Featured Property: 16884 Summer Place

I am proud to introduce you to my new listing at 16884 Summer Place.  Located in the Summer Woods neighborhood in Lake Grove, it was built in 1995.  Summer Woods is an interesting area.  It’s in Lake Grove, so surrounded by older homes with some in-fill new construction, but this neighborhood has about 75 houses [...]

Every community looks to find it’s claim to fame and Lake Oswego’s, beside beautiful homes and top-notch schools, can be found in one of its most famous residents, William Stafford.

Market Activity Report for June 14-20, 2010

Last week brought 16 new listings, 14 pending sales, and 12 closed sales. I think what I find most interesting is the CDOM (cumulative days on the market). It does seem that things are selling either really fast or really slowly. Correct pricing is what makes the difference! And notice the [...]

Analyzing Market Trends

Foothills Park, Lake Oswego, Oregon

I think the most common question I am asked is “How’s business?”, which I think really means “What’s the market doing?”  In my circle of friends, homeownership is the norm.  And in today’s economy, everyone is hoping that their home is holding it’s value.  For my clients, they are wanting [...]

Market Activity for May 31 to June 6, 2010

Last week found 16 new listings, 13 pending sales, and 7 closed sales. I would have to say that it was a bit of a celebration week for many of the sellers who closed transactions. This group of homes included quite a few that had been on the market for an extremely long [...]
