Market Activity Report July 3rd – 9th, 2017

Hey everybody,
Hope everybody had a wonderful 4th of July, and a great summer! The nice weather has been so great. I’ve gotten the chance to explore some of the great swimming holes (three pools being my favorite so far!). Lake Oswego real estate has been hopping. We saw many houses go on the market and be sold within the first week. Weirdly enough one of the houses that is freshly listed is the one my high school crush and his family used to live in. Its so weird to see it on the market! Beautiful house up on Greentree Cir, I highly suggest taking a look!

29 new listings, 20 pending houses, 15 sold homes

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

LO Summer Concerts are Happening!


One of my very favorite events each summer is attending the free, outdoor summer concerts that the City of Lake Oswego offers in July and August. They are every Wednesday night. In July they go from 7-9 pm at Foothills Park. In August they move to Westlake Park and go from 6:30 to 8:30. They are free!

I like to show up at least half and hour or even an hour early, and I bring a picnic dinner. Getting there early increases the odds that you’ll get a seat a bit close to the stage. It’s a beautiful summer evening and the picnic dining is delightful. About the time the meal is finished the band gets going.

You don’t have to dance but it is honestly hard not to. The pit area up next to the stage quickly fills with adults and kids. As the sun sets it just gets better and better.

I have seen so many special moments. Older couples who are obviously in love, a disabled woman with her significant other who pulled her to her feet and then gently swayed with her. The kids and the kids-at-heart just boogieing down. It’s a great, very carefree, atmosphere.

Here is this year’s line up:

July 5th has come and gone, but it featured Ty Curtis playing rhythm and blues.

July 12th at Foothills Park will be Barracuda, a Heart tribute band.

July 19th at Foothills Park will be Jult, a Rock and Pop band featuring music of the 80’s and 90’s.

July 26th at Foothills Park will be Paul Creighton who plays the music of Steview Wonder.

August 2nd at Westlake Park will be My Happy Pill who plays Pop, Rock, and Soul

August 9th at Westlake Park will be Chris Baum who plays the music of Steely Dan.

August 16th at Westlake Park will be Cloverdayle, a group that plays Country Rock.

August 23rd at Westlake Park will be Kalimba, a group that pays tribute to Earth, Wind & Fire.

Put a few or all of these dates onto your calendar and take advantage of the sweet summer nights. I hope to see you there!

Market Activity Report June 26-July 2, 2017

Lake Oswego really does put on a show for the 4th of July. From the annual pancake breakfast to the afternoon parade, the city decks itself out and goes all in. I thought this photo was nicely representative of what the town looks like. This does not even begin to show off the annual fireworks display. Wow! It was amazing this year! LO is a special place, but on the 4th of July it really shines.

And now for the Market Activity Report.

Last week in Lake Oswego there were 20 new listings, 25 properties that went into pending status, and 18 sold/closed sales. I also saw an uptick in “refreshed” listings. This happens when a house sits on the market for a period of time. The property will be taken off the market and then put on again as an entirely new listing. This draws attention to it in property searches so it is very effective, but it is not a new listing. This always happens in the market and over the last few years I’d say that I’ve consistently seen a few each week. But last week there were 9. I see this as another indication that the market is slowing just a tad. It is still a seller’s market, but it’s not as over heated as it was a year ago.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

4th of July

Whitney, Linda and I want to wish you and yours a safe and happy 4th of July. I know that I will be down by the lake watching what is annually a spectacular fireworks show. Thank you to the trumpet player who I enjoy every year playing our National Anthem just before the show starts. Whatever you are doing to celebrate the day, please stay safe and take particular care of your pets.

Happy 4th of July!
Whitney, Linda, and Dianne

Market Activity Report June 12th – 18th, 2017

Hey everybody,
Gosh it is hot! As I was going through my Facebook today I saw that people in Arizona were posting pictures of things melting in the heat! I am very thankful that it does not get so hot here at least, however it is still very hot.
During the week of the 12th through the 18th we saw 25 new listings, 26 pending properties, and 27 sold homes. One of the more interesting houses for me to see reach the market is the property on 4660 Upper Dr. This house was on my running route as I grew up here in LO. I remember seeing that house, but do not really remember anything about it other than it was yellow. It never really stood out to me, and then it gets a complete remodel and it is stunning! Way to turn an old home into a beautiful masterpiece.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

Market Activity June 5-11, 2017

Our Market is moving right along. I’m going to step out on a limb here and give my opinion that this year is just a bit slower than last year. Don’t get me wrong, it is still a seller’s market, but it is just not quite as intense, in my opinion. Last week in Lake Oswego we had 28 houses come onto the market as new listings, 22 houses go into pending status, and 19 become closed sales. A year ago, my memory is that the new listings were nearly identical with the pendings happening at the same pace as the listings coming onto the market. Time will tell if I am correct. Right now its the numbers and also a bit of my “Realtor sense”.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

Take Asbestos Seriously

Asbestos Crystal
This post is prompted by an article I read this morning in this week’s Lake Oswego Review. A woman on Weatherstone in Mountain Park started a home renovation project last June. She removed 1300 square feet of asbestos ceilings without taking proper care for its containment. The DEQ inspected the sight on July 8, 2016 and found asbestos debris inside of the house, on clothing, personal belongings, the heat register, and outside of the house on the porch, walkway, and mulched perimeter. This woman has now been fined $31,200.

That’s a lot of money. And all because she was likely trying to save money on the project by either doing it herself of by hiring an unlicensed contractor. Some savings.

Pipe wrapped in asbestos
Asbestos is nasty stuff. It is a naturally occurring silicate mineral that is made up of fibrous crystals. It is strong, insulates well, and is fire resistant. Because of the nature of the material it was wildly popular in home construction for years.

Where it is a hazard is if it is torn or worn to allow the fibrous crystals to become dust in the air that you can then breathe in. Those little crystals get into your lungs and get stuck. You can not cough them out. They stay in your lungs for years and years continually irritating the area until they can become cancer.

Think about what this lady did. She had the particles all over her house, inside and out, on heat registers where they would be additionally blown about and circulated. There is no way that she hasn’t exposed herself to breathing that stuff in, along with everyone else in the house hold. It’s just plain stupid, stupid, stupid.

About 3 years ago I sold a house that had asbestos popcorn ceilings. I had the home owner have them professionally removed prior to putting the house up for sale because the ceilings were visibly damaged. It was about 1000 square feet, and as I recall it cost $4000. This was removing the old ceiling and then texturing and painting a new ceiling. There is not so much money involved here that could possibly make improper removal even a tempting option. Just. Don’t. Do. It.

Stay safe and be smart,
Dianne
