17960 Ridge Lake Dr, $669,000, 4 BR, 2.5 BTHS, open 12-2
15713 Tara Place, $729,000, 4 BR, 2.5 BTHS, open 1-3

Market Activity Report – January 19-25, 2009

News today indicates a “Surprise to the Upside” in US housing sales.

Check it out: http://www.actionforex.com/fundamental-analysis/daily-forex-fundamentals/us-home-sales-surprise-to-the-upside-2009012676338/

Here in Lake Oswego we have a total of 20 properties newly on the market as of this last week, and 7 pending sale as of the same week. I culled any property listed as “new” that had not been off the market for at least 30 days, and many of those categorized as such below are brand new listings.

Here is the latest market activity for Lake Oswego (see below the tables for additional notes):

Criteria: Homes in the 97034 and 97035 zip code, listed, pending or sold between the dates listed above as reported by the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS). DETACHD refers to Single Family Detached Residence, MFG refers to manufactured housing, and ATTACHD refers to single-family residences with some portion of the structure attached to another property, but not constituting CONDO ownership. DOM stands for days on market, or the number of days from when the listing became active and when it received an acceptable offer.

Market Activity for January 12-18, 2009

Here is your market activity report for last week. There are 17 new listings, 9 pending sales, and 2 closed sales. When I did my search for new listings the report originally contained over 50 properties, which seemed way high to me. So I explored the market history on each of them and found that only 17 were truly new listings and all of the rest were old listings that were pulled and then re-listed with new RMLS numbers to “refresh” them. It’s a common practice to stimulate sales activity. However, I think it is helpful to see what is a actually a new listing versus this marketing technique. I can not promise that time will always permit me to take this extra step, but when I can, I will. I was also pleased to see 9 pending sales, which is a bit of a gain over what we were seeing in the holidays.

Lake Oswego Real Estate Activity – October 20-26, 2008

While we aren’t seeing an epidemic in Lake Oswego, a couple short sales appear in this week’s list of newly listed properties. Short sales occur when the homeowner must sell, but owes more on the mortgage than the current market value will bear. These transactions can be tricky for both home seller and buyer.

Here is the weekly list showing Lake Oswego real estate market activity (see below the tables for additional notes):

Lake Oswego Real Estate Activity – October 6-12, 2008

Sellers beware. This week’s SOLD properties averaged nearly 20% price discounts from their original list price and 160 days on market.

Some of them appear to have had hugely inflated seller expectations initially. To be sure, every situation has its own story, but a strong pricing strategy makes a huge difference in buyer perception and ultimately, market time.

Here is the latest market activity for Lake Oswego (see below the tables for additional notes):
