Congratulations Linda and Serge!
I want to extend a huge, happy congratulations to Linda Rossi and Serge Ouattara. They were married yesterday surrounded by their many friends and loved ones.
I don’t remember exactly when I met Linda, but I know it has been at least 10 years. She is just the most wonderful person. She and I have shared our real estate journey, but we have also shared our personal journey. We were Realtors during the great recession, we both faced serious health issues, we both raised sons who are nearly the same age, we have seen each other stay steadfast and strong. Serge came into Linda’s life about 3 years ago (forgive me Linda if I don’t have the time lines exactly right). From the day she met Serge there was a spark of something special. Serge is a wonderful man and he has brought joy into Linda’s life. I am just thrilled for the 
two of them.
So congratulations Linda and Serge. Here’s wishing you a lifetime of friendship, love, and laughter.
Market Activity Nov 30-Dec 6, 2015
Last week in Lake Oswego there were 9 new listings, 14 houses that went into pending status, and 17 closed sales. Yes, this is about a third of what happens in June, but it is still a very active market. I expect to see lots of closed sales in the next week or so as people make the move to their new home before the holidays.

2nd Annual Community Treasure Hunt
60 Unique Doves are being hidden around Lake Oswego. From December 1st to 23rd, they will be hidden in the Gallery Without Walls, in City Parks, and in local businesses. Each dove is a unique, hand-made design that is made from fired porcelain and imprinted with vintage crochet, blue glaze. The artist is Dorothy Steele. Each dove is signed, dated and numbered.
I would love to find one! Perhaps I’ll see you out and about as the treasure hunt ensues. Good luck!
Market Activity Nov 9-15, 2015
People often ask me if this is a good time of year to be buying or selling a house. The answer is yes! Interest rates are typically very low in the winter. People who are selling at this time of year are motivated. Many companies are transferring their executives to close out their fiscal year. And a house that is beautiful in the winter will be gorgeous in the spring! This past week Lake Oswego had 12 new listings, 15 houses going into pending status with accepted offers, and 11 closed sales.

News & Notes ~ October 2015 Numbers
Here are the October numbers for Portland and the Lake Oswego/West Linn areas (RMLS lumps them together).
According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, October, 2015:
- There were 3,063 New Listings in October which was down 10.5% from September (3,424), but up 6.3% from October of 2014.
- At 2,717, October Closed Sales fell 9.7% from September’s 3,010, and were up 9.2% from October of 2014’s 2,487.
- October Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 2,996 were up slightky at 0.8% from September’s 2,971, and fared 20.8% better than October of 2014’s 2,480 total.
- The Average Sale Price in October of $360,000 was up significantly at $11,000 over September’s $349,000, and also up almost $25,000 over October of 2014’s $335,600.
The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn for the month of October 2015 reported:
- 390 Active Listings (Sept was 454)

- Average Sale Price for October of $614,600 (Sept/$574,800. )
- 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.
- Average Time on the Market: 73 Days (Sept was 59)
