*JOBS: Moving to Lake Oswego and looking for a job?
– The City of Lake Oswego has several openings. Check them out HERE.
– Parks and Recreation job openings can be found HERE.
* BANK-OWNED PROPERTIES: Dianne and I work with a wide array of clients, and each client is different; looking for a solution to their own unique circumstance. That said, one thing that everyone seems to ask about these days is “bank-owned” or REO properties. Yes, these are available in Lake Oswego, and the appeal is that they are almost always under market value. These properties have either gone through the short-sale phase unsuccessfully (they didn’t sell while listed as short-sale), or have just gone straight back to the bank and therefore appear as a new property on the market where the Seller is the Bank.
I usually talk with clients about the fact that they are really looking for a *home* that meets their needs… both monetary and otherwise (location/school/amenities/lot size/number of bedrooms & other criteria), and so I focus on the whole picture as there are so many good “deals” on the market right now whether they are bank-owned or not. AND, bank-owned properties, if they fit your other needs, are a great resource when you’re looking at the financial side.
Below you’ll find the bank-owned properties on the market in Lake Oswego right now, as well as the ones that have Sold in the last 30 days. I included some basic directions in case you wanted to drive by and see if any of these interest you. ***Of course, do not drive in the driveways or otherwise disturb the new owners of the ones in the “Sold” category : )
To answer a question that always seems to come up: If a house shows a lower List Price than Sold Price this can have multiple reasons including seller-paid concessions (closing costs etc), multiple offers & therefore “bidding up” on price, etc.
Hopefully this is a good reference-resource for you. Happy August!
