Last week brought 13 new listings onto the market in Lake Oswego, 14 pending sales, and 3 closed sales. In the weekly lockbox activity report, lockbox openings were up for the 4th week in a row. So lots of buyers are out there looking.
I am excited this week to have my own new listing in the market activity report. 211 Oswego Summit came onto the market for $229,900. It is a gorgeous (yes, I know I am prejudiced, but seriously, this home is spectacular) one-level condominium in Oswego Summit. It has over 1500 square feet with 2 HUGE bedrooms and 2 full baths. It is on the top floor with commanding views of Mt. St. Helens and SW Portland, but it has an elevator so there are NO STAIRS. I’ll be holding it open on Broker’s Tour on Tuesday the 2nd from 11am to 1pm. The public is welcome to attend Broker’s Open Houses, so come on by. And if you can’t make it on Tuesday, I’ll be there again on Sunday the 7th from noon to 3pm.
Here is last week’s market activity report:

We have 28 properties on tour in Lake Oswego this Sunday. Once again, all ranges in price, styles and property types are open for your viewing pleasure! I will be holding 363 6th St. open myself. It is a stunning, custom town home in the heart of First Addition. Come on by and say hello!
Here are the Open Houses in Lake Oswego according to RMLS:
I thought I’d bring you along with Dianne and I to see some of what was on Brokers’ Tour Tuesday in Lake Oswego.
What do we DO on tour??? Well, we check out properties that are new on the market or that have had a major change such as remodeling work or price reductions. We also enjoy visiting with each other & learning more about the properties (this is a great way to find out material information that is not included on the listing sheet), and you should know that Realtors LOVE to eat on tour! Usually we’ve been at meetings all morning and are ravenous by the time we get out to tour. Dianne calls it the Pavlov Response… she postulates that even when we don’t tour, we automatically get hungry on Tuesdays at 11:00… I think she’s right!
I was not able to post everything we saw on Tuesday, but I’ve got quite a bit to show you… Let’s get going! (all photos used with permission ~ remember that you can enlarge any photo by clicking on it)
We headed over to Westridge to 51 Hillshire Dr., to visit a custom contemporary home set up above the road and surrounded by luscious landscaping, giving it peaceful views out the many bright windows. We were met by Debbie Todd who answered questions and showed us around with warmth and hospitality. This one is stately, with 4306 SF, 4 bedrooms, a formal but open entry, master suite on the main floor, high vaulted ceilings, hardwoods, great room with gorgeous kitchen (yes, that’s Dianne in the kitchen), fireplace and access to the spa/patio area (also accessible from the spacious master). Daylight basement offers pool table area, 1/2 bath, media area, and a beautiful wet bar. Three bedrooms are upstairs (one non-conforming). The flow of this home is so elegant, and the feel so open and peaceful… I would highly recommend a look. This one is set & ready to welcome it’s new owners with style & comfort from day one.
From Westridge we drove to 2057 Summit Dr in Summit Heights where the neighborhood is nestled up the graceful slope from Lake Oswego. This particular home is a totally remodeled 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath 1975 Craftsman with panache. I mean, this home shouts easy, comfortable living from the street as you enter the circular drive. It is just a ‘superstar’ sitting there waiting for the perfect occupants. Set back a ways from the road, we meandered up the walk and were met by Susy Darm, another charming local Realtor with tons of information about the property to share. It is 4589 SF on a .45 acre lot overlooking the lake with beautiful views from the upper deck & grand master bedroom. The outdoor living options begin with the main level deck that wraps from the porch around to the side… vaulted with forest views & accessible from the kitchen and dining areas. Did I mention the kitchen? Let’s just say stunning slab granite, Dacor Pro stove, Sub Zero, Viking, alder cabinets, and an open/airy feel. The great room is wired for surround sound, there are three fireplaces, one of which boasts an alluring river pebble fascia. I could go on & on… media & game room, stellar bathrooms… but really, this one needs to be seen in person.
Leaving Susy, we decided to finish up our tour with the new construction home at 567 6th Street in First Addition. We walked through this one about a month or two ago when it was in full building mode… we gingerly stepped through the home being careful not to trip and trying to visualize the finished result. It was fun to see the transformation yesterday. Shari Newman met us in the beautiful kitchen featuring one of my favorites… Carrera Marble for back-splash. It offers 2568 SF of brand new home, with 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. Floors are luxurious, dark hardwoods. Bathrooms feature granite and elegant fixtures & finishes. The generous master is conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs also opens to three more bedrooms, one of which has high ceilings and could probably also be used as a game or media room. Little touches than really shine include the brass gutters, and slatted wood ceilings on the front porch. Style.
Well, that wraps up our Broker’s Tour for this week. Hope it was fun tagging along with us! We’re always here to take a call & show you property if you find something that “speaks” to you.
If this is making you want to tour yourself, I’ll be holding 371 6th St. Open on Sunday in Lake Oswego from 2:00 – 4:00 PM. This is a sweet 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath custom rowhouse in First Addition. C’mon down! We can chat.
Here is our latest market activity report. Last week brought us 21 new listings, 10 pending sales, and 9 closed sales.
I want to explain that occasionally a property misses getting into our report. This happens if the property status changes during the week that represents our report, but the data is not changed in the RMLS until after our report is issued. Linda and I want these reports to be as accurate as possible, but we also want them to occur in a timely fashion. We regret that some property data is reported late and thus misses our report.

