Giving

DonateWe’re all focusing on the holidays right now and all that goes along with that, so I thought it might be a good idea to take a look at things we might be wanting to include on our to-do lists & consider taking care of before the end of the year. Namely…Giving!  This is the Celebrating & Giving time of year, and, many want to think ahead about tax time as well.  If you’re going to give anyway…. this is definitely the time to do it!

Here are some worthy ideas for your consideration:

  • In the community of Lake Oswego, there are many organizations doing fantastic work. Click Here for information on a variety of Lake Oswego-based non-profits that could use your help.
  • Here’s a great resource  site to help yopu evaluate the most worthy recipients of your donations based on their research:  The Portland “Give Guide”
  • One of the things that sets Lake Oswego apart is its committment to the arts, and the availability and visibility of art all through the year and on its very streets. If art is important to you, consider donating to the Arts Council.
  • Speaking of giving, I know from my days in a Lake Oswego Schools Booster Club, that every community has needy families.  Some of your kids’ friends may very well have parents who’ve lost a job, or are in some sort of upheaval and wondering how they’re going to be able to pay their bills let alone create a semi normal-feeling holiday for their household .  Your favorite local school probably has names of families in need. Give a call to the school of your choice and think about donating a holiday roast or turkey, or just dropping off a few gifts.  The school counselor usually knows just what to do with this kind of generosity, and you’ll know you really made a difference for some needy family in your own neighborhood.
  • If animals are near and dear to your heart, there are lots of options for donating.  The Oregon Humane Society is an obvious choice, and/but some smaller outfits that take up the slack and don’t have quite the visibility of the OHS would be heart-warmed to receive your donation.  One that is recommended to me by someone in the know is the Family Dogs New Life Shelter. It is a no-kill shelter that does excellent work.
  • Lake Oswego’s Tryon Creek is such a treasure to the community. If nature and its continued availability in communities, and specifically Lake Oswego, is important to you, consider donating to Friends of Tryon Creek.

There are so many great choices, I thought I’d highlight just a few and give you some links to resources that offer many options. Enjoy your holidays, and the Joys that come with the season!

Market Activity ~ Nov 24-30, 2014

snowflake_lgGreetings, Property Blotter readers!  OK, I  will go out on a limb and say that things are slowing down a bit.  I call this the Holiday Black Hole : )  I do business this time of year every year because people either Buy or Sell for so many reasons… most not having to do with the weather… and time of year often plays into the desire to accomplish something (by moving) at or around the time of the turn of the year.  Anyway, I decided that for myself a long time ago, and so it is ; ) But most people take their minds off real estate at this time of year and put them on family, friends, and the things that really matter in Life…  some of us just have “dual duty” in helping to make changes that house the family and friends that we Love, while decorating and toasting with Loved ones all at once!  …and that’s plenty of fun too.

News & Notes

Here is the latest data for you on the overall Portland area, as well as specific Lake Oswego/West Linn (RMLS lumps them together) numbers:

The latest real estate numbers in Portland and the Lake Oswego/West Linn areas for August are in. There’s a mixed bag of improvement generally over last year, and/but continued slowing in August, as in July, from the months prior.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area  August, 2014:

  • At 2,586, August Closed Sales dropped 3.4% from the month prior (July), and 1.4% from August of 2013.
  • There were 3,581 New Listings in August which was 4.6% higher than August 2013, but down a whopping 9.4% from the month prior.
  • The Average Sale Price in August of $340,000 was down exactly $4,470 from the month prior. The first eight months of 2014 are logging an Average Sale Price of $332,600, which is up 7.6% over the same time period in 2013.
  • August Pending Sales (accepted offers), at 2,704, were down 3.5%  from the month prior. They were also slowing in July, which indicates fewer offers being made. That said, the Pending sales for August are up 3.4% over August 2013 .

__________________________________________

In Lake Oswego and West Linn we have some slowing in New Listings from July, and exactly the same number of Pending Listings…which is interesting :  )  The number for Closed Sales (how many were actually completed during August) is down a bit. The number of days it is taking for a property to sell is shrinking… which is a Good thing! As always, the Average Sale Price is higher than Portland Metro numbers. This is because of the percentage of high dollar homes, and does not mean that you can’t find reasonably priced homes here as you can see from our weekly Market Activity Reports.

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn  for August reported:

    • 531Active Listings
    • 185 New Listings
    • 148 Pending Sales
    • 134 Closed Sales
    • An average Sale Price of $520,200.
    • Average Time on the Market: 57 Days
