My Favorite Things To Do In Lake Oswego

Hello to all our Property Blotter readers!

Well, summer is in full swing and Dianne and I are running like crazy (no… still not too busy for you).

I thought I’d just muse a bit about a few of my favorite things to do in Lake Oswego:

  • I love to start out in the early morning hours at the Palisades Starbucks with a friend and cross over in a nice, brisk walk toward Hallinan.  There are a few uphill spots, but mostly it’s a nice flat walk that winds through picturesque Freepons Park with its walking trails (if you care to deviate and explore), creek, little bridge & friendly neighbors.  Then on to Hallinan Elementary School, where you can continue the walk around the field, or head back for a nice cup of coffee!  More About Palisades
  • Considering my former career as a blues, funk & soul vocalist, I have a lot of friends in the music biz around the Portland area.  I like to go support live music and visit them when they’re in Lake Oswego! Portland is a big blues town, and Lake Oswego is folded right in there.  The Gemini Pub on State Street is a fantastic local haunt that features the best bands in the area, and region.  The feeling is relaxed, the music is great, and the walk home (if you live in Lake Oswego) is extremely pleasant after a full night of music and merriment.  Gemini Bar & Grill
  • Dianne wrote extensively about the summer Concert Series in the park.  Again, the very best music in the northwest right there in the cool Lake Oswego breeze. Sit back with your feet in the grass and listen to the sounds of fantastic music and water lapping the shore of the Willamette River.  Summer Concerts
  • I just LOVED the Lake Twin Cinema. They have been remodeling, so its a mystery what the theatre will be like going into the future (hopefully even better!), but to me, it WAS Lake Oswego just as it was.  When I first moved to Lake Oswego I marveled at its living room feel around the fireplace in the lobby, and how pleasant it can be to wait in line for a popular movie while you gaze at Lake Oswego through the big windows seemingly placed there for that purpose.  But the best thing about the Lake Twin Cinema was the people.  Truly, you had to experience it to understand how stellar the staff is/was.   Read More Here About August Re-Opening!
  • The Dog Park on Stafford Rd is without peer.  There are two fenced free run areas where owners can let their dogs run free, play fetch, chat with neighbors, and just enjoy the wide open feel right there at Luscher Farm & next to Hazelia Field ballpark. One part is for smaller dogs, and the other is for bigger, more rambunctious ones. Just a joy to have this in the community. Hazelia Field Dog Park

Ok… gotta run.  I’ll share more with you about my favorite things in Lake Oswego another time : )

Very Best,

Linda

News & Notes

Here is the latest data for you on the overall Portland area, as well as specific Lake Oswego/West Linn (RMLS lumps them together) activity:

June numbers were very good, as we’d expect given the trends lately. That said, the trend upward in all numbers cooled just a bit.  Most believe this was due to some fluctuation in mortgage rates in June that had some people re-figuring their numbers.  I’ve also seen quite a few people trying to grab houses before they go to someone else, and then changing their mind about that particular home.  Bottom line, the market is hot, AND, think before you offer. Make sure you Love it : )

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area June, 2013:

  • At 2,511, Closed Sales were a 6.4% decrease from May, and a 11.9% increase over June of 2012.
  • There were 3,751 New Listings in June. This was a drop of 2.1% from May, and an increase of 16.9% over June of 2012.
  • The Average Sale Price in May was $313,900, down $3,000. from $316,600 in May 2013.  …Average Sale Price in June 2012 was $284,100.
  • Pending Sales (accepted offers) also decreased a bit from May 2013, from 2978  to 2804  in June.

For our Property Blotter readers, the combined area of Lake Oswego and West Linn reported a mixed bag of up in some categories and slightly down in others:

    • 517 Active Listings
    • 238 New Listings
    • 152Pending Sales
    • 174 Closed Sales
    • An average Sale Price of $447,800.
    • Average Time on the Market: 74Days
