ARTmart is Back!

Lake Oswego is a very art oriented town. From the Gallery Without Walls, to the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts, you have art in your life is you live in or regularly visit Lake Oswego.

A new tradition has been added to Lake Oswego’s legacy, ARTmart. Did you know that the Arts Council of Lake Oswego maintains a gallery space at 510 First Street in downtown LO? I’ve been to a couple of exhibits there. ARTmart is an exhibit in this gallery space, but it’s unique. It is a community event that encourages citizens to donate art that they are no longer displaying in their homes or businesses. The art is offered for sale with the proceeds going to fund outreach and education programs. Any unsold art is donated to Community Warehouse in Portland with the mission of providing art work to neighbors in need.

This is a great chance to clean out your own collection and then find something new to treasure. I love it!

You can donate art through January 14th. The exhibit runs through January 31st. Exhibit hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11-5.

Art makes life better and this is a chance to help the community while also helping yourself.

Market Activity Dec 16, 2019-Jan 5, 2020

This market activity report is extremely encouraging. During the slowest part of the year for real estate sales, Lake Oswego had 26 houses go into pending status and 38 closed sales. Seriously, these are people who have busy lives and the holidays compounds that. Yet, they were out buying houses. That is a lot of activity over the holidays. Then notice that only 6 properties came onto the market during that same time period. I think this explains why 11 of the 26 pending sales had been on the market for over 100 days. 2 had been on the market for over 400 days! The inventory is low and that gave new life to some older listings. It is a great time to put your house on the market. Buyers are out there and houses are selling. Nice!

Wishes of Peace

Dianne and I wish you and yours the happiest holiday ever!  Enjoy those things you treasure most, indulge in your fondest memories and go ahead… have that food that you usually do not. We wish for you that deep feeling of contentment that comes from the memories or the people or the combination of it all…  depending on your circumstances. Most of all we wish you a heart filled with a cherished, peaceful feeling. Maybe one from childhood where you could hear the big people still talking in the other room and knew you could fall asleep with all things well in the world. Whichever holiday you celebrate, we want you to know we truly appreciate you and will be thinking of you till we return from a little break. We’ll be back here with all the news and content we love to bring you about Lake Oswego after the New Year begins!

See you soon. May Peace reign in your life this holiday season~

Linda & Dianne

 

News & Notes ~ Nov 2019 Numbers

Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (November 2019) and how Lake Oswego fits in to this picture just below.

Inventory is about the same as last month with a wide selection of homes still on the market in this now-holiday season. The biggest news in the overall numbers for November as compared with October is that almost everything is pretty nearly exactly the same, or at least not much has changed. The main exception would be the New & Closed numbers being down, but that is to be expected as we moved from October into the holiday season.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, November, 2019:

  • There were 2,118  New Listings in November 2019 which was down 8.3%  from November of 2018’s 2,310, and  30.9% from the previous month/October’s 3,064.
  • At 2,191, November 2019’s Closed Sales rose at 2.2% over November 2018’s 2,144, and fell 15.3% from the previous month/October 2019’s total of 2,588.
  • At 2,274, November 2019’s Pending Sales rose 19.4% over November 2018’s 1,904, and fell 11.7% from the previous month/October 2019’s total of 2,575.
  • The Average Sale Price in November 2019 of $462,600 up $13,700 from last year/November 2018’s $448,900, and up $1,200 from the previous month/October 2019’s $461,400.  
  • The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in November 2019 of $415,000 was up from last year/November 2018’s $391,400 by $23,600, and up $4,500 from the previous month/October 2019’s $410,500.

A Partnership

In this sweet time between Thanksgiving and Christmas I find myself reflecting on so many good things. One of those good things is my clients, both past and present. Over the years I’ve kept a note book where I write down names and addresses, but also personal information such as children’s names and pets. Then each December I send out a holiday greeting that I snail mail and hand address. I do it this way for a very specific reason. We learn in different ways, but writing is a method of memorizing. So each year, as I go through my note book and hand address envelopes, I find myself remembering people and reflecting on their lives and how long they have been in their homes. This year it has also lead me to think about how I feel like with each and every one of my clients I have formed a partnership.

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about Realtors and how Realtors work. I would estimate that for every hour you spend with your Realtor, that Realtor is working about 4 hours behinds the scenes without you. We do a lot of research, correspondence, investigating, and so much more. In turn I think it is about the same for my clients. When they are not with me I think that they too are doing research, correspondence, and investigating. Together we are working towards the same goal, a successful real estate experience and transaction.

I also think the key to a good partnership is communication and listing. Sometimes we just need to quit talking and pay attention to what the other person is saying. The listening is so important. I need to understand where you are coming from. I need to HEAR you.

I really value these partnerships. Twice in the last week I have had past clients let me know that they really appreciate what I do for them. Such music to my ears! I know it’s been a good partnership and that we will work together again in the future.

So I guess I’m counting my blessings and feel grateful for such good partnerships.

Linda and I have really worked on being the best Realtors we can be for our clients. She and I would love to be of help to you if you have any questions or concerns when it comes to real estate. Feel free to reach out to either one of us. We’d love to be your real estate partner.

Market Activity Dec 2-8, 2019

Last week in Lake Oswego we had 6 properties come onto the market, 7 move to pending status, and 14 closed sales. What I found interesting was that for 7 pending sales, 4 sold really fast, in just a few days, while the other 3 were all properties that had been on the market for an extended period of time. Just an anomaly that I found interesting.
