Market Activity Nov 9-15, 2015

People often ask me if this is a good time of year to be buying or selling a house. The answer is yes! Interest rates are typically very low in the winter. People who are selling at this time of year are motivated. Many companies are transferring their executives to close out their fiscal year. And a house that is beautiful in the winter will be gorgeous in the spring! This past week Lake Oswego had 12 new listings, 15 houses going into pending status with accepted offers, and 11 closed sales.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS for last week:
