Within the City of Lake Oswego, a tree removal permit is required to remove any tree with a diameter of 6 inches or more. On average, about 2,615 trees are permitted to be removed each year. There are a variety of reasons. Most are invasive, dead, and hazardous, along with trees removed for the purpose of developing residential zoning.
I live in Lake Grove, which is well knows to be a forested setting. I have 4 huge fir trees and huge walnut. Tree health is critical. About 10 years ago, I had an arborist go through my trees and limb them to remove hazardous branches. It was money well spent. When be storms roll through, I don’t fear my trees because I know that they are healthy.
Are you looking for tree care tips? Seasonal advice is updated quarterly by an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. Visit www.lakeoswego.city/tree. This website contains archives where you can learn about invasive pests, best practices for buying a new tree, planting, pruning, watering and more.
Looking at the market activity in Lake Oswego last week, I would call it healthy, and maybe even strong. Interest rates are now below 6%. That has gotten people interested in making a move.
We had 15 properties enter the market. 3 of those sold quickly and appear in this report as pending sales. 16 properties moved to pending status. There were 17 closed sales.

aw and order rhetoric becomes a shield for harm when force is deployed without accountability and moral restraint. State violence cloaked in legality—through procedure or bureaucracy—is still violence. It remains lethal, it remains harmful, and it erodes both our rights and the peace every community deserves.
Citizens have a moral responsibility to question unjust laws and to seek reform. Silence and disengagement are not pathways to peace; they are the conditions under which abuses of power take root.
The Lake Oswego community stands with communities across the country—especially our neighbors in Minneapolis—who are using their voices, trusting what they see with their own eyes, and supporting one another in the shared pursuit of dignity, justice, and accountability for all.
I’m a bit excited about the market activity report for Lake Oswego last week. 16 houses went pending! That feels above average to me for the second week of January. I think that the interest rates at 6% and even slightly under that, is motivating buyers. I also think that the houses with extended market times (7of the 16 pending sales were on the market for more than 100 days) creates a strong environment for buyers to negotiate both price and terms. It makes me feel optimistic about real estate as we enter 2026.
The numbers for last week were 14 new listings, 2 of which sold quickly and appear in the report as pending sales. There were 16 pending sales, and 5 closed sales.

The Lake Oswego Fire Department is now participating in a program that allows first responders to access your property in the event of an emergency without having to break down the door or break a window.
This is especially important for the elderly or people with compromised mobility. You purchase the lockbox, there are two different models to choose from. You install the box within 15′ of your door, then notify the fire department. They will come to your home and lock up a set of keys that you put into the box. The fire department then has a master key that allows them to access the set of keys put inside.
I so would have had this done at my Mother’s house in her final years. Not only was she in her 80’s, but she had disabilities that really compromised her mobility. She actively worried that someday the fire department might have to break down her door. Fortunately, that never happened, but even just the peace of mind that this program would have given her would have been worth the cost of the box.
This is a wonderful program. For more information, click here.
Happy New Year everyone! What a pleasure it is to ring in the new year and to anticipate the year ahead in real estate.
The last 2 weeks real estate has been pretty quiet, as would be expected over the holidays. However, real estate still happened. In the last 2 weeks 6 properties came onto the market, 9 moved to pending status, and there were 10 closed sales.
When people ask me about buying or selling over the holidays, I like to share a story that I experienced a few years ago. I had a listing in Lake Oswego down near the Willamette River. The owner of the house was a single man. He was meticulous with the house being clean and beautiful. On new year’s day he decided to go skiing. Unlike his usual habits, he left some dirty laundry on the bathroom floor. He just didn’t think that the house would be shown on new year’s day. Well, of course the house was shown. Not only was it shown, but we got an offer and the house went into pending status. My client was mortified that he had left laundry on the floor, but he was thrilled to get his house sold. Real Estate does happen all-year round. It never stops.
See below for RMLS data.

An annual holiday tradition has developed for myself and for my friends. There is a must-see house with the most spectacular light display at the corner of Indian Springs Rd and Childs Rd. Here are some photos from this year’s extravaganza.
This home owner also does an incredible display at Halloween. It’s a delight to behold.
