Market Activity Dec 9-15, 2024

Real estate activity last week was pretty strong. Here we are, 2 weeks before Christmas, and 7 houses were listed for sale. One of those sold quickly and appears in this report as a pending sale. 12 houses moved to pending status and 13 properties closed escrow and officially sold. That feels like pretty strong activity for this time of year.

Toy Drive and Giving Options

All year around, less fortunate people need help from the community. I think of that Everclear song “I will buy you a new life” with the lyrics about a welfare Christmas. This is just a really rough time of year to be down on your luck. Because of this, there are some terrific community opportunities to make someone’s holidays just a bit brighter.

Annual Toy Drive

The Lake Oswego Fire Department is accepting new, unwrapped toys. Toys can be dropped off until December 11th at the main fire station (300 B Ave) or at the library (706 4th St). The toys are then distributed by the Tualatin Valley Elks Lodge.

Warm Clothing Drive

New coats, hats, gloves, and socks can be dropped off at the Adult Community Center (505 G Ave) or at the main fire station or the library until December 10th. They will be distributed by Bethlehem House of Bread in Tigard to local families.

Fleece

Organized by the City’s Youth Action Council, yards of new fleece are being collected to make blankets for the Clackamas Children’s Center. The fabric can be dropped off until December 10th at the Adult Community Center, the Library, or the Teen Lounge (1060 Chandler Rd). Donations need to be made by December 10th.

I am going to call out the obvious, these deadlines are right around the corner and timing is tight. If you miss a deadline, I have one more suggestion. This one is available year around.

Hunger Fighters Oregon

Located at 4 Monroe Parkway, Suite A, this non profit feeds those who are experiencing food insecurity in our community. Non-perishable food can literally be dropped of 24/7, 365 days of the year. They have a decent sized cupboard at the front entry that is secure from the weather. At this time of year, people come in hoping to find items to make a holiday meal. Think about what you prepare for your holiday meal. Is there a recipe that has ingredients that can be donated? I think of things like green bean casserole, canned ham, stuffing mix, a pie crust and pie filling. There are just so many foods that we enjoy at this time of year. If you want to donate a perishable item, that is also possible. You need to donate during hours that the pantry is open. Check their website for details by clicking here.

Thank you for helping those in need this holiday season.

Rassekh Skate Park is now Open

As of this month, not only is the skate park open, but so is the parking lot and the restrooms. If you are not in the area, you may not have seen all of the construction happening along Stafford Road between the City Golf Course and Rosemont Rd. The skate park is just one component of this development: the others being a new municipal pool and a large rec center. The skate park is step #1.

More exciting news is that this fall the City was awarded a $1 million matching grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Local Government Grant Program to fund construction of a play ground and picnic shelter adjacent to the skate park. The goal is to complete these by the summer of 2025.

The skate park is formally known as Rassekh Park. These are wonderful improvements to our community. The combination of skate park, playground and picnic shelter sounds like an ideal place to take the kiddos to work off some of that energy. Enjoy!

A Word From Our Mayor

Today we awake in the same great community we fell asleep in. Over our history as a community we’ve consistently demonstrated our ability to come together, lead by example, respectfully engage in civil dialogue and care for one another as neighbors. We’re a community of mixed political beliefs but many shared values, and today, just like every day, our neighbors are counting on us to continuing supporting one another as we make Lake Oswego a community every resident feels safe and at home in, where we enhance the natural environment for future generations, where local businesses can thrive and where our kids receive an incredible education.

I’m grateful to Lake Oswego voters for another term as your mayor. In that role my first priority is to ensure our community is safe and healthy for everyone in it. The impact we all have locally from the love we hold for our City and one another as neighbors transcends any national rhetoric meant to divide and instill fear. As Oswegans we stand united behind ensuring a positive future for our City, in protecting every one of our neighbors and in standing up for what’s right and just. I look forward to walking hand and hand with you all and my colleagues on the City Council as we work toward many more shared accomplishments in the years ahead! Congratulations to Councilors Mboup, Verdick and Rapf on their re-elections and to State Rep. Daniel Nguyen on his! Our community has good people representing it thanks to you all as voters.

Joe Buck, 11/6/24

Plan Ahead for a very Trolley Holiday

Riding the Willamette Shore Trolley is a lot of fun. It runs on an old rail line from 313 N State Street in Lake Oswego to Bancroft Street in the South Waterfront in Portland. Round trip takes approximately 90 minutes.

I celebrated my Mom’s birthday on the Trolley several years ago. We brought along a picnic and turned it into an event.

Yesterday, while having lunch at Dang’s on State Street, I saw the Trolley go by. Here I had thought that the 2024 Trolley season was over. Turns out, it’s not.

There are 4 special Trolley events still happening. The first on is today and tomorrow (Oct 26 and 27), Fall Colors Trolley Trips. At noon and 2pm, fares are just $10.

At Christmas there is Fa La La Trolley, a Trolley ride for those who enjoy caroling. The Tinseltown Trolley is being organized by Lake Oswego Parks and Rec and may include a visit from Santa. Last, on December 10th, 13th, 17th, 19th and 21st, the Trolley will run to allow viewing of the Christmas Ship Parade on the Willamette River.

Plan ahead to participate because tickets are sold on a first-serve, first-come basis. For ticket information, click here.

Halloween my be just around the corner, but the holidays are not far behind. Enjoy!

Market Activity Oct 14-20, 2024

New listings had a pretty big bump up last week with 20 new properties coming onto the market. It had me wondering why. There are two thoughts that come to my mind. First, many corporations align their fiscal year with the calendar year. Listing a property now will allow them to, hopefully, write off the costs associated with relocating an employee and writing it off in this fiscal year. My other thought is that people in general prefer to move before the holidays fully take over their lives. In any case, that’s a pretty bump from the dozen or so new listings that we’ve been seeing for sometime now.

There were 8 properties that moved to pending status and 13 closed sales.
