Market Activity Report Dec 5 – 11th, 2016

Hello everybody, and Happy Holidays!
I hope you all have been enjoying the snow! I heard on the radio: one of the DJs was saying that Portlanders aren’t too good at driving in the snow, or ice, or even rain sometimes for that matter. It kind of made me chuckle. I hope you all have been safe through this crazy weather, but enjoying it when you can.

This last week we only had two new houses hit the market. Hooo boy I had to go back and double, even triple, check to make sure that this information was right. Yup, just two new listings! The market is slowing down for the holidays, which gives us all a chance to focus on our families, as well as hosting/travel plans.

Well I’ll end it at that. I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the year. I’m pretty ready for 2017!

News & Notes ~ Oct 2016 #’s

A little news for you (+ Oct data below)~

Good news! Conforming Loan limits are rising.  Here’s a little excerpt from a piece in Realtor Magazine:

The federal government is increasing the limit for conforming mortgages from $417,000 to $424,100 in most regions of the United States starting Jan. 1, 2017, the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced Wednesday—the first such increase since 2006.

The approximately 1.7 percent bump in the baseline conforming loan limit follows the FHFA’s announcement that  the average U.S. home price has returned to its pre-decline peak, which it hit in the third quarter of 2007. The FHFA bases the loan cap on its quarterly Housing Price Index, which gauges average single-family home prices. The index rose 1.5 percent during the third quarter of 2016 and is up 6.1 percent over the past year, enough to push it above its previous high point.

Conforming loan limits are significant because they apply to home loans that meet the underwriting guidelines of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored entities that acquire mortgages from lenders and ensure a steady flow of money to the mortgage market. Interest rates for nonconforming, or jumbo mortgages, are generally higher than rates for loans that fall under the cap, and these types of mortgages can be more difficult to obtain.

Market Activity Report for November 7 – 11th, 2016

Hey everybody!
I hope your November has been awesome. Have you all noticed that the grocery stores have almost completely skipped Thanksgiving? Like what is up with that? I feel like I was just in Halloween land at the Albertsons and now suddenly its Christmas!
In any case, the real estate market has maintained a steady rhythm. Condos continue to be a hot item, and houses starting at 400,000 to 700,000 continue to be bought and sold at an even pace.

Last week we saw 16 new listings, 23 pending houses, and 10 closed homes!

Market Activity ~ Sept 26-Oct 2, 2016

Ah, Fall…

It brings back memories of when I bought my Lake Oswego home.  My son was in 2nd grade many years ago, and I wanted him to be able to attend Lake Oswego schools, so we put our home on the market, sold it quickly and moved to our new home on Thanksgiving Day. I remember the leaves were flying in the breeze through my lovely new garden. I chose the Palisades Neighborhood which boasts a fabulous dog park at Luscher Farm, Palisades Market (which is just *the best*), quick access down McVey/Stafford into Portland via Hwy 43 as well as views of the valley and all the amenities… the Lake Theater & Cafe  close by where you can wait for a movie with a view of the lake, Christmas Trees every year from the Boy Scout Troop at George Rogers Park, shopping at Chico’s and the other fine shops at Lake View Village, eating on or near the lake at several fine establishments including Manzana, Stikmen & Tucci’s. I began my real estate practice in Lake Oswego, and took on the many roles of an active mom who wanted the best for my son in those days.  I served as Publicity Chair and then President of the former Waluga Jr High Booster Club, and learned to Love the community with each passing year.

Fall is a fabulous time to buy a home in Lake Oswego ; )

Happy hunting!

Linda
