September 11th Memorial – The city will be holding a Memorial at Millennium Plaza Park on Sunday, September 11th from 1 – 2PM. Fire and police personnel will recite all the names of all the public safety people who perished that day. Fire stations will all set off tones at the precise moment the towers fell 10 years ago as well. This is a time of remembrance and respect as the city offers a way for citizens to join together and participate.
“Organically Grown in Oregon” Week – Luscher Farms will be holding an Open House on Saturday, September 17th from 10AM – 3PM. There will be a Tilth plant sale, kids activities, tours, free demos and organic treats! This is an opportunity to visit with farmers from the Community Supported Agriculture program and to hear from Tilth experts. Check out the chickens, the tractor and the Children’s Garden!
The Mayor’s First Annual Community Bike Ride – The new Chief of Police, Don Johnson and Mayor Hoffman will take families on a 12-mile ride around Lake Oswego Sunday, September 18th. They promise to show participants a new perspective on the city. Sounds like fun! Click HERE for more info.

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for July 2011, the combined area of Lake Oswego and West Linn reported:
Even with the Labor Day weekend last week, Lake Oswego saw quite a bit of real estate activity. 15 new listings came onto the market, 14 houses went pending, and 20 houses became closed sales. The high volume of closed sales versus new listings is likely a reflection of people wanting to move in before the start of the school year.
Also interesting, to me, was the percentage of the activity that was condos and attached homes. Condos and attached homes were 33% of the new listings, 57% of the pending sales, and 45% of the closed sales.
Last, I have to point out the 2 closed sales at $1,400,000 and $1,422,500 that sold in just 51 days and 2 days.
These are some rather positive numbers.
