News & Notes ~ Nov 2020 Numbers

Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (Nov2020) and how Lake Oswego fits in to this picture just below.

Overview/Fluctuations ~ Market Data Nov 2020:

Inventory is now at 1.0 months of supply here, locally. The lowest it’s ever been. All forecasts are for continued increases in home sales and prices, though more modestly than 2020. Prediction #’s vary among economists. National Association of Realtors (NAR) is predicting a 7.3% increase in sales nationally in 2021. Interest rates are still hovering around 2.875% but are expected to rise, albeit not dramatically. One very interesting item I noted from the NAR information is that nationally, 1 in 6 home purchases is now “multi-generational”. So, how we live is changing in many ways: People are looking for more space to work from home, and generations are moving in together. There is generally more up-sizing than down-sizing going on.

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

There were 2,238 New Listings in Nov 2020 increased 5.7% from Nov of 2019’s 2,118, and decreased a whopping 36.3% from the previous month/Oct’s 3,515.
At 2,745, Nov 2020’s Closed Sales are up 12.4% from Nov 2019’s 2,191, and decreased 13.0% from the previous month/Oct 2020’s total of 3,155
At 2,557, Nov 2020’s Pending Sales are up 12.4% from Nov 2019’s 2,274, and dropped 20.1% from the previous month/Oct 2020’s total of 3,199.
The Average Sale Price in Nov 2020 of $521,200 is up $58,600 from last year/Nov 2019’s $462,600, and is up $4,700 from the previous month/Oct 2020’s $516,500. YTD increase is 7.1%.
The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in Nov 2020 of $457,000 rose from last year/Nov2019’s $415,000 by $42,000, and decreased $3,000 from the previous month/Oct 2020’s $460,000. YTD increase is 6.8%.

Neighborhoods: November’s Average Sale Price + 12-month Appreciation:

North Portland: $480,600 6.2% (Oct $450,300) YTD Median: $431,000

Beaverton/Aloha: $449,100 5.2% (Oct $451,200) YTD Median: $417,000

Hillsboro/Forest Grove: $444,400 5.6% (Oct $445,600)YTD Median: $410,000

LAKE OSWEGO:

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn for the month of November 2020 reported:
- 177 Active Listings (Oct 213)
- 104 New Listings (Oct 197)
- 106 Pending Sales (Oct 193)
- 166 Closed Sales (Oct 173)
- Average Sale Price for Nov: $822,000 (Oct $756,600)
  - 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.
- 50 Average Days on the Market (Oct 59)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Linda and I want to wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving. Even in these challenging times we have so much to be thankful for. We live in a great country that provides us with opportunities. We live in a great community that appreciates diversity and values all lives. We enjoy our family and friends, and even though we can not be close to them this year, we hold them close in our hearts.

Thanksgiving message with pumpkins on a blue background

Linda and I are giving thanks for you, our readers. We appreciate that you take the time to read the blotter and that you are as eager to learn about real estate as Linda and I are eager to share.

There will not be a market activity report this week. Next week’s report will combine two weeks: last week and this.

Enjoy the holiday!

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%.

A Tribute

Today I want to share with you something personal, and yes, it does have to do with real estate. You see, my Mom passed away on October 16th. If you have ever worked with me, you’ve heard me talk about my Mom. So this isn’t new to you. But if you haven’t worked with me, I feel a need to tell you about the best Realtor I have ever known.

My Mom got her real estate license in 1976. She was raised in an era when she wanted to major in business at Oregon State, but as a woman she had to major in “Secretarial Sciences”. Seriously. But she had a head for business. She hung her license at Shelter Properties on Boones Ferry Rd in Lake Grove. There she got her feet on the ground and at one time, after listing an entire new subdivision, got chewed out for besting a more prominent agent, a bit of a diva, for beating her out with most new listings for the month.

She moved on to Professionals 100. In 1987, after the birth of my daughter, I was agonizing over having to put my baby into daycare 5 days a week. I had a back ground in sales. I had actually been a sales trainer for a health club organization. My Mom’s business was booming. She was the leading sales agent in the metro area for Great Western Savings and Loan. She was handling their foreclosure properties and she had just been handed about 20 properties to list and sell. She needed help. She called me up and asked if, perhaps, my husband would consider coming to work for her. My reaction? My husband, what about me? That’s when I started my real estate career. It was 33 years ago. I’ve never looked back.

At first, I was her assistant. As I gained experience, we became a team. Then, as she approached retirement, she became my assistant. It’s probably the best possible circumstance in which to be in this business. You see, real estate has a lot of moving parts. So many people are involved: the buyer, the seller, the inspector, the appraiser, the lender. This means that it’s complicated and no two transactions are the same. As Realtors, we need sounding boards, people we respect and rely on to help us navigate complex circumstances so that we can give our clients the best advice possible, for their benefit, not for out own.

About the time that my Mom retired, I met Linda. She and I have known each other for at least 15 years. She calls me, I call her, she filled that void that opened up when my Mom retired. I don’t know how anyone can be in this business without a confidant.

So yes, I’m grieving. But I’m grateful. How lucky am I to have had Mom who, along with giving me life and raising me, gave me a career?

Today I want to salute my Mom. Oh what a wonderful woman she was!

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.
