Market Activity Jan 9-15, 2017

News & Notes ~ Dec. & 2016 Numbers

Well, the latest numbers for the entire Portland area for December and 2016 are in!  This is particularly interesting because the numbers are through December 31st…therefore there are figures for December (best look at what’s happening “right now”) AND for the entire year.

Here’s a bonus piece of information (graphic) that just came out via Realtor.com indicating that land is now accounting for more of the value of a property than it used to across the United States. We don’t know what this will mean as yet, but it will likely affect how Appraisers valuate and may impact loans accordingly. Keep your eyes peeled for more information on this as the year progresses.

Land Value

I usually give our Property Blotter Readers a glimpse at the whole Portland market and how Lake Oswego fits into it below. Here you go!

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

  • There were 1,421 New Listings in December 2016 which was down 7.6% from December of 2015’s 1,548, and also down 31.7% from November of 2016’s total of 2,080.
  • At 2,621, December Closed Sales were also down 3.3% from December 2015’s 2,710, and UP 7.7% over the previous month/November 2016’s total of  2,434.
  • December Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 1,757, fell 9.2% from December of 2015’s 1,936, and were also down 22.5% from the previous month/November 2016’s total of 2,266. (Typical: Holidays… Fewer people out making offers for awhile.)
  •  The Average Sale Price in December of $399,300 was up $31,700 from December 2015’s $367,600, and also up from November 2016’s $397,000.
  • The Year-End (Year-To-Date/YTD) Average Sale Price for the Overall Portland Area was $395,000. That compares to 2015’s YTD Average Sale Price which was $354,500. and accounts for an 11.4% rise.
  • The Inventory inventory situation is not much different from last year, which was at 1.2 months as of December 31st 2015…The lowest since 1999.  ***2016 shows Inventory of 1.3 months with 3,511 Active Listings as of Dec 31st.

Average Sale Prices By Area YTD for 2016 were:

  • North Portland: $380,600    (2015: $335,000)
  • NE Portland:  $418,000    (2015: $376,700)
  • SE Portland: $364,600    (2015: $330,100)
  • Gresham/Troutdale: $297,100    (2015: $263,000)
  • Milwaukie/Clackamas: $376,500    (2015: $335,600)
  • Oregon City/Canby: $366,400    (2015: $325,200)
  • Lake Oswego/West Linn: $614,000    (2015: $541,800)
  • W Portland: $563,400    (2015: $495,100)
  • NW Washington County: $487,900    (2015: $442,700)
  • Beaverton/Aloha: $331,900    (2015: $297,300)
  • Tigard/Wilsonville: $404,200    (2015: $370,600)
  • Hillsboro/Forest Grove: $335,100    (2015: $293,900)

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn  for the month of December 2016 reported:

    •  266 Active Listings    (2015: 255)
    •  68 New Listings    (2015: 86)   
    •  77 Pending Sales    (2015: 98) 
    •  111 Closed Sales    (2015: 143)
    • Average Sale Price for December of $607,100    (2015: $567,300) 
      • 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.
    • Average Time on the Market: 69 Days    (2015: 81)

Market Activity ~ Jan 2-8, 2017

The week of Jan 2-8, saw 5 New properties enter the market in Lake Oswego, 9 move to Pending status, and 13 “Closed”/Sold. Notably, there were a whopping *18* “refreshed properties which I removed (as usual for your viewing pleasure ; ) from the “New” category.

Happy New Year

As we wind down 2016, and prepare to ring in 2017, I want to share with you some of the most gorgeous photos of our fine city that I have ever seen. These were taken about 2 weeks ago during our big snow and ice event by Clifford Paguio Jr. They are shared with his permission. Thank you Clifford.

Market Activity Dec 19-25, 2016

As you can imagine, we are in the midst of the slow market for real estate, and yet I find it interesting that the activity remains consistent with last week’s numbers being very similar to the week prior. I suspect this week will be similar as well. Then we will see the build up begin with inventory building and buyer’s buying. The first couple of weeks of January are likely to still be a bit slower as everyone gets back to their routines, but by mid January, and certainly by February, it will really take off. This is a good time to buy a home for two reasons: less competition so less likelihood of bidding wars, and low interest rates.

Last week in Lake Oswego we had 4 new listings, 11 properties go to pending status, and 12 closed sales.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

Market Activity ~ Dec 12-18, 2016

tree-2015We hope your Christmas, Hanukkah and Holidays are  wondrous time with your Loved ones this year.  As we draw to a close, Dianne, Whitney and I are spending time with ours as well, and thinking of all the Blessings of 2016. Our Property Blotter readers and clients rank high on that list! Thank you so much for reading, and for your loyalty, trust and confidence.  We are here to support you.

During the holidays, we all slow down a bit (or speed up if you’re the one in charge of decorating and making the holidays happen ; ) and our lives take on a different texture.  We revel in this and welcome the longer days as we march headlong into the rest of our winter and a new year.

People are changing their lives through Buying and Selling homes even as the holidays take over so much of our attention. Families are growing, jobs and locations change; all kinds of Life Events cause people to embark on this Grande Adventure! The week of Dec 12-18, saw 8 New properties enter the market in Lake Oswego, 7 move to Pending status, and 13 “Closed”/Sold.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

Market Activity Nov 24-Dec 4, 2016

We are in our first official “winter storm watch” for the season. As someone who has lived here for awhile, I can tell you that it is pretty normal for a lot to be made of winter weather events that turn out to be not much for than frost on the lawn in the morning. Having said that, we can hope, right? Perhaps we will get an inch or two of snow this week. If we do, it won’t last more than a day or two. And even in these conditions, in the middle of the holiday season, houses still get bought and sold. Last week in Lake Oswego we had 5 new listings, 12 houses enter into contracts as pending sales, and 14 sold/closed properties.
