Here is your breakdown from the previous month, October, for Portland and surrounding areas including LO broken out at the bottom. ***Be sure to check out the Neighborhood Report which categorizes down into smaller pieces.
Overview/Fluctuations ~ October 2024 Market Data:
The Portland area is humming along, though Fall is a slower market traditionally as people enter the “Black Hole of the Holidays”. This year we were impacted with higher than expected rates & many holding off amidst election uncertainty to proceed in 2025 afresh. So, we are seeing a lot of Sellers removing their homes from the market & deciding to re-list in the Spring or after the first of the year. All that said, Closed Sales rose from both October 2023 & 2024, so perhaps that was a burst of Offers accepted right after the hotly anticipated/ultimately disappointing (for immediate mortgage rate relief) Fed rate cut on Sept 18th? Average Sale Price on the whole was down due to Buyer pressure as well.
According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area October 2024:
LAKE OSWEGO: (Month of October ’24)
305 Active Listings (Sep 325)
108 New Listings (Sep 123)
90 Pending Sales (Sep 100)
93 Closed Sales (Sep 86)
Average Sale Price for Oct: $1,103,400 (Sep $1,152,900)
NOTE: Higher-Priced vs Lower-Priced Homes Sales can skew the “Average” in any given month. Lake Oswego has quite a variety, so this tends to be a less meaningful stat, generally speaking, in this niche.
67 Days on the Market (Sep 48)
The data listed above is as reported by the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS)
Last week there were 10 properties entering the market, 10 that moved to Pending status, and 7 that Closed/Sold. Right now there are 204 properties available ranging from $169,900 to $10,500,000.

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!
Dianne

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
Every four years we get to participate in this awesome privilege and responsibility of voting for President of the United States, along with many other important local and national choices. Lake Oswego makes it simple with Ballot Box drop-off sites available for easy submission. Here in Oregon we get an email letting us know that our ballot was received and counted. It’s important. Get out and Vote!!

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!
