Market Activity April 20-26, 2020

I think that the market activity is about half of what is normal for this time of year. Pending sales appear to be holding fairly steady with about 10 properties accepting offers each of the last several weeks. Check out the days on the market for the pending properties. Of the 10 pending sales 8 sold in 25 days or less. Along with the 8 pending sales, last week Lake Oswego saw 6 properties come on the market and 8 sold/closed sales.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

News & Notes ~ March 2020 Numbers

Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (March 2020) and how Lake Oswego fits in to this picture just below.

Inventory remains low and so basically, we have a housing shortage going on right now. Mortgage Rates are at 3.3% as of this writing. For the most part, Portland Real Estate is holding steady with prices improving and New Listings and Closed Sales, for instance up right around 25% from last month along with  Areas in & around Gresham, Oregon City, Milwaukie/Clackamas, & Hillsboro, are still the strongest as far as Appreciation goes.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area, March 2020:

Market Activity April 6-12, 2020

Doing this market activity report is super interesting in today’s market. Each week I am so eager to see what the numbers are. What I feel is happening is that yes, we’ve had a contraction in the market, but that it is stable. For the last few weeks the numbers have been pretty consistent. I think we have about half of what I would call “normal” activity, but it’s steady. In Lake Oswego last week we had 14 properties come onto the market, 11 accepted offers that put properties into pending status, and 13 closed/sold sales. While it is less than normal for April, it’s balanced. The range is 11-14 for all three categories.

What Renewal Looks Like in 2020

Rod Long

As we all slow down a bit, most of us celebrate renewal this time of year with Easter, Passover or other traditions.  As I was out showing properties today, I was noticing the way we really are all in this together. Standing six feel apart with our masks on, I slowly and carefully remove the keys from the lockbox with a sanitizing wipe and move through all the precautions we are taking nowadays… fresh booties at each house, gloves, more wipes, hand sanitizer… We carefully tiptoe into people’s homes pondering if this one might be “the one”, careful to respect the human life that inhabits each home and leaving everything untouched and “safe” for those who follow behind or return home. We are all slowed down together.  Still moving forward with our various dreams and plans… just a little slower and a bit more thoughtfully. Considering each other slightly more seriously. Considering ourselves. It is a very sweet realization amid the madness… to see and to help the dreams unfold, and again to notice the truth of the fact that we really are all in this together.

How poignant the holiday of renewal at this moment in time.

May each of our dear Property Blotter readers be safe & healthy, and may your dreams stay intact and your plans proceed unhindered. My hope is that we all emerge with a renewed & lasting appreciation for each other and our unique yet intertwined lives in the years ahead.

Market Activity ~ March 30-April 5, 2020

I thought I’d look at the same approx week last year and see what the stats looked like. Here is the summary:  “Last week 29 New properties entered the market, 16 moved to Pending status, and 15 were “Closed”/Sold. There are a total of 237 homes for sale in Lake Oswego right now.”

THIS year/Last week in Lake Oswego, 15 New properties entered the market, 7 moved to Pending status, and 11 were “Closed”/Sold. We also have 211 homes for sale here, right now.

What this tells me is that people were slowed-down on making Offers last week, but properties are still hitting the market, inventory is about the same albeit a little under last year, and the number of sales is pretty close to what it was a year ago. Basically… I get the feeling that people are rightly spooked about the health crisis, but are taking extreme precautions and at the same time not letting that stop them from carrying on with their dreams inasmuch as selling or buying is the vehicle to that dream.

Dianne and I are here for virtual consulting appointments if you’ve been thinking about exploring a life change adventure in Lake Oswego! Interest rates are looking really good, and there are lots of properties out there.

We’re all going to come out on the other side of this if we’re staying safe and moving carefully… step by step. We can help.

Market Activity March 23-29, 2020

Based upon the numbers from last week’s market activity, I think we are seeing a contraction in the market place. In Lake Oswego we had 11 properties come onto the market, 8 move into pending status, and 14 sold/closed sales. The silver lining is that of the 8 pending sales, 6 sold in less than a week. So buyers are out there and they are ready to make a move.

I also want to say that Linda and I have been in this business long enough, through 9/11 and the great recession, to know that real estate never stops. This is because people’s lives happen. Babies are born, folks get divorced or transferred, life does not stop. If you need to make a move, you can still do that. Linda and I will do everything in our power to make your move as smooth as possible. We are here to help.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:

Real Estate in the Time of COVID

Dear Property Blotter Readers,

Dianne and I are thinking of you during this challenging moment & wishing health and peace to you and yours. I hope this is a time of staying at home with your loved ones & enjoying some things you usually don’t get to enjoy.

I’m told by my trusted Mortgage Advisors that mortgage interest rates are supposed to dip to 3-ish again shortly as that zero interest rate flushes out the crush that happened a few weeks ago when they went down that low (the saturation pushed them back up to 4-ish for a time). Sales are actually moving along really well in Lake Oswego and the overall Portland area right now (see Market Report). Prices are lowering in some cases and being pushed up in others with multiple offers. In other words- the usual, and right now we have 182 Active Properties for sale in Lake Oswego, with 87 currently Pending and 22 Sold/Closed last week. 22 of those Active Properties went on the market just last week.

The other day RMLS removed the Open House section from the site. Some Agents will still choose to have them and be very careful, but most are not doing so out of an appropriate abundance of caution, for now. Everyone is being extremely careful with sanitizing everything and following Seller guidelines for private in-person showings. Buyers are demonstrating a bit more discernment up front & are seeing only properties they’ve decided are on their “serious” list, which cuts down on any potential exposure for everyone as we all do our part. Typically hand-sanitizer is out, booties are used for shoes, Buyers are advised not to touch anything (for them and for the Seller) and Agents will generally wipe the lockbox, door handles, switches etc. Buyers are encouraged to bring their own wipes & sanitizer with them and to wear gloves and/or masks as warranted either by Seller instruction or their own sensibilities. Some Sellers will want their own Agent at showings to observe that nothing is touched in the home so that their Seller can return home with their mind at ease, and/but either way, Agents are doing their utmost to ensure safe protocols are followed.

As for promoting Listings, there are, of course, cool tools that can and are being promoted more liberally like Virtual Open Houses, Video Walk-Through’s and other things. Ask me if you’re interested in learning more about that.

In general, we all are in this together, and the camaraderie at-a-distance and diligence in every sector of the real estate community is truly impressive ~ People helping people fulfill their life-goals and stay safe & healthy in the process.

Please take care and do get in touch with me or with Dianne if you have a life-goal you don’t really want to put off ; ) We can make it happen, efficiently and safely.

Be Well~
Linda

People have important reasons for either Buying or Selling a home, and those reasons remain even when storms rage outside. The real estate market in the overall area is very busy.

Market Activity March 9-15, 2020

I was really excited to do this market activity report. What’s on my mind is also what is on yours, the coronavirus. How is it affecting the real estate market? Well, as of last week, not much. New listings in Lake Oswego numbered 18, pending sales were 16 and closed/sold properties were 10. That’s right in line with what we have been experiencing. This is not to say that the coronavirus will not have an impact, but I like numbers. Numbers are factual. I think the importance of the market activity reports that Linda and I do has increased substantially.

Following is the breakdown for you according to RMLS:
