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 (***We’ve used “Days” in each category for ease of understanding) .
With the hot weather that we are experiencing, I thought it would be helpful to remind readers about gaining access to the lake via easements.
There are 3 types of lake easements: the Lake Oswego swim park, the Lake Grove swim park, and the individual easements enjoyed by private homes.
The Lake Oswego Swim Park
Located at 250 Ridgeway Rd, this park is open during the 2022 season from July 1 to August 28. It is available for use by any resident within the city limits of Lake Oswego. The park is paid for with tax dollars and there is not a charge for its use once proof of residency is provided. There are life guards on duty and an assortment of water toys to enjoy.
Lake Grove Swim Park
Located at 3800 Lakeview Blvd, this swim park is open for the 2022 season from June 11 to August 21st. This park is owned and operated by the Lake Oswego School District. All students within the the LOSD have free use of the park and access to swimming lessons. If you are not a student within the district, then your eligibility to use the park requires that you live within the boundaries of the old Lake Grove School District. This district was absorbed into the LOSD when the two school districts merged in 1953.
Private Swim Easements
Private swim easements were developed many years ago. Basically a developer of a neighborhood would buy a lot on the lake and deed it to the homes within the neighborhood. There are approximately 3000 houses in Lake Oswego that have access to these easements. Because the easements were developed many years go, the easements mostly benefit older homes. However, when an old house is torn down and a new house is built, the easement goes to the new house. So there are newer homes that do have easements.
The amenities at the easements very quite a lot. There is an easement that is only about 20 feet wide and just consists of a sloping lawn down to the lake. No picnic tables, no amenities at all. Then there are huge easements with boat slips, canoe racks. picnic tables, water toys and all sorts of fun stuff.
If your house has easement eligibility, you need to join the easement. There is an annual fee. The easements are mostly gated and locked. You gain access by joining. These easements are privately run and have their own unique rules and by-laws.
There is usually a waiting list for boat slips and canoe storage. Remember too that you can not put anything in the water without getting it approved and licensed by the Lake Corporation. For information, and to see if your house or possible future house has any private easement privileges, click here.
I do want to acknowledge that there is currently a law suite happening that challenges the private status of the Oswego Lake. It’s been winding its way through courts for years. It also experienced a significant set back a couple of weeks ago when the presiding judge had to step down. This will not be resolved quickly. If the lake is made public, I doubt it will change the status of any of the easements. What will change is that the lake will be available to the public. That access is pretty limited even if it happens because there simply aren’t many spots that the public could get access. I also think that the Lake Corporation would likely still require registration and licensing of boats, canoes, and other water flotation devices.
Hopefully you are staying cool. There’s lots of summer left, perhaps you’ll find time to take a dip in the Lake.
The real estate market in Lake Oswego last week continued to be well balanced between buyers and sellers. There were 18 properties that came onto the market, 3 of which sold so fast that in this report they are part of the pending properties. 21 properties went pending and 16 sold/closed.
Surprisingly, interest rates actually went down slightly after the Federal Reserve raised the prime lending rate by .75%. Mortgage rates are influenced by the prime lending rate but not completely dictated. Other forces have impact as well. The drop in mortgage rates was a refection of factors such as investors taking money out of the stock market and putting it into safer investments like mortgage bonds. This growing demand leads to lower rates.