Wow. We have polar ends of the price spectrum on tour this Sunday. 8 over a million, and 5 under $250,000 with a couple in the middle. There are some great properties to see on this list, so get out and enjoy the dry weekend weather & find that “one” to either move-up or buy first-time…. The tax credit time-line is ticking………… Enjoy! & as always, feel free to give Dianne or me a call if you need some help. Here are the Open Houses in Lake Oswego according to RMLS:
Hope all of our Property Blotter readers who celebrate Christmas had a blissful and love-filled day yesterday with family and friends! For those of you who do not celebrate Christmas…. we hope you had a blissful and love-filled day yesterday with family and friends : ) For ALL of you, we wish you a memorable and satisfying holiday season.
There is just one house listed Open according to RMLS this Sunday, and it is a nice one in a mid-level price range that has recently dropped by $15,000. (photo used by permission) Enjoy! :
There are just 8 open houses being promoted in the RMLS for this Sunday. Not surprising with this being the start of the Christmas week. All 8 are high-end new construction. All 8 are also the “perenial opens”: the houses that seem to be open every Sunday. I have been in most of them. They are gorgeous properties. If you haven’t seen them already, they are worth the drive.
There are 8 truly NEW properties in Lake Oswego this last week (I left two of them in here because they were off the market for 30 days), 6 that went to PENDING status, and 7 that SOLD. I am seeing activity across the board in all price ranges, and in all areas of Lake Oswego.

There are 7 truly NEW properties in Lake Oswego this last week, 10 that went to PENDING status, and 8 that SOLD. We are doing pretty well this year as last year at this same time, while we also had 7 NEW, only 4 were PENDING and 4 SOLD. You’ll notice that last week, of 6 NEW listings, 5 of them were under $400,000. 6 out of 10 PENDING were also under $400,000, and 5 out of 8 SOLD were as well.

Criteria:Homes in the 97034 and 97035 zip code, listed, pending or sold between the dates listed above as reported by the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS). DETACHD refers to Single Family Detached Residence, MFG refers to manufactured housing, and ATTACHD refers to single-family residences with some portion of the structure attached to another property, but not constituting CONDO ownership. DOM stands for days on market, or the number of days from when the listing became active and when it received an acceptable offer, with CDOM standing for “cumulative days on market” accounting for “refreshed” listings.
yesterday with family and friends : ) For ALL of you, we wish you a memorable and satisfying holiday season.
