This home owner also does an incredible display at Halloween. It’s a delight to behold.
With the holidays upon us, it is normal for the real estate market to slow down. Last week in Lake Oswego 3 properties came onto the market and 5 moved into pending status. The highlight is that there were 14 closed sales.
I moved to Lake Oswego in 1976 when I was 16 years old. It was the week before Christmas when we arrived at our new home on Dellwood Dr. We pulled into the driveway with a Christmas tree tied to the roof of our car.
I am happy for the 14 lucky families who are moving into their new homes in time to celebrate the holidays.

Criteria:Homes in the 97034 and 97035 zip code, listed, pending or sold between the dates listed above as reported by the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS). DETACHD refers to Single Family Detached Residence, MFG refers to manufactured housing, and ATTACHD refers to single-family residences with some portion of the structure attached to another property, but not constituting CONDO ownership. DOM stands for days on market, or the number of days from when the listing became active and when it received an acceptable offer, with CDOM standing for “cumulative days on market” accounting for “refreshed” listings.