Overview/Fluctuations ~ Market Data: We are seeing the effects of interest rate increases in the Portland market. Gresham, Milwaukie, Oregon City and Tigard are holding their own as competitive for Buyers. The rest of the areas of Portland saw Buyers putting their collective foot down as evidenced by the Average Sale Prices compared with the previous month. We call this stabilization, so it’s actually a good thing. Inventory is rising to almost 2020 levels at 1.4 months, but 2018 was 2.1 months inventory and 2019 was 2.4 months, so you can see we’ve got a way to go before we’re back to those levels. Rates: Right now I’m told rates for primary/owner-occupied are at around 6.1% with great credit, utilizing a discount point and putting 20% down.
According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area-June 2022:
There were 4,295 New Listings in June 2022, which was down only slightly from June 2021’s 4,298, and up 11.5% from the previous month/May’s 3,853.
At 2,893 June 2022’s Closed Sales (Solds) are down 16.8% from June 2021’s 3,477, and down 0.8% from the previous month/May 2022’s total of 2,916
At 2,563 June 2022’s Pending Sales (accepted Offers) are down 27.5% from June 2021’s 3,534, and also down 17.9% from the previous month/May 2022’s total of 3,122.
The Average Sale Price in June 2022 of, $633,300 is up $36,200 from last year/June 2021’s $597,100, and down $16,300 from the previous month/May’s $649,600.
The “Median” Sale Price” (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in June 2022 of $570,000 rose from last year/June 2021’s $521,000 by $49,000, and is down $5,000 from the previous month’s $575,000.
LAKE OSWEGO:
171 Active Listings (May 137) 198 New Listings (May 193) 143 Pending Sales (May 153) 125 Closed Sales (May 146) Average Sale Price for May: $1,035,500 (May $1,028,600) 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. 18 Days on the Market (May 19)
Last week Lake Oswego saw 23 properties enter the market, 19 move to Pending status and 12 Sold/Closed. Right now there are 123 properties ranging from $192,000 to 11.5 Mil available.

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 (***We’ve used “Days” in each category for ease of understanding) .
Doing the market activity report for last week makes me feel like the market is very balanced. The volume of sales is very much like it was the last time that I did this report with nearly identical volumes of new listings, pending sales, and closed sales. This is a good environment for both buying and selling.
Last week in Lake Oswego there were 18 new listing that includes four that went into pending status that same week. There were 16 pending sales and 16 closed sales. As I said, very balanced.
See below for RMLS data.

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.
I want to take this opportunity to brag about the Lake Oswego Library. It is rare for a day to go by where I am not benefiting from one of its many services.
My primary use of the library is checking out audio books. I just love to listen to books. They are generally read by the author (Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography) or by professional voice actors. Roy Dotrice, the voice actor who reads The Game of Thrones, has created 100’s of voices for George RR Martin’s novels. You know by the voice intonation and accent who is talking. It’s truly an art form that I have come to just love.
Of course, there are 1000’s of books in paper format to check out. In addition, there is a huge selection of DVD and Blue Ray Movies.
The Library of Things
In addition of books and movies, there is also a Library of Things. You can check out kitchen tools (seasonal cake pans, etc), sewing machines, party supplies (karaoke machines, etc), games, recreation supplies, telescopes, just lots of great stuff.
Lake Oswego Reads
This is a city-wide reading event held each winter. A group of citizens, including high-school students, chooses a book. Hundreds of books are distributed for free. City-wide events are held to show case themes in the book, and, usually, the author gives a talk. The books are always terrific and participating in the events is a nice enhancement to the reading experience.
Cultural Pass
Finally, I want to let you know about the Cultural Pass that you can obtain on-line to gain free access to some of the area’s most popular places to visit. Simply go on-line and make your reservation. You can then print it off or download it to your mobile device. These passes will give you free access to these locations:
Crystal Springs Rhodendron Garden (family of 4)
Evergreen Aviation Museum (2 people)
Gilbert House Children’s Museum (equal number of adults to children)
Lan Su Chinese Garden (2 people)
Oregon Garden (2 adults + 4 children)
Oregon Historical Society (2 people)
Oregon State Parks (1 vehicle)
Pittock Mansion (2 adults + children from the same household)
To obtain your library card, yes, you need a library card to take advantage of these many services, simply go to the library (706 4th St) and show valid photo ID and proof of residency within the City of LO. It’s that easy.
I think that libraries get taken for granted. We pay for the library with our tax dollars. Use it. Enjoy it. I know that I do.
Last week Lake Oswego saw 19 properties enter the market, 14 move to Pending status and 18 Sold/Closed. Right now there are 121 homes available in Lake Oswego from $192,000 to 7.25 mil.
