Market Activity ~ Jan 18-24, 2016

It is that time of year; the time where people who’ve taken their homes off the market during holiday season etc decide to put them back on or at least change their ML#’s to “refresh” the Listings for the new year. While this is a common practice, and is a useful strategy for Sellers to consider, it is not as helpful to our Property Blotter readers who are looking for new properties entering the market. So… we do the sorting work for you and remove those that have been refreshed in this manner. For this cycle, out of 13 that appeared to be New, we show 4 actually New in Lake Oswego.  (Yes, Inventory is still quite low. Overall Portland Area Inventory as of Dec 31st was 1.2 months…)

During the period of January 18-24, 2016 (last week) in Lake Oswego, we saw 4 New properties enter the market, 19 move to Pending status, and 9 “Closed”/Sold.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

News & Notes ~ October 2015 Numbers

Here are the October numbers for Portland and the Lake Oswego/West Linn areas (RMLS lumps them together).

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, October, 2015:

  • There were 3,063 New Listings in October which was down 10.5% from September (3,424), but up 6.3% from October of 2014.
  • At 2,717, October Closed Sales fell 9.7% from September’s 3,010, and were up  9.2% from October of 2014’s 2,487.
  • October Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 2,996 were up slightky at 0.8% from September’s 2,971, and fared 20.8% better than October of 2014’s 2,480 total.
  •  The Average Sale Price in October of $360,000 was up significantly at $11,000 over September’s $349,000, and also up almost $25,000 over October of 2014’s $335,600. 

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn  for the month of October 2015 reported:

    •  390 Active Listings  (Sept was 454)
    •  143 New Listings   (Sept was 228 )
    •  142 Pending Sales    (Sept was 181)
    •  139 Closed Sales   (Sept was 181 )
    • Average Sale Price for October of $614,600 (Sept/$574,800. )
      • 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.
    • Average Time on the Market: 73 Days (Sept was 59)

Market Activity ~ Nov 2-8, 2015

Last week, Nov 2-8, Lake Oswego we saw 5 New properties enter the market, 18 move to Pending status, and 5 “Closed”/Sold.  This is still a Sellers’ Market, and/but, Buyers have a bit of an advantage right now (better than any other time of year in a Sellers’ Market) as Sellers want to be “done” & focusing on holidays, finalizing by the end of the year, and other fun things.  On another note: Interest rates are rumored to be potentially rising in December……  Sounds like a Good time to buy if you’ve been on the fence. Something to think about ; )

October 12-18, Lake Oswego we saw 8 New properties enter the market, 18 move to Pending status, and 17 “Closed”/Sold.  Its interesting to note that of the 16 that come up as “New”, 8 of those were not truly new, but rather “refreshed” and therefore not included below.
