60 Unique Doves are being hidden around Lake Oswego. From December 1st to 23rd, they will be hidden in the Gallery Without Walls, in City Parks, and in local businesses. Each dove is a unique, hand-made design that is made from fired porcelain and imprinted with vintage crochet, blue glaze. The artist is Dorothy Steele. Each dove is signed, dated and numbered.
I would love to find one! Perhaps I’ll see you out and about as the treasure hunt ensues. Good luck!
People often ask me if this is a good time of year to be buying or selling a house. The answer is yes! Interest rates are typically very low in the winter. People who are selling at this time of year are motivated. Many companies are transferring their executives to close out their fiscal year. And a house that is beautiful in the winter will be gorgeous in the spring! This past week Lake Oswego had 12 new listings, 15 houses going into pending status with accepted offers, and 11 closed sales.

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.
Here are the October numbers for Portland and the Lake Oswego/West Linn areas (RMLS lumps them together).
According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, October, 2015:
There were 3,063 New Listings in October which was down 10.5% from September (3,424), but up 6.3% from October of 2014.
At 2,717, October Closed Sales fell 9.7% from September’s 3,010, and were up 9.2% from October of 2014’s 2,487.
October Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 2,996 were up slightky at 0.8% from September’s 2,971, and fared20.8% better than October of 2014’s 2,480 total.
The Average Sale Price in October of $360,000 was up significantly at $11,000 over September’s $349,000, and also up almost $25,000 over October of 2014’s $335,600.
The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn for the month of October2015 reported:
390 Active Listings (Sept was 454)
143 New Listings (Sept was 228 )
142 Pending Sales (Sept was 181)
139 Closed Sales (Sept was 181 )
Average Sale Price for October of $614,600 (Sept/$574,800. )
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.
Last week, Nov 2-8, Lake Oswego we saw 5 New properties enter the market, 18 move to Pending status, and 5 “Closed”/Sold. This is still a Sellers’ Market, and/but, Buyers have a bit of an advantage right now (better than any other time of year in a Sellers’ Market) as Sellers want to be “done” & focusing on holidays, finalizing by the end of the year, and other fun things. On another note: Interest rates are rumored to be potentially rising in December…… Sounds like a Good time to buy if you’ve been on the fence. Something to think about ; )

This is the first week in quite a long while that I have seen such a small lineup of new listings. The mad rush of inventory that we had through the summer, and into the early fall, is now ending. As the winter begins to approach, and we hunker down with warm drinks and jackets, we’ll also see the real estate market slow down.
Hope everybody has some wonderful plans for turkey day!

Our teal pumpkinFirst of all, Happy Halloween! What a great, fun holiday. At my house we are geared up. We have pumpkins carved, seeds toasted, candy at hand, and plans to play poker around the dining room table while we answer the door. The forecast is stormy with the rain lightening up just in time for the Trick or Treaters. Let’s hope the forecast is right. I really love having kids come to the door. We are giving out glow sticks as well as candy as we honor the new concept of putting out a teal pumpkin and offering alternatives to candy. We have LOTS of glow sticks because we poker players plan to be heavily adorned.
I think Halloween is the informal kick off of the holiday season. It is just weeks until Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. So I want to take a moment to talk about what that means if you are selling or buying a home right now.
Buyers are out there. My listings are continuing to get showings and I am currently working with several ready buyers. Inventory is lower, so houses on the market are getting noticed. Interest rates are also low. In my experience interest rates tend to be the lowest of the year in the winter. If you are buying, these components make this a really great time of year to buy. I also think this is the best time of year to do a home inspection. If the house has water issues, they will be obvious. Last, if you are buying, a house that looks good on a rainy day will be spectacular on a sunny day.
For those who are selling I want to talk about holiday decorations. I do think decorating for the holidays enhances the marketability of a house. I showed a house yesterday that was beautifully decorated for the fall. They had wreaths on the door and last summers flower pots were over flowing with silk leaves in the colors of fall and mini pumpkins. We were all smiling and commenting on how pretty they were as I worked to open the lock box. We entered the house ready to be impressed. But I also want to caution that the decorations that are specific to the holiday need to come down within a week of the passing of the holiday. A Christmas tree in April is a big NO!
So Happy Halloween to one and to all. May the day be festive with more treats than tricks!

Last week was gorgeous here in Lake Oswego. The fall colors and the dramatic sunrises and sunsets really made it a wonderful week. Real Estate also continued to move right along. Yes, things have slowed, but there is NEVER a time of year when homes are not being bought and sold. Last week in LO we had 11 new listings, 16 pending sales, and 10 closed sales. I expect the next couple of weeks to be very healthy for selling as buyers work to time their purchase so that they can move into their new home before the holidays.

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.
October 12-18, Lake Oswego we saw 8 New properties enter the market, 18 move to Pending status, and 17 “Closed”/Sold. Its interesting to note that of the 16 that come up as “New”, 8 of those were not truly new, but rather “refreshed” and therefore not included below.
Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS for last week:

2 Walking WoodsYou likely do what I do as you drive around town: look at houses and enjoy the changing decorations and landscaping through the seasons. For me, there are always houses that stand out. There is just something about them. Well, this is one of those houses.
Located at 2 Walking Woods, this house sits on a very prominent lot that looks out over the neighborhood. It’s at the corner of 2 streets that are the focus of your attention as you drive the curves of the road in Mountain Park. The style of the house is classic Cape Cod. It’s a style that you’ve seen in movies and in magazines and is just really attractive. The curb appeal of this house is a 10+.
Beveled and leaded entry doorsWith 4116 square feet, there are 4 bedrooms, a den with a closet that could be a 5th bedroom, living, dining, family rooms and an amazing vaulted bonus room with a wet bar. There are 3 fireplaces. The master is huge! The house was built with quality in 1979. The doors are solid core and the insulated windows are wood, not vinyl. The entry has stunning leaded glass doors and a sweeping curved staircase that is ideal for family photos. Over the years the house has been updated with a newer kitchen that features a cooking island, cherry cabinets and granite counters. There are shining hardwood floors throughout most of the main level.
Then there is the yard. The landscaping is superb. Attractively designed with a large covered deck, there a paths through arbors to water features and an abundance of blue berries, peach trees and pineapple guavas. The lot is 13,410 square feet.
This home is located in Mountain Park. Super convenient to both I-5 and 217, you are just minutes to shopping and dining. Mountain Park has one of the finest recreation centers in the metro area with swimming pools for exercise and for families, a gym, and over 15 miles of walking paths.
Chef’s KitchenPriced at $629,000, this house is a delight. I think subconsciously most people want to live in a house that when their friends come over they say “Wow”. This is that kind of a house. She is a grand lady.
Please call me today if you would like more information or if you would like to make an appointment to see her for yourself.

Since the start of school it has felt, to me, like the market has slowed a bit as compared to the hot market we had in June, July and August. Last week’s activity in Lake Oswego brought us 14 new listings, 21 pending sales, and 10 sold/closed sales. This week my business has ramped back up and I have been hearing similar comments from other agents. It will be interesting to see if the numbers are up next week.
