Middle Housing

A law was passed by the State of Oregon in 2019 that is going to have a huge impact on neighborhoods throughout the state. House Bill 2001 pretty much out lawed single-family-residential housing. The law applies to any town with a population of more than 10,000 people, thus, it very much affects Lake Oswego.

What this law does is mandate that neighborhoods that currently have single family housing must allow the construction of duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhouses, cottage clusters and accessory dwelling units.

There is an affordable housing crisis in our state and I completely understand the logic behind this law. When I look for the positive outcomes it will create, I think about people who want to build a dwelling for aging parents. I think of people who would benefit from some rental income. I think of people who need a place to live and simply can not afford the current rents or are not in a poslition to buy. This law will have quite a few positive benefits.

But I also think about what our neighborhoods currentlly look like. How will I feel if a duplex gets built next door? I hope I’ll feel ok, but, being honest, I’m just not sure. This law will have to come into affect and play out before I’ll know how I truly feel.

The City of Lake Oswego is approaching this change in a two phase process. The first phase has been completed. The city reveiwed current neighborhood plans and development codes, created and received results of a community-wide survey, and met with neighborhood association chairs to understand neighborhood characteristics and what communities value most.

The second phase is happening now. The city is exploring options for potential code changes and getting advice from a committee that has been formed. This committee was appointed by the city council and is called the Middle Housing Code Advisory Committee. They are meeting between now and the end of September. After they provide advice to the city council, the city will seek further feedback from neighborhood associaitons and the broader community.

For more information visit www.lakeoswego.city/planning or contact Eric Olson, Senior Planner, at eolson@lakeoswego.city or 503-697-6524.

There’s nothing so certain as change, that’s for sure.

Market Activity July 5-11, 2021

Last weeks market activity appears to have been more balanced with 19 new listings, 18 pending sales, and 23 closed/sold properties. The fact that the pending numbers were fewer than the new listings my have been a result of the July 4th holiday. It’s too soon to know if this is some sort of trend.

See below for RMLS data.

When Looking At Houses~

Notice the light and assess the windows– Have they been updated? If not, that’s an investment ahead.
Try to ignore the staging and/or personal belongings– You’re potentially buying the house, and not these distracting things. They can, and in the case of staging, are meant to elicit emotional reactions in you. Stay focused on the house.
Ask about the heat source– Different heating/cooling methods can drastically change your experience of the home in both functionality and in cost to you. For instance, if the source is “Electric”, that can be more expensive if it refers to baseboard, and much less expensive if it is a mini-split system. Oil heat has its own challenges, and gas furnaces may or may not be up to the task of heating a home today, especially if its been remodeled and additional SF has been added.
Pay attention to how SF is presented– If a home is 2000SF, and 1000 of that is unfinished basement space, you may want to assess ahead of time if that is a home you want to view.
Lot size & amenitites– You have general ideas of either wanting lots of space and/or privacy, or wanting to be in a friendly “neighborhood” environment with smaller lots closer together. Each home will be different.
- Do you have pets? If so, check out fencing and whether it’s adequate. If not, that can be fixed, but its an investment.
- Some large lots will be set back and have minimal yard space to enjoy with most of the area in the entrance, say, or perhaps a good percentage of the lot’s SF is on a hill.
- Some homes will be high maintenance, ie, if a home has that “falling in love” factor, and it is because of the beautiful gardens surrounding it on all sides….remember that those gardens need care- Are you a gardener? Are you OK with paying someone to maintain those grounds? Just good questions to ask yourself.
- Some smaller lots may be set closer to the street with ample backyard space.
- You’ll want to note whether the home has covered areas outside which can add more living space for you in the rainy months.
Is the flooring to your liking? – If not that can be fixed, but its an investment. On the other hand, if a home has everything you want, the price is right, and you hate carpet, flooring can likely be changed for much less than you imagine, and often for much less than it will cost you to keep looking and pay for a different home that is priced higher than the actual cost of flooring because it is called “updated” or “remodeled” in the Listing. It’s fairly common to have a flooring contractor lined up to do the flooring work the day after Closing so that your move-in timeline is only slightly affected.
Hate the kitchen counters? See my advice on flooring above.
Keep things in perspective- While many homes will just not fit the bill, in this market, it pays to really assess what is important and what can be changed to your liking with a little investment on your part after Closing. For years now Buyers have not been in the mood to make any changes and have generally been looking for “move-in-ready”. Right now, we are at historic lows in inventory and have been for many months. If you find a home that meets most of your needs and/but could use a tweak here & there, my advice is: Go for it! Consider it an opportunity to make it your own.

