Featured Property

16232 Bonaire AveBonaire 002

I am super excited to introduce you to my new listing in the Lake Grove neighborhood of Lake Oswego.  Here are the stats:

Built in 1961 with a master suite addition that was added in 1985

4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, the house has a greatroom floorplan and is 1792 square feet.

This house is all on 1 level.

Now here is the highlight and most outstanding feature:  this house sits on a HUGE lot that is 75′ wide and 262′ deep.  You have space, space, and more space.  There is even a horse shoe pit.  The lot is not dividable, but rather meant to be enjoyed as a wonderful yard.  It is fully fenced.

Bonaire 018

The price of $279,900 reflects the fact that this house needs work.  It still has the original kitchen and baths.  It has been a rental for over 20 years and it is just well worn.  There are still some single-pane windows, although the gas furnace is just 10 years old.

Let me know if you have questions or would like to make an appointment to see the interior.  I’d love to show you this home.

Dianne

News & Notes

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  January, 2013. At 1,344, Closed Sales were less than December’s 1,760, BUT, amount to the most Closed Sales in any January since 2007!

  • There were 2,438 New Listings (an 89.6% increase over Dec. 2012).
  • The Average Sale Price in January was $287,700. Comparing the average price of $277,000 during the last 12 months ending on Jan. 31st 2013, with the same 12 month period ending Jan. 31, 2012 of $262,900, there has been an increase of 5.4%
  • December 2012 logged 1,384 Pending Sales, while January 2013 ratcheted that up to 1906!                                                                                                                                                           For our Property Blotter readers, the combined area of Lake Oswego and West Linn reported:
    • 450 Active Listings
    • 187 New Listings
    • 130 Pending Sales
    • 79 Closed Sales
    • An average Sale Price of $480,600.
    • Average Time on the Market: 138 Days

Market Activity Feb 18-24, 2013

Lake Oswego had 18 new listings enter the market last week, along with 18 homes that received accepted offers and 9 closed sales. What stood out for me, as I looked through the closed sales, is that 3 of the nine sold over the list price, including the house on Middlecrest that sold $51,000 over the list price. Sounds like aggressive multiple offers likely happened on that property.

Here are further details regarding last week’s Market Activity:

Market Activity Feb 4-10, 2013

Last week in Lake Oswego there were 10 new listings, 12 houses that went into pending status, and 3 closed sales. I think the short list of closed sales reflects that 45 days ago we were in the midst of the holidays. And with just 10 new listings and 12 pending sales, inventory remains tight.

Here are further details regarding last week’s Market Activity:
