Spring Cleaning

Spring is a great time to give your home a good once over. You should do it if you are about to list your house for sale, but you should also do it as a matter of keeping up with maintenance and repair. Being a good steward of your home will maintain and even increase it’s value. So it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to it!

As you sort, wash, and organize, there is likely going to be a good deal of stuff to dispose of. Oregon is a mecca for recycling and properly disposing of debris, so I thought today would be a good time to go over some basics.

Curb side recycling is amazing. Here in LO you can sort your weekly pick up into garbage, recycling, and yard debris. We have 4 different curb side containers. For yard debris you can put small stuff like grass clippings and leaves and for larger stuff you can put in branches and limbs that are cut into sections. No, you can’t have a tree popping out of the top of the can. It has to be cut up and fit into the can. For recycling you can put out paper, plastic containers that have necks (think containers with twist on tops) and tin cans and clean aluminum. Glass has to be sorted separately and put into its own container.

You can not recycle at the curb plastic bags or molded plastic like the clam shells that vegetables come in. You also can not recycle glass light bulbs or broken dishes.

Yard debris can also be put at the curb in biodegradable bags for an extra pick up charge.

But what to do with the things that can’t be recycled curbside? Here are some answers.

IMG_0894Far West Recycling is right her in Lake Oswego (341 Foothills Rd). They take metal, glass, styrofoam, and elctronics. I have recycled old TVs and computers here for a small donation.

S & H Logging is also local (20200 Stafford Rd) and they take yard debris on a large scale. I’m talking pull every single scrap out of your yard and take it in the back of a flat-bed truck quantity of yard debris. The great thing at S & H is that they also sell landscape supplies like bark dust and compost. So you can take to them what you want to get rid of and bring home what you need.

SouthmetroIMG_0893 is the place to take everything else. Located in Oregon City you can take to them wood waste, garbage, motor oil, paint, appliances, plastics, they pretty much handle it all.

Please, please, please don’t put stuff into landfills that can be recycled. When I travel to other states and see pop cans in the garbage I have a physical reaction to the waste. It is so easy to recycle this stuff. I know not every single citizen of this state is so emphatic, but I do think it is part of our common community. When in Oregon….

Happy house cleaning!
Dianne

Market Activity March 7-13, 2016

It’s been another great week of the spring market ramping up. Lots of houses are coming onto the market and lots are selling.

LO’s Fit Spot

fit_spot_1

Something very cool has been built in West Waluga Park. It’s an outdoor gym that is free to use. Equipment is there for all major muscles just like you would find at a place like LA Fitness or 24 Hour Fitness. The difference is that there is no roof or walls to keep out the wind or rain, and it’s free. Take a moment here and think about this. No, there is no roof to keep out the rain, but there is also no roof to block the sun and the fresh air. And did I mention that it’s free?

The first time I used the equipment I was totally exhilarated by the feeling of what a great day to be out side and what a privilege to be able to work out in that environment. I have used the equipment many times. I have never found it so busy that I have to wait for others before I can take my turn. I do a lot of walking so I find myself using the upper body equipment. But I also enjoy the cross country machine and they have this machine that you stand on and swing your torso from side to side. I suspect it’s meant to work the sides of your waist, but I enjoy the movement.

11538977_942599229117261_5599756301123894766_oIf you do decide to give it a go, be sure to read the instructions that are clearly posted on each piece of equipment. As with all exercise, it’s meant to be beneficial and not harmful, but you bear responsibility for doing it right.

West Waluga Park also has a nice paved path around it’s circumference. So if you like the idea of getting in a brisk walk along with the weight training, you can easily do so all in one place. It’s a perfect set up for parents who’s kids want to play and you want to exercise and keep an eye on them.

Yep, I’m a fan of the new fit spot. Located at 15775 Waluga Drive, check it out.

Market Activity Feb 15-21, 2016

Market activity continues to pick up. Last week in Lake Oswego there were 16 new listings, 25 properties that went into pending status with accepted offers, and 16 closed sales. It continues to be a seller’s market with more homes going pending than coming up for sale. Having said this a property still needs to be in a location and condition that the price supports. 3 of the pendings and 2 of the closed sales still took over 200 days.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

News & Notes ~ Jan 2016 Numbers

First numbers for 2016!!! Yeah!!!

Here are the January numbers for the entire Portland area (including Lake Oswego).

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, January, 2016:

  • There were 2,519 New Listings in January which was up 63.8% from December (1,538), and 8.8% under January of 2015 (2,762).
  • At 1,859, January Closed Sales fell 31.4% from December’s 2,710, and/but were up  25.9% from January of 2015’s 1,477.               ***It was still the strongest January since 1992.
  • January Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 2,243 were up 15.9% from December’s 1,936, and were 2.8% under January of 2015’s 2,294 total.
  •  The Average Sale Price in January of $355,500 was down some from December’s end-of-year frenzy/$367,600, and also up approx $26,000 from January of 2015’s $329,400. 

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn  (RMLS lumps them together) for the month of January 2016 reported:

    •  243 Active Listings  (Dec was 255)
    •  150 New Listings   (Dec was 86 )
    •  120 Pending Sales    (Dec was 98)
    •  81 Closed Sales   (Dec was 143)
    • Average Sale Price for January of $498,000 (Dec/$567,300. )
      • 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: 78 Days (Dec was 81)