Market Activity June 21-27, 2021

Lake Oswego is so beautiful! We had a couple of days of pretty extreme heat but we are back to normal with highs in the 80’s. The flowers are blooming and the swim park is open. Summer in LO is pretty great.

The real estate market is also pretty great. Last week Lake Oswego experienced 14 new listings, 26 pending sales, and 27 sold/closed properties.

News & Notes ~ May 2021 Numbers

Here is your look at the latest numbers as released by RMLS for the overall Portland area and how Lake Oswego fits in just below.

Overview/Fluctuations ~ Market Data May 2021:

The stats show New Listings dropped a bit (2.3%) in May from April, and/but Accepted Offers rose at the same time by 8%.

Just when we think record lows in Inventory can’t get any lower, they do. May took us down to 0.7 months of available housing.

Rates are still attractive hovering around 3.125%. Best to get out and get active if you are planning to, given that the Fed indicated last week that they’d be raising rates sooner than previously expected.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, May 2021:

There were 3,971 New Listings in May2021 increased 16.1% over April 2020’s 3,419 and decreased 2.3% from the previous month/April’s 4,065.
At 3,183, May 2021’s Closed Sales are up 62.1% from May 2020’s 1,963, and also up 8.0% from the previous month/April’s total of 2,946
At 3,717, May 2021’s Pending Sales increased 19.4% from May2020’s 3,112, and also rose 9.3% from the previous month/April’s total of 3,400.
The Average Sale Price in May2021 of $582,200 is up $114,700 from last year/April 2020’s $467,500, and up $24,300. from the previous month/April’s $557,900.
The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in May 2021 of $515,000 rose $90,000 from last year/May 2020’s $425,000, and also increased $15,000 from the previous month/April’s $500,000.

LAKE OSWEGO:

129 Active Listings (Apr 123)
222 New Listings (Apr 255)
223 Pending Sales (Apr 218)
199 Closed Sales (Apr 142)
Average Sale Price for May: $928,300 (Apr $818,300)
- 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.
28 Average Days on the Market (Apr 33)

June 18, 2021June 18, 2021

Market Activity June 7-13, 2021

The weather is glorious and so is real estate in Lake Oswego. Last we we had 18 new listings, 24 properties move into pending status, and 22 closed sales. Of the 22 closed sales, just 3 sold for less than the asking price and most sold for significantly more that the asking price

Plant Sale

I’m reversing the order of my blog posts this week. Usually the market activity report is posted first and then an editorial. However, this week I want you to have a heads up about a great even this Saturday, with time to get it onto your calendar.

This is the 97th year for the Lake Grove Garden Club’s annual sale. It will be this Saturday, the 19th of June, from 9 to noon, at Our Saviors Lutheran Church on Quarry Rd.

A wide variety of plants and garden objects will be offered, most at prices significantly less than you would find at garden stores. This is possible because the plants have been raised and cultivated by members of the club.

Proceeds go to community projects to beautify the neighborhoods, to protect heritage plants, and to a scholarship to support a student who attends Clackamas Community College in the horticulture program. Very worthwhile!

For me gardening is a salve to my soul. Digging in the dirt really is so calming, peaceful, and rewarding. I think it’s also cheaper than therapy!
