Giving
We’re all focusing on the holidays right now and all that goes along with that, so I thought it might be a good idea to take a look at things we might be wanting to include on our to-do lists & consider taking care of before the end of the year. Namely…Giving! This is the Celebrating & Giving time of year, and, many want to think ahead about tax time as well. If you’re going to give anyway…. this is definitely the time to do it!
Here are some worthy ideas for your consideration:
- In the community of Lake Oswego, there are many organizations doing fantastic work. Click Here for information on a variety of Lake Oswego-based non-profits that could use your help.
- Here’s a great resource site to help yopu evaluate the most worthy recipients of your donations based on their research: The Portland “Give Guide”
- One of the things that sets Lake Oswego apart is its committment to the arts, and the availability and visibility of art all through the year and on its very streets. If art is important to you, consider donating to the Arts Council.
- Speaking of giving, I know from my days in a Lake Oswego Schools Booster Club, that every community has needy families. Some of your kids’ friends may very well have parents who’ve lost a job, or are in some sort of upheaval and wondering how they’re going to be able to pay their bills let alone create a semi normal-feeling holiday for their household . Your favorite local school probably has names of families in need. Give a call to the school of your choice and think about donating a holiday roast or turkey, or just dropping off a few gifts. The school counselor usually knows just what to do with this kind of generosity, and you’ll know you really made a difference for some needy family in your own neighborhood.
- If animals are near and dear to your heart, there are lots of options for donating. The Oregon Humane Society is an obvious choice, and/but some smaller outfits that take up the slack and don’t have quite the visibility of the OHS would be heart-warmed to receive your donation. One that is recommended to me by someone in the know is the Family Dogs New Life Shelter. It is a no-kill shelter that does excellent work.
- Lake Oswego’s Tryon Creek is such a treasure to the community. If nature and its continued availability in communities, and specifically Lake Oswego, is important to you, consider donating to Friends of Tryon Creek.
There are so many great choices, I thought I’d highlight just a few and give you some links to resources that offer many options. Enjoy your holidays, and the Joys that come with the season!
Market Activity ~ Nov 24-30, 2014
Greetings, Property Blotter readers! OK, I will go out on a limb and say that things are slowing down a bit. I call this the Holiday Black Hole : ) I do business this time of year every year because people either Buy or Sell for so many reasons… most not having to do with the weather… and time of year often plays into the desire to accomplish something (by moving) at or around the time of the turn of the year. Anyway, I decided that for myself a long time ago, and so it is ; ) But most people take their minds off real estate at this time of year and put them on family, friends, and the things that really matter in Life… some of us just have “dual duty” in helping to make changes that house the family and friends that we Love, while decorating and toasting with Loved ones all at once! …and that’s plenty of fun too.

Market Activity Nov 10-16, 2014
Last week in Lake Oswego had some interesting data. There were 11 new listings, 22 pending sales, and just 8 closed sales. What I find interesting is the large number of pendings compared to the new listings. It’s obvious that those who are in the mood to buy want to move in before Christmas, and those who want to sell are not is no much of a hurry with the holidays at hand. Also of note is the short market time of the pending sales. This next week or two will be a good time to list a home for sale to take advantage of the pre-holiday rush.
