Lake Oswego Market Activity ~ Jan. 18-24, 2010

There were 16 New, 10 Pending, and 4 Sold properties during last week’s Monday – Sunday period according to RMLS.  (Note: RMLS data is based on data input by Listing Agents up to the date/time of our writing this post.  This means that there is the -possibility- that something might have sold or gone pending and not been entered into RMLS yet, but these things are generally entered right away, so the RMLS data we compile & share is pretty accurate.)

We have been seeing an increase in Buyer activity according to RMLS lockbox stats as well.  This is to be expected as rates are still low (though starting to increase a bit), FHA is still only requiring a low of  3.5% down (though this is supposed to increase significantly in the summertime) and the tax credits are in full force, coming with an April deadline. All this means that “looking” is starting now for those serious about finding that special property either as a First-Time Buyer, or one who is “Moving Up” (meaning: having been in their home for at least 5 years and buying under $800,000.).  Tax credits are $8,000 & $6,500. respectively.

Here’ your data for last week  (see below the tables for additional notes):

  1. Wow, those really are “hyper-local” home sales stats! Good job…. 699 CDOM sounds like they must have adjusted the price a few times, and I bet the agent is very happy it finally sold 😉

  2. Doug,
    Yes, this particular home is a great one in a great neighborhood. It originally went on the market in January of 2008 at $799,000. And of course it just sold at $510,000… this for nearly 4000SF of house, built in 1983 on a .28 acre lot in Lake Oswego….. We’re seeing the ones that have been on the market a long time moving now, as well as new ones that are priced right from the get go. Signs of the times!
