Well, it’s Friday on the forward cusp of Labor Day Weekend! I’m cheating a bit by excerpting from Wikipedia (below) regarding the history of Labor Day, if you’re interested.
Dianne and I have been running like crazy all summer long, and I am now, like so many people, getting ready for a big bash out on the deck tonight! My advice is for you to enjoy this weekend and REALLY take some time off. Unlike other holidays, where people with extra time off work tend to congregate somewhat guiltily around the barbeque on what is a more somber, reflective day (Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Presidents Day, etc…) Labor Day is for YOU! It is actually time off for the purpose of enjoying time off!
Now… I am not saying if you find the home of your dreams, that Dianne or I will not be there for you (we are neve too busy for our Property Blotter readers : ) BUT, please enjoy yourself this weekend. That is an order (you have official permission)!
Here is what Wikipedia says about Labor Day:
Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September, that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. It was first nationally recognized in 1894 to placate unionists following the Pullman Strike. With the decline in union membership, the holiday is generally viewed as a time for barbeques and the end of summer vacations.[1]
Labor Day has come to be celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer. In high society, Labor Day is (or was) considered the last day of the year when it is fashionable to wear white[8] or seersucker.[9][10]
In 1882, Matthew Maguire, a machinist, first proposed the holiday while serving as secretary of the CLU (Central Labor Union) of New York.[2] Others argue that it was first proposed by Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor in May 1882,[3] after witnessing the annual labour festival held in Toronto, Canada.[4] Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday on February 21, 1887. By the time it became a federal holiday in 1894, thirty states officially celebrated Labor Day.[3]
Following the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the Pullman Strike, the United States Congress unanimously voted to approve rush legislation that made Labor Day a national holiday; President Grover Clevelandsigned it into law a mere six days after the end of the strike.[1] The September date originally chosen by the CLU of New York and observed by many of the nation’s trade unions for the past several years was selected rather than the more widespread International Workers’ Day because Cleveland was concerned that observance of the latter would be associated with the nascent Communist, Syndicalist and Anarchist movements that, though distinct from one another, had rallied to commemorate the Haymarket Affair in International Workers’ Day.[5] All U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the territories have made it a statutory holiday.
In U.S. sports, Labor Day marks the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons. NCAA teams usually play their first games the weekend of Labor Day, with the NFL traditionally playing their first game the Thursday following Labor Day. The Southern 500 NASCAR auto race was held that day from 1950 to 1983 in Darlington, South Carolina. AtIndianapolis Raceway Park, the National Hot Rod Association hold their finals to the U.S. Nationals drag race.
In the U.S., most school districts that started summer vacation 1-2 weeks into June will resume school the day after this day (see First Day of School), while schools that had summer vacation begin on the Saturday before Memorial Day in late May will have already been in session since late August. However this tradition is changing as many school districts end 1-2 weeks into June and begin mid-August.
Here is last week’s real estate activity for Lake Oswego:
20 newly listed properties
17 properties with offers accepted
12 properties that closed and are officially sold.
I would also like to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, a great man who 50 years ago showed us the meaning of freedom. He was a truly great American.

Enjoy!
Lake Oswego has 25 specific neighborhoods, each with its own neighborhood association. The City encouraged this organization to allow specific areas of town to have effective communication for decision making and planning. Today I want to feature Holly Orchard.
Holly Orchard is conveniently located. People who live in this area have quick access to I-5, Hwy 217, Boones Ferry Rd, and Country Club Rd. Costco and Winco are about 5 minutes away. Yet, it’s a quiet area. The boundaries are Carmen Dr on the South, Botticelli on the North, Fosberg Rd on the West, and Hotspur on the East. This neighborhood is small in comparison to others in Lake Oswego. The by-laws of Holly Orchard were adopted in 1988.
Some Highlights
The first house I ever listed and sold when I got my real estate license in 1987 was in Holly Orchard, so the neighborhood holds a special place in my heart.
The oldest house in Lake Oswego is in Holly Orchard. The Waters Carmen house was built in 1855 and is still owned by his descendants.
One of Lake Oswego’s few gated communities is in Holly Orchard, Taylors Crest. Not only does this development have gorgeous, luxury homes, but its a lively community with a swimming pool.
Holly Orchard hosted one of the Portland area’s first street of dreams in 1980.
Real Estate in Holly Orchard
Being a small neighborhood, there are not many homes for sale at any given time. Currently on the market there is one condo, one townhouse, and 3 detached, single-family homes. The values range from the 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath condo that is listed for $235,000, to the luxury, 1980 Street of Dreams house that is listed for $749,900. Along with the 5 active listings, there are 4 houses in pending status with accepted offers that have not yet closed, and 24 homes that have sold in the last 12 months.
Street of Dreams then and now
Sundew was home to the Steet of Dreams in 1980 and 4394 Sundew Ct is currently for sale. Listed with Rebecca Walter of Redfin (rebecca.walter@redfin.com, 503-255-2431), this house was a showcase for luxury and the latest in design ideas of its day. It has 4881 square feet that includes 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The floorplan is centered around a central atrium that floods the house with natural light. Priced at $749,900, the house will be held open this Saturday, August 24th, from 1 to 4. For specifics about this property, click here.
So why would someone want to consider living in Holly Orchard? Because it is in a superb location for convenience, yet it’s quiet. The house options include affordable condos and townhouses, but also include a luxury, gated community, as well as the exceptional designs of Street of Dreams living.
For more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
