News & Notes ~ Feb 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 February 2021:           Inventory is holding steady with one month of supply available.  Competition is heavy, though we finally see more properties hitting the market now in March, which should alleviate that a little.  Competition pushes prices up as you can see in the Neighborhood Report below comparing January & February prices. Rolling 12-month Appreciation rates in all areas are up.

Mortgage rates will be rising inspired by the economy’s steady recovery. Today’s rates are hovering around 3% or a little higher based on a number of factors, but most can “buy the rate down” a bit & get it lowered. My trusted Mortgage Advisors can give you  more info.      

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

  • There were 2,474 New Listings in Feb 2021 decreased  10.3% from Feb of 2020’s 2,759  and also dropped 4.1% from the previous month/January’s 2,579.
  • At 1,978, Feb 2021’s Closed Sales are up 4.3% from Feb 2020’s 1,897, and also up 7.1% from the previous month/January’s total of 1,847
  • At 2,208, Feb 2021’s Pending Sales are down 15% from Feb 2020’s 2,598, and also down 11.5% from the previous month/January’s total of 2,496.
  • The Average Sale Price in Feb 2021 of $542,000 is up $84,100 from last year/Feb 2020’s $457,900, and up $27,300. from the previous month/January’s $514,700.   
  • The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in Feb 2021 of $470,100 rose $63,100 from last year/Feb 2020’s $407,000, and also increased 10,100 from the previous month/January’s $460,000.

                                        LAKE OSWEGO

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

  • 82 Active Listings (Jan 84)
  • 97 New Listings    (Jan 112)
  • 92 Pending Sales  (Jan 121)
  • 92 Closed Sales    (Jan 97)
  • Average Sale Price for Feb: $876,900  (Jan $812,700)
    • 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.

Last week we saw only 5 properties enter the market, 13 moved to Pending status and 20 Sold/Closed. There are 66 fabulous properties available right now in Lake Oswego! The market is very tight. This is the time of year we start to see properties hit the market so time will tell if we’ve got a wave of properties coming up, but for now, rates are low & inching higher… its a good time to call a skilled Realtor to help you secure a home. Dianne and I are always a phone, text or email away.

News & Notes ~ Jan 2021 Numbers

Overview/Fluctuations ~  Portland Area Market Data Jan 2021: 

The big story in January is that our Inventory increased from .8 to 1.0 months of supply. If you  think that’s not much, you’re right! We continue to be at record lows in available homes. Last year in January we had 2.2 months of Inventory, which was low. The previous year (Jan 2019) we had 3.3 months of Inventory. So, the field is still competitive out there which means it is a terrific time to sell a home and if you’re buying, rates are still low hovering around 3.125, so better not to wait!

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

  • There were 2,579 New Listings in Jan 2021 decreased  6.4% from Jan of 2020’s 2,754, and increased 48.2% from the previous month/Dec’s 1,740.

News & Notes ~ Nov 2020 Numbers

Here is your look at the most recent data for the entire Portland area (Nov2020) and how Lake Oswego fits in to this picture just below.

Overview/Fluctuations ~  Market Data Nov 2020:                                  

Inventory is now at 1.0 months of supply here, locally. The lowest it’s ever been. All forecasts are for continued increases in home sales and prices, though more modestly than 2020. Prediction #’s vary among economists. National Association of Realtors (NAR) is predicting a 7.3% increase in sales  nationally in 2021. Interest rates are still hovering around 2.875% but are expected to rise, albeit not dramatically. One very interesting item I noted from the NAR information is that nationally,  1 in 6 home purchases is now “multi-generational”. So, how we live is changing in many ways:  People are looking for more space to work from home, and generations are moving in together. There is generally more up-sizing than down-sizing going on.

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

  • There were 2,238 New Listings in Nov 2020 increased 5.7% from Nov of 2019’s 2,118,  and decreased a whopping 36.3% from the previous month/Oct’s 3,515.
  • At 2,745, Nov 2020’s Closed Sales are up 12.4% from Nov 2019’s 2,191, and decreased 13.0% from the previous month/Oct 2020’s total of 3,155
  • At 2,557, Nov 2020’s Pending Sales are up 12.4% from Nov 2019’s 2,274, and dropped 20.1% from the previous month/Oct 2020’s total of 3,199.
  • The Average Sale Price in Nov 2020 of $521,200 is up $58,600 from last year/Nov 2019’s $462,600, and is up $4,700 from the previous month/Oct 2020’s $516,500.   YTD increase is 7.1%.
  • The “Median” Sale Price (the price smack dab in the middle of all sales) in Nov 2020 of $457,000 rose from last year/Nov2019’s $415,000 by $42,000, and decreased $3,000 from the previous month/Oct 2020’s $460,000. YTD increase is 6.8%.

Neighborhoods: November’s Average Sale Price + 12-month Appreciation:

  • SE Portland:  $478,200                    8.1%   (Oct $477,300) YTD Median: $409,000
  • Gresham/Troutdale:   $425,200    5.2%   (Oct $412,900) YTD Median: $378,000
  • Milwaukie/Clackamas: $510,700 7.7%   (Oct $512,100)  YTD Median: $450,000
  • Oregon City/Canby:   $506,300    6.5%  (Oct $511,300) YTD Median: $440,500
  • Lake Oswego/W Linn:$822,000 10.9%  (Oct $756,600) YTD Median: $645,000
  • West Portland:    $650,400              5.1%   (Oct $685,900) YTD Median: $550,000
  • NW Wash County:  $578,900        6.2%  (Oct $595,600) YTD Median: $527,500
  • Beaverton/Aloha:     $449,100        5.2%  (Oct $451,200)  YTD Median: $417,000
  • Tigard/Wilsonville:   $528,200       9.5%  (Oct $516,700) YTD Median: $479,000
  • Hillsboro/Forest Grove: $444,400 5.6%  (Oct $445,600)YTD Median: $410,000

LAKE OSWEGO:

  • The combined areas of Lake Oswego and West Linn  for  the month of November 2020 reported:
    •  177 Active Listings (Oct 213)
    •  104 New Listings     (Oct 197)
    •  106 Pending Sales   (Oct 193)
    •  166 Closed Sales       (Oct 173)
    • Average Sale Price for Nov: $822,000  (Oct $756,600)
      • 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.
    •  50 Average Days on the Market   (Oct 59)
