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:

Market Activity Sept 23-29, 2019

Real estate sales continue to hold strong. Last week new listings were just 12 while pending sales were 18 and closed sales were 20. This is simply a really good time to sell a house with properties selling at a rate that is greater than the number of new listings coming onto the market.

It’s also a really good time to buy a house. Interest rates are down and there is lots of excellent inventory.

Market Activity Feb 4-10, 2019

Snowy temperatures have given way to 40 degrees and lots of rain. I kinda miss more snow, but I’m grateful for the rain. We need it to stay lush and green this spring and summer.

Market activity last week in Lake Oswego felt more normal than the week before. We had 16 properties come onto the market, 18 properties that went into pending status, and 8 sold/closed homes. What I am watching as we head into the spring market are those pending sales. Strong pending sales, which I think of as being near the same number as new listings, were well balanced.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

Lake Oswego’s Own ‘La Provence’!

There are so many reasons to choose to live in Lake Oswego, not the least of which is the quality of amenities offered here in this little hamlet outside of Portland, Oregon.  A small-ish community can often lack the cultural and foodie resources found in a larger city, but here in Lake Oswego, we got lucky.  Lake Oswego has the Lake Theater & Cafe for movies & live music events, as well as the Lake Oswego Center for the Arts which is a 2-stage venue for plays & musicals. Right across the street from that is George Rogers Park which hosts various festivals and concerts all summer long, along with Foothills Park, Westlake Park, Movie Nights and Farmers Markets in Millennium Park Plaza… on & on. Then there are the myriad restaurants & shops found off of State Street as well as Boones Ferry Road (kind of the two “main drags” of Lake Oswego). Lake Oswego does not want for places to obtain delicious food & wine, fancy or practical clothing, gifts…well, you get the idea. There are abundant resources in Lake Oswego for a cozy bedroom community.

Diane and I have put a spotlight on a businesses here & there through the years, and there are so many, but today I just wanted to say a few words about La Provence, restaurant & bakery. I remember discovering it when I first moved to Lake Oswego around 1999, and I came to make it a staple for family dinners and client lunches. Its also the place I go for a special treat for my French husband who is also a chef and rather particular in his taste for treats!  Alain Machtelinckx, Didier Blanc Gonet, and Pascal Tisseur opened it in 1996 a few blocks away from its current location at 16350 Boones Ferry Road when they could not find the  kind of authentic, rustic artisan bread they grew up on, and decided to do something about it. They are dedicated to the food they serve and the ambience they provide. They really try to instill a real old-world feeling into La Provence by doing things themselves… including making the tables and draperies in-house! From macarons to fine cuisine, everything is a reflection of their initial desire to bring the food they so loved in France to Oregon.  Nowadays they have 8 restaurants around the Portland area, but Lake Oswego will always be “home”.   As I mentioned, La Provence moved to a newer and larger restaurant space in Lake Oswego a few years back that is a recommended destination for anyone who loves good food and pleasant environs.

When you have the chance you ought to stop in for a pastry, lunch or dinner!  Lake Oswego is so lucky to have this gem. Here is a link to their main website where you can click on Lake Oswego or explore the other locations:  La Provence

As well as a link to their Lake Oswego location’s menu: La Provence Menu

Bon Apetit!

…How Safe IS it in Lake Oswego?

Photo from Lake Oswego Review

Lots of people in Lake Oswego don’t lock their doors, or worry too much about locking their cars when, say, visiting a friend or shopping, or stopping for a latte (don’t tell anyone).  Its a little-known fact nowadays (since they changed the name of it to Police Log) that we named the Property Blotter 11 years ago after the Lake Oswego Review’s “Police Blotter”.  They’ve long published the unvarnished goings on as reported by the police. Now, there is some real stuff here & there, but by & large and it is hilarious to read for its lack of any real substance …Kids having a late night party while mom & dad were out on a date night, window washers reported for breaking into a house, regular folks reported for loitering while just waiting for their friend to show up for a meeting at their home,  dogs stealing chew toys…you get the picture. Its one of the reasons people move here.

Now its official. Lake Oswego was just named: Safest City in Oregon.

News & Notes ~ Year-End Dec 2018

Hello 2019!!!  Every year we get to take a look at how the numbers shook out for the prior year by digging into the December report, 1st through the 31st. The winter/holiday months always bring some cooling, and we also get to look at full year-to-year comparisons at this juncture.

Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (Dec) as well as YTD numbers and how Lake Oswego fits in to the picture just below.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for Portland Metro Area, December 2018:

  • ***New Listings for the entire year were: 41,287, an increase of 1.2% over 2017.

– At 1,846, December Closed Sales cooled  21.4% from December 2017’s 2,350, and also 13.9 % from the previous month/Nov 2018’s total of 2,144.  ***This is the coolest December for Closed Sales since 2013 when the total was 1,821.

  • ***Closed Sales for the entire year were: 29,771, a decrease of 5.9% from 2017.

-December’s Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 1,599 are down 9.0% down from December of 2017’s 1,757, and 16.0% from the previous month/Nov 2018’s total of  1,904.

  • ***Pending Sales for the entire year were: 29,809, a decrease of 4.9% from 2017.

  • ***YTD Average Sale Price for the entire year was: $452,400 up 5.5% from $428,700 in Dec 2017.

-I am including Median Sale Price in 2019. So, for reference, when we do this again next year, the Median Sale Price (price smack dab in the middle) in December 2018 was: $390,000. Up from $380,000 in Dec 2017.

  • ***YTD Median Sale Price for the entire year was: $400,000, up 5.3% from 2017’s $379,900.

Greetings Property Blotter Readers!

Happy 2019!  OK, Dianne and I are getting back to “normal” now, and this is the first one-week report of the year for Lake Oswego.

I removed 11 properties showing as “New” that had actually been “refreshed”, so these numbers below are real.  ***I’ll also have the much anticipated 2018 “Year-End” numbers in the News & Notes report for you this week.

There are 189 homes for sale in Lake Oswego right now. Last week 9 New properties entered the market, 8 moved to Pending status, and 18 were “Closed”/Sold.
