You can help to make the season a little brighter for those who are less fortunate by participating in a couple of different programs being offered here in Lake Oswego.
270,000 people per month eat meals from emergency food boxes provided by the Oregon Food Bank. Of those, 92,000 are children. Your donations are important, and needed. The City of Lake Oswego is accepting non-perishable food now through December 28th at City Hall, 380 A Avenue.
In addition, the Lake Oswego Fire Department and Library are conducting a Christmas Toy Drive. Drop off new, unwrapped toys at the Main Fire Station (300 B Avenue) or the Lake Oswego Library (706 4th Street) between now and 12pm on December 21st.
With a little effort, we can all make the season brighter.
And the beat goes on…
Activity continues steadily with 9 New on the market, 14 Pending and 10 Sold during the last week.

Here are some Market Notes for You~
You’ve probably heard that market activity all around Portland is picking up, and Dianne and I are certainly experiencing it. Here is some recent data for you on the overall Portland area, as well as specific Lake Oswego/West Linn (RMLS lumps them together) activity:

- “This was the best October since 2006 for Pending and Closed sales.”"
- The average sale price year-to-date ($273,400) rose 3.7% over the same period last year,
- ***AND… Total time on the market has dropped by 21% from 144 to 102 days.
For our Property Blotter readers, the combined area of Lake Oswego and West Linn reported:

The chilly air and even Thankgiving Weekend aren’t stopping real estate activity in Lake Oswego! It is a myth that real estate does not sell in the winter. Though there were not many houses on tour Sunday, I had tons of traffic through my Devon Lane listing & our phones are ringing, as they do every holiday season. As the report shows, we have our usual winter slowing, but activity is steady. There are some really great homes out there, and people are on the hunt!
Last week there were 6 New on the market, 12 Pending and 9 Sold:

On this Thanksgiving Weekend there are TWO houses being held Open according to RMLS.
One is a listing of mine on Devon Lane. Stop by and say Hi! We have afternoon clearing predicted, so Mt. Hood and Mt Adams… not to mention the entire valley will be on display : )

Dianne and I want to take a moment to thank all of our loyal Property Blotter readers and clients for the confidence and support for our work that you’ve shown through the years. On a day like today, we are humbled and grateful for so many things, and YOU rank high on the list : )
Sometimes I go on and get all sappy with you on Thanksgiving (that’s just me…. I get emotional when I think of all the things I have to be grateful for!), but this year I’m going to let someone else pull the heartstrings. I’m attachiing a photo and poem from my friend and poet, Sean Reynolds:
I wish you all;
Pale hills under a yellow moon
amber leaves on dark green lawns
a welcomed chill in the morning air
cartoon balloons and sweet potatoes
with little marshmallows and football
…
and family and children’s fingers adorned
with olives and naps on the sofa after
wine and pie and laughter—sr
May each of you experience a day of Peace, Abundance, and Love.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Linda & Dianne
