Big Zone Change

Last year the Oregon legislature passed two zoning laws that are going to have big impact on every town in Oregon that has a population of over 10,000 people.

House bill 2001 requires towns with more than 10,000 to allow “middle housing” in neighborhoods that have previously been zoned for single family dwellings. Middle housing is duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes and cottage clusters. Duplexes must be allowed on every lot where single family housing is allowed. The other options have some restrictions. The State Department of Land Conservation and Development is currently working to determine what this means and what cities must do to be in compliance.

House bill 2003 requires cities to study future housing needs and to develop strategies to meet those needs. Lake Oswego is required to do this study and provide a housing needs assessment by 2023.

Obviously this is super controversial. The need for more housing is evident and it is good the State is working to provide more housing options. It could be a win-win for homeowners who want some rental income or want to provide affordable housing to friends or family members. But the flip side is that it will have an impact on the character of our neighborhoods. It will also create greater density that will put a strain on city infrastructure.

For more information visit the City of Lake Oswego website, www.lakeosweago.ciy and search for file “PP 19-0008”, or call Erik Oson, Senior Planner, at 503-697-6524.

Market Activity Feb 10-16, 2020

Last week in Lake Oswego there were 7 new listings, 21 properties that went into pending status, and 11 sold/closed sales. What stands out for me is the Days on the Market for the pending sales. Several were on the market for extremely extended periods of time. The average days on the market for this group is 160 days. Now, knowing this, look at how few houses came onto the market compared to houses that received accepted offers: 7 new listings and 21 pending sales. The inventory is currently lower than the demand. This is motivating buyers to look at the houses that have been around for a while and is generating offers. It’s a great time to list your house for sale!

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

News & Notes ~ Jan 2020 Numbers

Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (January 2020) and how Lake Oswego fits in to this picture just below.

No doubt about it, Inventory is still low. So, not as many houses on the market as we enter the new year, but word is the number of Buyers out there right now is up. Generally that means sale prices will continue to see healthy appreciation as Buyers compete for a smaller number of homes. We’ll just have to wait and see what this year holds!  That said, New Listings are up a whopping 116.9% from December to January, so we may see our “Leveling-out” trend continue as far as prices go if we also continue to see that Inventory rise. Areas in & around Gresham, Oregon City, Milwaukie/Clackamas, Beaverton & Hillsboro, are the strongest as far as Appreciation goes.

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

  • There were 2,754  New Listings in January 2020 which decreased 9.6%  from January of 2019’s 3,048, BUT rose 116.9% from the previous month/December‘s 1,270.
  • At 1,663, January 2020’s Closed Sales were up 14.6% over January 2019’s 1,451, and down 24.9% from the previous month/December 2019’s total of 2,213. (***Low activity during holidays means not as many “Closing” yet in January.)
  • At 2,271, January 2020’s Pending Sales rose 11.1% over January  2019’s 2,045, and rose 28.2% from the previous month/December 2019’s total of 1,772.
  • The Average Sale Price in January 2020 of $463,000 up $27,400 from last year/January 2019’s $435,600, and stayed steady related to the previous month/December 2019’s $463,000.  
  • The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in January 2020 of $406,000 was up from last year/January 2019’s $384,900 by $21,100, and down just $1,000 from the previous month/December 2019’s $405,000.

    • Average Sale Price for January: $712,600  (Dec $732,400)
      • 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.
    •  117 Average Days on the Market   (Dec 109)

The Importance of Great Photography

In today’s real estate market, pretty much 100% of buyers start with the Internet. There are numerous websites that are popular, but all of them upload the information about your home from the same source, the Regional Multiple Listing Service. This data is generated by the Realtor you hire to market your home. Part of that marketing is taking pictures. Today, the RMLS allows up to 32 photos. That’s a lot of pictures.

Here are a few tips to prepare your home for photography.

1. Declutter and remove personal mementos. This is something that I have stressed on numerous occasions, but it just can not be said enough. Clutter decreases value. In photos, it makes a room look small and cramped.

2. Remove seasonal decorations, particularly right now. If you still have holiday decorations up and they appear in photos, it will make your home look like it’s been on the market for two months, even if it’s just now being listed.

3. Outside, hide the garbage cans and the bikes.

4. Trim back the landscaping to benefit seeing windows when exterior pictures are taken, and also to let as much light as possible into the house for the interior photos.

5. Use a Realtor who hires a professional photographer. I’ll admit, I think I’m pretty good at taking pictures. I am a hobby artist and pride myself on knowing angles and directions to photograph, but I can not match the skill of a professional photographer. It’s more than taking the photos. It’s also having the best camera and lens, along with editing. I using an amazing photographer who has a background in graphic design. She sets her camera up on a tripod and then takes multiple photos of the same shot, but using different light exposures. She then edits the photos, combining them, to get the absolute best light exposure.

6. Lots of photographers, not the person I prefer, set a limited window of time, usually about 45 minutes or so. In other words, they won’t have time to open drapes or turn on lights. So be prepared to have your home “photo ready” when they arrive. This means turning on every light in every room. Open all of the drapes to let light in. Consider building a fire in the fireplace.

7. Every property deserves professional photography. No matter the price point, the photos are important.

The photos featured in this post were from a listing I recently had in Mountain Park. This house sold on the first day for $10,000 over the asking price. I hope you can see why. It was a gorgeous house, but the photos…just, wow.

I hope you have found this information helpful. As always, thanks for reading the blotter.

Oswego Heritage Council

I am a big fan of history and I really appreciate it when it is well preserved and appreciated. Lake Oswego history is quite fascinating. The town was originally founded as a result of the discovery of iron ore in hills where Iron Mountain Drive now runs. The ore was brought down out of the mountain, loaded onto barges and taken across the lake to the Willamette River where it was smelted into usable iron.

While LO never did actually become “the Pittsburgh of the West”, it did get it’s start as a company town that evolved into a vacation town for folks in Portland, and eventually into what it is today with a population of just under 40,000 people.

Preserving the history of the town is the focus of the Oswego Heritage Council. Located as 398 10th Street in downtown LO, the council is located in an elegant formal residence that houses a museum, meeting rooms and a formal garden. There is a permanent exhibit as well as rotating exhibits. Currently being shown is the Bickner and Woodward family collection of photographs from 1919-1921. The museum is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10-3. It is free.

The council is a 501 (c)(3) non profit. It is financed by the efforts of the council itself. In keeping with it historic mission, these efforts are primarily well known and respected annual events that include a classic car and boat show in August and a home and garden tour in June.

The facility is also available for rent. It’s suitable for meetings, luncheons, and small weddings.

As always, thanks for reading,
Dianne
