Hope all of our Property Blotter readers who celebrate Christmas had a blissful and love-filled day yesterday with family and friends! For those of you who do not celebrate Christmas…. we hope you had a blissful and love-filled day yesterday with family and friends : ) For ALL of you, we wish you a memorable and satisfying holiday season.
There is just one house listed Open according to RMLS this Sunday, and it is a nice one in a mid-level price range that has recently dropped by $15,000. (photo used by permission) Enjoy! :
There are just 8 open houses being promoted in the RMLS for this Sunday. Not surprising with this being the start of the Christmas week. All 8 are high-end new construction. All 8 are also the “perenial opens”: the houses that seem to be open every Sunday. I have been in most of them. They are gorgeous properties. If you haven’t seen them already, they are worth the drive.
There are 8 truly NEW properties in Lake Oswego this last week (I left two of them in here because they were off the market for 30 days), 6 that went to PENDING status, and 7 that SOLD. I am seeing activity across the board in all price ranges, and in all areas of Lake Oswego.
Here is the latest market activity for Lake Oswego (see below the tables for additional notes): NEWLY LISTED (Dec. 7—Dec.13, 2009)

There are 7 truly NEW properties in Lake Oswego this last week, 10 that went to PENDING status, and 8 that SOLD. We are doing pretty well this year as last year at this same time, while we also had 7 NEW, only 4 were PENDING and 4 SOLD. You’ll notice that last week, of 6 NEW listings, 5 of them were under $400,000. 6 out of 10 PENDING were also under $400,000, and 5 out of 8 SOLD were as well.

There are three beautiful homes being held open on Sunday of Thanksgiving Weekend according to RMLS. It is supposed to be relatively warm and partly sunny…. a nice day to get out and look at homes with those visiting relatives and/or friends you’d love to have closer to you…
Dianne and I are, as always, here for you… even on Thanksgiving weekend : )

Geez… It’s November already! You know what that means… Halloween’s over, Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, and then the Holidays, gift-giving… OK, I’ll stop : ) Right now it’s Fall, and Sunday is supposed to be a nice one w/sunshine and some decent temperatures. Also, the announcement that we are pretty darned close to an extension of the First-Time-Home-Buyer Tax Credit (which additionally applies, by the way, to those who have not owned a home for three years now) and the proposal of an additional $6500. Tax Credit for those “Buying Up” if you meet income guidelines (under $125,000. for an individual or $225,000. for couple filing jointly) and purchase a house for $800,000. or less. And you thought your dreams were going to have to wait!
Dianne and I are, as always, here for you.
There are 26 properties on tour in Lake Oswego Sunday according to RMLS (including the Luxury Townhomes at 363 Sixth St in First Addition) :
It isn’t often that we shine the spotlight on any particular property, but when we heard that the new luxury town homes on Sixth St in sought-after First Addition had just lowered their prices by $100,000 each to $599,900., Dianne and I just had to run over there and take a look.
There are six of these little gems with four of them left & available for purchase. The address is 363 Sixth St., and the ML# if you want to get a preview is 9057549. Each has 2258 SF, 3 bedrooms, 3 & 1/2 baths, 2 levels with additional full finished basements, and probably just everything you’ve been looking for.
First of all, they really are gorgeous. The finishes in these are superior. The first feature you notice inside are the beautiful plank maple hardwood floors. A sleek yet spacious slab granite kitchen with long island, pantry & light beech cabinets also boasts additional built-ins and smart features like a pull-down bar. The dark french doors to the front porch area off the dining room are a rich contrast, and the white wainscoting throughout adds that crisp old-world cottage feel. The 2-car detached garage out back with private courtyard to the house is an added bonus in First Addition, and from there you enter the great room compete with gas fireplace and more built-ins.
Downstairs you find another gas fireplace and generous media room as well as another bedroom & bathroom w/an additional laundry area for guests or your reclusive teenager. Upstairs is the master bedroom & bath showing off glorious travertine w/onyx, a clawfoot tub & separate shower as well as an additional bathroom w/soaker tub & yet another bedroom. Walk-in closets of course, and the main laundry near the upstairs bedrooms check those final “must-haves” off the list.
Overall, these are just so unique & have that easy-living feel that goes hand in hand with the First Addition lifestyle… you know, walking to all the services, trendy shops and restaurants, not to mention Millenium Park Plaza for a view of the lake & all the festive local activities like Farmer’s Market, open air Movie Nights, Holiday Tree-Lighting festivities and on & on. First Addition is just a strolling kinda place; a small-town feel with all the amenities. Cottage Living magazine named First Addition as one of the ten best cottage communities in the country. American Planning Association name it one of the top 10 neighborhoods in America. The accolades go on & on.
Yes, these are nice indeed. But you know, on the practical side, in addition to the location & amazing price when comparing features & finishes to other offerings, there are also NO HOA fees. Compare that with other HOA’s nearby at anywhere from $136./month to $455./mo.
Come on down & take a look. Bring a Realtor as there has been a lot of interest. They will be held open both Saturday & Sunday from 1 – 4.
