Eve On The Lake

Eve-on-the-LakeWEB-HEADER8

The City of Lake Oswego is hosting its first annual Eve On The Lake. From 8pm to 2am, the event will feature endless hors d’ouvres, dancing, live music with Tom Grant and Shelley Rudolph, photo booths, surprise events during the countdown to midnight, and of course, a midnight champagne toast.

The event is being held at a seriously beautiful location right on the edge of Oswego Lake, 40 N State St, otherwise known as Stickmen Brewery and Skewery. There is a lakeside deck that can actually be used in the winter with plenty of heaters, but subject to weather. From inside there are lovely views of the water, so even if it is cold and rainy or snowy, you can still feel the beauty of the water.

Cost is $69. Proceeds from the event will go to the Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. So you can ring in the New Year and also support an extremely worthwhile cause.

For more info, click here.

What a great way to ring in the New Year!

Linda and I want to wish you and yours a very safe, happy, and memorable New Year,
Dianne

    Market Activity Dec 10-16, 2012

    It’s beginning to feel a lot like the holidays with a dusting of snow on the ground this morning and just 6 new listing coming on the market last week. There are buyers out there though with 10 houses that received accepted offers last week, and 12 closed sales. I would expect an increase in closed sales this week as people try to move in with time to hang the tinsel and to put up the tree.

    News & Notes

    October 2012
    Here are some Market Notes for You~

    You’ve probably heard that market activity all around Portland is picking up, and Dianne and I are certainly experiencing it. Here is some recent data for you on the overall Portland area, as well as specific Lake Oswego/West Linn (RMLS lumps them together) activity:

    According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area October, 2012. “At 2,103, closed sales were 42.7% higher than October 2011 sales of 1,474, and 11% higher than closed sales in Sept. 2012.

    • “This was the best October since 2006 for Pending and Closed sales.”
    • The average sale price year-to-date ($273,400) rose 3.7% over the same period last year,
    • ***AND… Total time on the market has dropped by 21% from 144 to 102 days.

    For our Property Blotter readers, the combined area of Lake Oswego and West Linn reported:

    • 604 Active Listings
    • 167 New Listings
    • 120 Pending Sales
    • 135 Closed Sales
    • An average Sale Price of $475,600.
    • Average Time on the Market: 108 Days
