Lake Oswego Real Estate Market Activity – November 3-6, 2008

Things cooled off a bit, as expected, from the torrid sales report we saw a week ago.
About 13 homes went under contract or closed escrow last week.

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 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):
