News & Notes ~ May 2021 Numbers

Here is your look at the latest numbers as released by RMLS for the overall Portland area and how Lake Oswego fits in just below.

Overview/Fluctuations ~  Market Data May 2021:    

                                                                                        

The stats show New Listings dropped a bit (2.3%) in May from April, and/but Accepted Offers rose at the same time by 8%.

Just when we think record lows in Inventory can’t get any lower, they do.  May took us down to 0.7 months of available housing.

Rates are still attractive hovering around 3.125%. Best to get out and get active if you are planning to, given that the Fed indicated last week that they’d be raising rates sooner than previously expected.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report  for the Portland Metro Area, May 2021:

  • There were 3,971 New Listings in May2021 increased 16.1% over April 2020’s 3,419 and decreased 2.3% from the previous month/April’s 4,065.
  • At 3,183, May 2021’s Closed Sales are up 62.1% from May 2020’s 1,963, and also up 8.0% from the previous month/April’s total of 2,946
  • At 3,717, May 2021’s Pending Sales increased 19.4% from May2020’s 3,112, and also rose 9.3% from the previous month/April’s total of 3,400.
  • The Average Sale Price in May2021 of $582,200 is up $114,700 from last year/April 2020’s $467,500, and up $24,300. from the previous month/April’s $557,900.   
  • The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in May 2021 of $515,000 rose $90,000 from last year/May 2020’s $425,000, and also increased $15,000 from the previous month/April’s $500,000.

LAKE OSWEGO:

  • 129 Active Listings (Apr 123)
  • 222 New Listings    (Apr 255)
  • 223 Pending Sales (Apr 218)
  • 199 Closed Sales    (Apr 142)
  • Average Sale Price for May: $928,300  (Apr $818,300)
    • 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.
  •  28 Average Days on the Market   (Apr 33)

News & Notes April 2021 Numbers

Here is your wider Portland Market Report according to RMLS data, with overall Neighborhood changes and Lake Oswego data broken out below.

Overview/Fluctuations ~  Market Data April 2021:                                                      

Record low Inventory continues.  Competition is heavy and/but anecdotally the grapevine says more properties are starting to show up now in May, and I’m seeing & hearing about more Offers accepted at or nearer asking price.  The numbers will tell next month when we look at May’s totals, but that is the buzz. Mortgage rates are still great. The latest, though it varies on a daily basis and from individual to individual, is 3.25-3.35% on a 30-year Conventional loan w/a 700 credit score & 20% down.

  • There were 4,065 New Listings in April 2021 increased 42.8% over April 2020’s 2,487 and increased 17.3% from the previous month/March’s 3,465.
  • At 2,946, April 2021’s Closed Sales are up 46.2% from April 2020’s 2,015, and also up 15.3% from the previous month/March’s total of 2,556
  • At 3,400, April 2021’s Pending Sales increased 66.6% from April 2020’s 2,041, and also jumped up by 1.6% from the previous month/March’s total of 3,346.
  • The Average Sale Price in April 2021 of $557,900 is up $80,500 from last year/April 2020’s $477,400, and up $3,600. from the previous month/March’s $554,300.   
  • The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in April 2021 of $500,000 rose $76,000 from last year/April 2020’s $424,000, and also increased $12,000 from the previous month/March’s $488,000.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report  for the Portland Metro Area, April 2021:

LAKE OSWEGO

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn for the month of April 2021 reported:

  • 123 Active Listings (Mar 112)
  • 255 New Listings    (Mar 188)
  • 218 Pending Sales (Mar 156)
  • 142 Closed Sales    (Mar 112)
  • Average Sale Price for Apr: $818,300  (Mar $944,100)
    • 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.
  •  33 Average Days on the Market   (Mar 77)

News & Notes ~ March 2021 Numbers

Here is your wider Portland Market Report according to RMLS data, with overall Neighborhood changes and Lake Oswego data broken out below.

Overview/Fluctuations ~  Market Data March 2021:                                              

Low Inventory continues to be the driver of competition in the greater Portland area where we see price increases in most neighborhoods/areas from the prior month & all areas increasing over 2020. (See below for breakdown). Comparing 2021 to the same period in 2020 thru March, Overall Average Price has increased 16.6% and Median Price 14.9%.

My trusted Mortgage Advisors say Mortgage rates are hovering around 3.125%. This rate varies and can be reduced with a buy-down, or affected by individual qualifiers. I’m happy to connect you with someone to discuss your particular situation.         

According to the RMLS Market Action Report  for the Portland Metro Area, March 2021:

  • There were 3,465 New Listings in March 2021 decreased only slightly at 0.1% from March 2020’s 3,468 and increased 40.1% from the previous month/February’s 2,474.
  • At 2,556, March 2021’s Closed Sales are up 8.5% from March 2020’s 2,356, and also up 29.2% from the previous month/February’s total of 1,978
  • At 3,346, March 2021’s Pending Sales increased 42.6% from March 2020’s 2,347, and also jumped up by 51.5% from the previous month/February’s total of 2,208.
  • The Average Sale Price in March 2021 of $554,300 is up $88,800 from last year/March2020’s $465,500, and up $12,300. from the previous month/February’s $542,000.   
  • The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in March 2021 of $488,000 rose $63,000 from last year/March 2020’s $425,000, and also increased $8,900 from the previous month/February’s $479,100.

LAKE OSWEGO

The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn for the month of March 2021 reported:

  • 112 Active Listings (Feb 82)
  • 188 New Listings    (Feb 97)
  • 156 Pending Sales (Feb 92)
  • 112 Closed Sales    (Feb 92)
  • Average Sale Price for Mar: $944,100  (Feb $876,900)
    • 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.
  •  77 Average Days on the Market   (Feb 77)
