Market Activity ~ August 2-8, 2010

Lake Oswego had 20 New properties enter the market, 12 go to Pending status, and 5 Sold during last week’s Monday – Sunday period according to RMLS.

This must be some kind of a record in this market~4 out of the 5 properties that closed last week were on the market for only around 2 weeks at: 19, 14, 9 & 12 days… total time on the market respectively.  I checked the history reports just to make sure, but sure enough, the info is accurate. Very interesting.

Featured Property ~ 4840 Lamont Way

What a charming home… I just couldn’t resist sharing my new listing with y’all!

1793 SF – 3 Bd – 2 Baths –  + Detached Studio or Shop – $335,000

Nestled on a very large (.28 acres) lot, this is a very private property in one of the hotter neighborhoods in Lake Oswego. Located at the rear of low-maintenance English-Garden-Style Grounds, it offers Privacy, Comfort and Location!

About a block off of Lakeview and easy access off Bryant Rd, this remodeled cottage is very near both Waluga Jr. High School and Bryant Elementary… as well as Shops, Services, Dining, the Lake… and so much more!  It is much larger than it looks from the outside, and for a home with a mature natural setting & gorgeous tall trees, it has tons of light through the multitude of windows and skylights. Though it has lots of vinyl windows, it also boasts really nice updated wooden dual-pane ones that add to the warm feel of this home.

Check out the Newer Kitchen, Dining/Sunroom, New Carpet throughout, Generous Bedrooms, Hardwoods, French Doors, Large Bathroom w/Separate Soaking Tub & Shower upstairs, and Master on the Main Level.

There is a Detached Studio in back that also has incredible loft storage space  (It is 16′ X 20′ & not included in home’s square footage.) Use it as a Guest House, Artist Studio, Shop or Office.

This large lot & super-cute cottage is a Rare Secluded Gem – Could be the site of your future dream home down the line!  For now… Comfort, Space and Privacy in a prime location.

Come visit me Sunday when I’ll be holding it open from 2-4PM!!  (See Photos Below)

News & Notes

~News & Notes~

  • Mortgage Rates fell further last week from the already-lowest level in decades.  Rates for a 30-year conventional loan are now hovering at between 4.5% & 4.75%, even with an increase today of .25 basis points according to Pat Goodell of Academy Mortgage.  Slower economic growth last week was good for mortgage rates and negative for the stock market.  This is actually an interesting point to note- When you see the stock market take a dip, check in on mortgage rates… they will almost always be improving during such periods.
  • The deadline for closing on those transactions taking advantage of the tax credits was finally extended to September 30th. So, that’s very good news for all those who were pushing up against the June 30th closing deadline & not quite making it.  I love second-chances… they’re so American!
  • Woodstove ReminderHave a wood stove?  Planning to buy or sell a home with one? Note that beginning August 1st, 2010, in an effort to control emissions from smoke, when selling a home you will be required to remove the wood stove if it is “uncertified” by the DEQ.  Here is a link for more information: Woodstoves in Oregon
  • Lake Oswego Pricing Snapshot– Today there are 74 Detached Residences for sale in Lake Oswego priced at $350,000 or under.  There are 144 priced between $350,000 and $550,000.  Between $550,000 and 1 million there are 206 properties.  And at 1 million and over there are 105 to choose from.

Market Activity Report ~ June 21-27, 2010

There was good activity with 26 New properties entering the market, 9 going to Pending status, and 11 Sold during last week’s Monday – Sunday period according to RMLS.  Condos and Townhomes are doing well with 1/3 of the Pending Sales and more than 1/3 of the Closed Sales in those categories.  10 of the 26 New properties, and almost half of the Pending Sales are priced under $350,000.   5 out of the 11 Sold were priced above $500,000., so the mid & upper end are also moving.

News & Notes

Real Estate Notes:

Tax Credit Extension Update: Well, most expected HR 4213 to pass the Senate, but it was rejected in a test vote on Monday 52 – 45.  This bill would have extended the mandatory closing deadline for real estate closings to September, thereby cutting some slack to the many Buyers, Escrow officers and Lenders who are working their way through the morass… all with the same deadline.  There is a real concern that as next Wednesday approaches, the bottleneck will strangle many of these deals due to sheer volume and limited capacity and resources to finish on time.

As of today, June 24th, the Senate will “continue considering” the bill, and a number of amendments.  This bill also includes other considerations including extending unemployment benefits, and will reportedly add 80 billion to the deficit. This is the reason being given for it’s defeat in the test vote on Monday in it’s then-current form.
