Market Activity ~ Aug. 16-22, 2010

We’ve got 21 New properties on the market in Lake Oswego as of this last week, 14 that have gone to Pending status, and 8 that have Closed/Sold.    I left a couple of properties as “New” even though they had not been off the market for at least 30 days (which is my usual rule for that) because they had both new representation AND significant price reductions…   The rest are truly fresh listings.

Healthy activity. You’ll note in the “Sold” section below, that most of these were not on the market for that long, relatively speaking.  Summertime season. It’s also always interesting to note the Opening price as compared to the Closed Price.  One sold for $30,000 more than it was listed for… not sure what was up there. But most prices took a drop; some pretty significantly.

Here’ your weekly update (see below the tables for additional notes):

Lake Oswego Open Houses 8/22/10

I can’t believe I’m saying this but the cooler weather feels great after weeks of 90 to 100 degrees! Nice weather for browsing Open Houses too.

There are 26 homes held Open Sunday according to RMLS.

Price Ranges:

Three are under $300,000.

Six are between $300,000 and $500,000.

Seven are between $500,000 and $700,000.

Four more are from $700,000 to a million.

Five are at a million or over (c’mon… I’m calling $999,000 a million : )

Somewhere in this bunch may be the home you’ve been looking for…  and there’s still time before the start of the school year!

Drop by my Open House on Lamont Way and say hello from 1:00 till 3:30.  I’d love to meet you.

Holidays+Food=Recipe Secrets Fm Lake Oswego To You

manicotti aOk, so, it’s the holidays, and the Realtors are all running around serving their clients with Christmas trees on their car roofs… well, at least I am! Or was, earlier today. I visited another real estate office and noticed that I’m not the only one juggling real estate business and “extra” holiday activities and errands… and frankly we all are right now. So, I was thinking- What am I going to write about in the Property Blotter this time?  I’ve got to take care of my clients and go shopping for Manicotti ingredients, champagne, Martinelli’s and all manner of other Christmas Party necessities. What will I write about?   Food comes to mind of course.

I confess, I have been overextended into giving away some of my cooking secrets, and other hopefully interesting tidbits for the sake of expediency! What has the world come to? Anyway, here are a few little things I usually do not pass on to people… but for YOU??? Our Property Blotter reader? Here you go:

Manicotti:  I make a killer Manicotti. It’s a well-known fact if I do say so myself, which is due to my dear Grandmother’s guidance and recipe… and which I am NOT giving you (she’d come after me from the afterlife!). So, you’ll have to come up with your own sauce and blend of cheeses, but I WILL tell you the biggest secret of all: ~How To Stuff Manicotti Noodles~ Basically, you stuff them while they’re hard. Using a pastry tube is something I incorporated last year and it worked much better than the “old country” method my Grandmother and I used, which was little by little with teaspoons. You stuff the noodles, line them up in a buttered pan till its filled with one layer, and pour your sauce over them all. Here comes the secret part: You then pour hot water… about 3/4 cup of it, around the edges of the pan, cover tightly with foil and bake according to your directions. The water steams the noodles, and your sauce retains the consistency you intended. Voila! (oops… not an Italian expression)

Hungarian Mushroom Soup:  There is a restaurant in Portland called Old Wives Tales that is famous for this soup. I used to drive all the way there and take home large cartons of it. “Anything else, Miss?” “No. Just the soup please.” One day I experimented till I came up with nearly the same flavor. Sophisticated cooks will balk at this part, but I use 2 large cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup from the store. I then add several cloves of garlic (at least 5) chopped, at least a cube of butter, a 16 oz. carton of sour cream, 3 cartons of fresh sliced mushrooms from the produce section, one can of milk, and several tablespoons of paprika. Ta da! Secret, easy Hungarian Mushroom Soup.

Brussel Sprouts: For this I am going to give you a link to a great local cooking blog. A lot of people like to serve brussel sprouts during the holidays, and I believe there is some kind of superstition having to do with good luck when you eat them on New Year’s Eve. Anyway, this recipe is so good I can hardly describe it. The way you cook them is easy, involves lots of heavy cream and freshly squeezed lemon juice at the end. This method takes some of the “bite” our of them, and ends up sending you back for more till there are no leftovers. It’s that good (if you like brussel sprouts that is… and if you don’t, I’d suggest trying them this way to see if you change your mind). Here’s the link: Creamy Braised Brussel Sprouts

Ok, Addendum- Check.  Closing Coordination- Check. Research- Check. Repair schedule- Check. Update Clients- Check. Documents Emailed- Check… Off to decorate the tree!

Happy Holiday Cooking to each of you.

Very Best,

Linda
