Where did the Lake go?
For the last 2 years the City of Lake Oswego has had a major infrastructure project going on: the replacement of the aging and inadequate sewer interceptor line that ran along the bottom of the lake. The line is about 9000 feet and was both too small, causing over-flow when it reached capacity in heavy rain, and prone to damage in the event of an earthquake. Replacement of the system has happened in stages with the second stage now winding down and the third stage about to begin. Completion of the third stage will complete the project.
Sometime in September the water level of the lake will be drawn down. Remember that the water level is controlled at a dam that is located at the East end. When the water is drawn down, the lake will look almost completely empty with the exception of the very deepest areas. Mostly, it will look empty. This will be the status of the lake until next March when the lake will be allowed to refill. The new water will come from rain runoff, the Tualatin River, and area streams and creeks. The goal is to have the lake re-filled in plenty of time for summer recreation.
I’ve lived in Lake Oswego long enough to recall the days when the lake level was lowered regularly. It was part of normal management of the lake to drain the water out for a few weeks every other winter. This allowed water-front property owners to do needed repairs on their sea walls and boat houses. Then, about 10 or so years ago, the decision was made to not drain the lake on any regular basis. Which means that it has now been quite a few years since it was drained and that means it is going to come as quite a shock to local residents who haven’t been paying attention.
It is my experience that following the draining of the lake not only does the lake look better (from all of the work that gets done around the lake when the water level is down), but the water quality also tends to be much improved. Swimming in the lake next summer will be great!
So don’t be surprised when the lake is drained in a month or so. The water level will be restored.

Featured Property: 16884 Summer Place
I am proud to introduce you to my new listing at 16884 Summer Place. Located in the Summer Woods neighborhood in Lake Grove, it was built in 1995. Summer Woods is an interesting area. It’s in Lake Grove, so surrounded by older homes with some in-fill new construction, but this neighborhood has about 75 houses all built at the same time. So the neighborhood itself has a much newer feel. It is also super convenient with quick access to I-5, Hwy 217, and all sorts of shopping and dining.
This house sits on a magnificent lot with greenspace on two sides. It’s on a dead-end lane, so there is very little traffic. If you want quiet, privacy and a decent yard, this is one of the few newer homes that can actually boast all of these characteristics.
The house itself has been nearly all remodeled in the last few years. I know, it’s only 15 years old to begin with. But in 15 years styles change quite a bit. So while the house is still relatively new, the decor, including counters, cabinets, sinks, and appliances, are all nearly brand new. There is 2911 square feet of finished living area that includes 4 bedrooms plus a bonus room. The kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The woodwork and trim is lovely with crown moldings and attention to detail. The yard has been professionally landscaped with patio dining as well as an outdoor deck that is ideally suited for entertaining. There are sprinklers in the yard. And, yes, on these hot summer days there is brand new central air conditioning.
I know that Realtors sound pretty hokey when they say things like “Hurry, this one won’t last.” But I do mean that about this house. I follow the market and know that even in today’s economy the good ones sell quickly. The combination of size, age, condition, and setting for this house is truly special. And at $524,900 it is very well priced. I honestly think this house will sell quickly.
If you’d like to make arrangements to see this house, please give me a call at 503-803-6298, or e-mail me at 
jdgregoire@earthlink.net . And, as always, feel free to contact myself or Linda for any of your real estate needs.

News & Notes
~News & Notes~
- Mortgage Rates fell further last week from the already-lowest level in decades. Rates for a 30-year conventional loan are now hovering at between 4.5% & 4.75%, even with an increase today of .25 basis points according to Pat Goodell of Academy Mortgage. Slower economic growth last week was good for mortgage rates and negative for the stock market. This is actually an interesting point to note- When you see the stock market take a dip, check in on mortgage rates… they will almost always be improving during such periods.
- The deadline for closing on those transactions taking advantage of the tax credits was finally extended to September 30th. So, that’s very good news for all those who were pushing up against the June 30th closing deadline & not quite making it. I love second-chances… they’re so American!
- Woodstove Reminder – Have a wood stove? Planning to buy or sell a home with one? Note that beginning August 1st, 2010, in an effort to control emissions from smoke, when selling a home you will be required to remove the wood stove if it is “uncertified” by the DEQ. Here is a link for more information: Woodstoves in Oregon
- Lake Oswego Pricing Snapshot– Today there are 74 Detached Residences for sale in Lake Oswego priced at $350,000 or under. There are 144 priced between $350,000 and $550,000. Between $550,000 and 1 million there are 206 properties. And at 1 million and over there are 105 to choose from.
