Criteria: (RMLS DATA) Homes in the 97034 and 97035 zip code, listed, pending or sold between the dates listed above as reported by the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS). DETACHD refers to Single Family Detached Residence, MFG refers to manufactured housing, and ATTACHD refers to single-family residences with some portion of the structure attached to another property, but not constituting CONDO ownership. DOM stands for days on market, or the number of days from when the listing became active and when it received an acceptable offer, with CDOM standing for “cumulative days on market” accounting for “refreshed” listings.

Market Activity Report May 10-16, 2021

Last week in Lake Oswego there were 15 new listings, 27 properties that moved into pending status, and 29 sold/closed sales.

I want to point out two things. This market is moving so fast that houses are going pending before Linda or I pull up the data to do this market activity report. This skews the numbers for the new listings because they are going pending so fast that they are not showing up in the new listing data. Second, I want to point out the opposite. Not every property is selling in just a couple of days. In the pending properties 7 out of 27 sold in a few weeks. In the sold properties 6 out of 29 sold in a longer period of time. This happens. Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t sell over night and for more than asking price. Real estate has lots and lots of variables and nothing is cast in stone. This is also why it’s important to hire a really great Realtor.

See below for an explanation of the RMLS data.

News & Notes April 2021 Numbers

Here is your wider Portland Market Report according to RMLS data, with overall Neighborhood changes and Lake Oswego data broken out below.

Overview/Fluctuations ~  Market Data April 2021:                                                      

Record low Inventory continues.  Competition is heavy and/but anecdotally the grapevine says more properties are starting to show up now in May, and I’m seeing & hearing about more Offers accepted at or nearer asking price.  The numbers will tell next month when we look at May’s totals, but that is the buzz. Mortgage rates are still great. The latest, though it varies on a daily basis and from individual to individual, is 3.25-3.35% on a 30-year Conventional loan w/a 700 credit score & 20% down.

  • There were 4,065 New Listings in April 2021 increased 42.8% over April 2020’s 2,487 and increased 17.3% from the previous month/March’s 3,465.
  • At 2,946, April 2021’s Closed Sales are up 46.2% from April 2020’s 2,015, and also up 15.3% from the previous month/March’s total of 2,556
  • At 3,400, April 2021’s Pending Sales increased 66.6% from April 2020’s 2,041, and also jumped up by 1.6% from the previous month/March’s total of 3,346.
  • The Average Sale Price in April 2021 of $557,900 is up $80,500 from last year/April 2020’s $477,400, and up $3,600. from the previous month/March’s $554,300.   
  • The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in April 2021 of $500,000 rose $76,000 from last year/April 2020’s $424,000, and also increased $12,000 from the previous month/March’s $488,000.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report  for the Portland Metro Area, April 2021:

LAKE OSWEGO

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn for the month of April 2021 reported:

  • 123 Active Listings (Mar 112)
  • 255 New Listings    (Mar 188)
  • 218 Pending Sales (Mar 156)
  • 142 Closed Sales    (Mar 112)
  • Average Sale Price for Apr: $818,300  (Mar $944,100)
    • 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.
  •  33 Average Days on the Market   (Mar 77)

The Gnomes are Back!

I had a great walk this morning that began and ended at Foothills Park. As I started out I came across this sign.

The sign itself is pretty informative. As it explains, the City of LO is putting 3 gnomes, Blossom, Greenie, and Oak, into 3 different parks. They will be moved each month between April and October to 3 new parks. The idea is to find them every month in order to explore the 21 Natural areas that the City maintains.

When you find a gnome, take a selfie and post it to social media using the hashtag #LOparksgnomes. Each time you post a selfie your name will be put into a drawing. In October a lucky winner will receive their very own gnome.

Finding the gnomes is a great incentive to get out and enjoy the fresh air, which is certainly one purpose for the gnomes. Another great purpose for this activity is to educate the citizens of Lake Oswego about the Stewardship Program that is run by the City Parks and Recreation Department. The Stewardship Program organizes events for volunteers to help with the cleaning and maintenance of the natural areas. Its a fun way to give back to the community, and to meet other great citizens.

In May the gnomes can be found in these 3 natural areas: Lamont Springs, Bryant Woods, and Woodmont. For a map of the gnomes parks for the month, and more information about the Stewardship Program, click here.

Happy gnome hunting!

3D Printed Houses

This is a bit of a divergence from the usual posts that Linda and I write where we try to focus on Lake Oswego Real Estate. Instead I decided to share something that I find just fascinating: 3D printed houses.

A company in Texas, ICON, is 3D printing houses. The company set a goal of finding a way to build houses that are more affordable, resilient, and that can be built faster. Their first house was built in 2018. it was 350 square feet and took 48 hours to print out. It was built in Austin, Texas, a place with very strict building codes. The house was fully permitted.

The printer is quite large, as you can imagine. It’s called a Vulcan II. It extrudes a cement compound called Lavacrete. It pours out 5-7 inches per second. Today, a 400-500 square foot house can be built in 24 hours.

Today, houses can be built up to 2000 square feet.

I say “built”, but I think that is a rather a loose term in this enstance. Once the shell of the house has been “printed”, it is set on a foundation and the components, like windows, doors, plumbing, etc., are added.

The printer can do more than build square boxes. It can be programed for things like curved walls and vaulted ceilings.

The cost savings is approximately half of a traditional stick built home. Partnering with Mobile Loaves and Fishes, ICON is working to build housing for the homeless.

I just love the inovation and found this entire concept intriquing. For more information, click here.

I hope you found this as fascinating as I did, and, as always, thanks for reading the blotter.
