A Season of Caring

Winter in general can be a challenging time. Daylight is short and the temperature outside is COLD. For those in need, it’s got to be the very difficult. In Lake Oswego there are several ways that you can help.

Shop with a Cop

Shop with a cop pairs police officers with children. They go shopping together for items that the child needs. This year, because of Covid, volunteers are doing the shopping and police officers will deliver the purchased items to children’s homes. You can make a donation at www.ccpobf.org/about/make-a-donation.html. This event ends on December 12th.

Personal Care Items

Personal hygene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, sun screen, disposable razors, diapers, deodorant, and shampoo can be dropped off at a donation barrel at City Hall, 380 A Avenue, South entrance vestibule. Donations can be dropped off at any time. New, unused items, please.

Hunger Fighters Oregon

A record number of people in Lake Oswego are in need of emergency food. Non-parishable food items can be donated at City Hall, 380 A Avenue. Donation barrels are located in the North vestibule fronting A Avenue or directly with Hunger Fighters, 2301 Hazel Rd, Lake Oswego. You can learn more by visiting www.hungerfightersoregon.org

School Supply Drive

The Rotary club of Lake Oswego is collecting school supplies in conjunction with the Lake Oswego School Foundation and district counselors. Back packs have already been generously donated and now is the time to fill them up! The Rotary is looking for monetary donations. Money will be used to purchase basic school supplies and also to fund the gift card program that Rotary administers year around. You can make a donation at https://bit.ly/2IMnPeA or you can mail a donation to Rotary Club of Lake Oswego-School Supply Drive, P.O. Box 94, Lake Oswego, OR 97034.

Toy Drive

The Lake Oswego Fire Department and Library are accepting new, unwrapped toys to give to children. Toys will be distributed by the Tualatin Valley Elks Lodge. The toy drive ends December 11th. Until then toys can be dropped off at the the Lake Oswego Fire Department’s main station, 300 B Avenue, Lake Oswego or at the Library, 706 Fouth Street.

Thank you for spreading the love and good cheer!

News & Notes ~ Oct 2020 Numbers

Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (Oct 2020) and how Lake Oswego fits in to this picture just below.

Inventory remained at 1.1 months of supply in October. August was 1.3 and July was 1.2. The 1.1 mark is a record low according to RMLS. New Listings, Pending Sales and Appreciation are all up across the board.

Though we have an undeniable shortage of homes available, this is the time of year when Buyers can expect to find reasonable Sellers, and Sellers can expect to find serious Buyers out looking.

Rates are still very good, remaining around 2.875 as of today.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, Sept 2020:

There were 3,515 New Listings in Oct 2020 increased 14.7% from Oct of 2019’s 3,064, and also increased 7.7% over the previous month/Sept’s 3,264.
At 3,155, Oct 2020’s Closed Sales are up 21.9% from Oct 2019’s 2,588, and decreased 3.0% from the previous month/Sept 2020’s total of 3,251
At 3,199, Oct 2020’s Pending Sales are up 25.2% from Oct 2019’s 2,575, and also increased 1.5% over the previous month/Sept 2020’s total of 3,152.
The Average Sale Price in Oct 2020 of $516,000 is up $54,600 from last year/Oct 2019’s $461,400, and is up $6,000 from the previous month/Sept 2020’s $510,000. YTD increase is 6.5%.
The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in Oct 2020 of $460,000 rose from last year/Oct 2019’s $410,500 by $49,500, and is up by $9,000 from the previous month/Sept 2020’s $451,000. YTD increase is 6.1%.

- 213 Active Listings (Sept 250)
- 197 New Listings (Sept 173)
- 193 Pending Sales (Sept 180)
- 173 Closed Sales (Sept 191)
- Average Sale Price for Oct: $756,600 (Sept $782,600)
  - 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.

Market Activity ~ Oct 26-Nov 1, 2020

Last week we saw 5 New Properties hit the market in Lake Oswego, so New Listings are slowing a bit seasonally, as is always expected. 28 properties moved to Pending status, and 25 Closed/Sold. All in all there are currently 139 properties available in Lake Oswego right now.

October 27, 2020

Market Activity October 19-25, 2020

We had a burst of new listings in Lake Oswego last week with 23 properties coming onto the market. That’s about 30% more than recent previous weeks. We also had 20 properties that accepted offers and went into pending status. 20 properties became closed sales. Those numbers are very balanced. I’d call the market stable from every angle.

See below for an explanation of the RMLS data.

News & Notes ~ Sept 2020 Numbers

Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (Sept 2020) and how Lake Oswego fits in to this picture just below.

Inventory is now basically lower than its ever been. That’s a big deal. Listings have dropped substantially from August, and Pending Sales (transactions in progress) are up a whopping 36.4% over Sept 2019, which reflects how the activity locally was pushed way farther into/through the summer than is usual.

This time of year I still say “Fall is for Buyers” as Sellers are generally more willing to negotiate heading into winter, but this year it is good to be a Seller too, as there is just not much out there in terms of competition.

Rates are still very good, around 2.875 today.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, Sept 2020:

There were 3,264 New Listings in Sept 2020 which decreased 5.9% from Sept of 2019’s 3,470, and decreased 16.0% over the previous month/August’s 3,885.
At 3,251, Sept 2020’s Closed Sales are up 36.8% from Sept 2019’s 2,377, and also up 3.2% from the previous month/Aug 2020’s total of 3,149
At 3,152, Sept 2020’s Pending Sales are up 17.3% from Sept 2019’s 2,686, and decreased 14.7% over the previous month/July 2020’s total of 3,697.
The Average Sale Price in Sept 2020 of $510,000 is up $51,600 from last year/Sept 2019’s $458,400, and is about the same as the previous month/Aug 2020’s $511,000. YTD increase is 5.7%.
The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in Sept 2020 of $451,000 rose from last year/Sept 2019’s $410,000 by $41,000, and is up by $2,000 from the previous month/Aug 2020’s $449,000. YTD increase is 5.7%.

- YTD Median: $407,300

LAKE OSWEGO:

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn for the month of September 2020 reported:

- 250 Active Listings (Aug 290)
- 173 New Listings (Aug 229)
- 180 Pending Sales (Aug 208)
- 191 Closed Sales (Aug 178)
- Average Sale Price for Sept: $782,600 (Aug $787,000)
  - 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.
- 45 Average Days on the Market (Aug 71)
