Featured Property

Marjorie 021Marjorie 004Marjorie 002Marjorie 015I’d like to introduce you to my new listing in Lake Oswego at 17380 Marjorie Ave. Located in the heart of Palisades, this house enjoys a fantastic, very large lot. The big, grassy backyard is perfect for play and active living. The house was built in 1960, but has had quite a lot of recent updating. Recent improvements include: roof, gutters, electric panel, furnace, windows, exterior paint, and carpet. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. While the master does not have a bath attached, the bath that is closest to the master has a jetted tub. Both baths have been updated, as has the kitchen with newer cabinets and a gas range.

Priced at $359,000, it is easily the best value currently available in Palisades. To get further information or to make an appointment to see the interior, this weekend please call Linda Rossi at 501-318-2116.

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:

Someone flipped a switch around mid-late December, and it’s been nothing but “up” for the Portland real estate market ever since!  You’ve probably noticed, (unless it’s just the circles I run in : ) it’s been the topic on everyone’s lips for months… and doesn’t appear to show signs of slowing down or giving up the spotlight any time soon.

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

  • At 2,125, Closed Sales were a 9.8% increase over March, and a 16.6% increase over April of 2012.
  • There were 3,623 New Listings, which is an increase of 20.7% over March 2013.
  • The Average Sale Price in April was $302,600, up from $299,000 in March 2013.
  • Pending Sales (accepted offers) increased from March 2013 by 11.9% to 2,942.

For our Property Blotter readers, the combined area of Lake Oswego and West Linn also reported fantastic numbers:

    • 466 Active Listings
    • 252 New Listings
    • 160 Pending Sales
    • 113 Closed Sales
    • An average Sale Price of $448,600.
    • Average Time on the Market: 118 Days

Market Activity ~ May 6-12, 2013

FamilyI think Dianne said it best last week…. real estate has become fun again! People are pursuing their dreams… upsizing, downsizing, moving closer to work, getting that backyard gardening space or that basement they’ve always wanted… and getting that interest rate they’ve always wanted too! : ) It’s really fun for us to be a part of helping those things to happen. Not that there aren’t challenges, and people still fighting through those (we like helping these people too), but the general market “feeling” is on the upswing.

Last week there were 20 New properties going on the market in Lake Oswego, 27 that went to Pending status, and 16 that Sold/Closed.

Here are further details regarding last week’s Market Activity according to RMLS:

News & Notes ~ Happenings & Market Data

  • Oswego-LakeDuring the period of May 15th and August 31st, Lake Oswego Police will be conducting undercover operations using decoys to determine whether establishments are serving alcohol to underage individuals.  Lake Oswego is being proactive in implementing this program to circumvent alcohol-related incidents involving minors in Lake Oswego.  According to the Dept of Health & Human Services and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Underage alcohol use is a major public health problem. Alcohol is the most commonly used drug in the United States, more than tobacco and illicit drugs, and is responsible for 4,700 deaths of underage persons annually.
  • The 37th Annual “Lake Run” will be held in Lake Oswego on Saturday, May 11th. There will be a kids dash, a 5k for walkers or runners, and a 10k challenge with an “improved new route”.  This event draws thousands every year.  Come enjoy the fun in Millenium Plaza Park with entertainment, lots of great food, and exposition booths.  For more information CLICK HERE.
  • The 2013 Community Survey results show, among other things, that:

* Overall, residents rate the city 8.6 on a 10-point scale, so satisfaction is high as “a place to live”.

* Residents let their “grade” for satisfaction with local government slip to 3.3 on a 5-point scale.  (This is down .1 since 2010, and .5 since 2005)

* 52%, a majority, agree that the city makes efficient use of tax dollars.

* As for the most popular sources of information, 63% of Lake Oswego residents get their information from the Lake Oswego Review and 58% from the Hello LO newsletter among other publications.

* For the detailed report CLICK HERE.

  • Here is a bit of data illustrating how Lake Oswego compares in context with the larger Portland market (you may want to zoom… sorry for the small-ish image…. interesting though, eh?):

Portland May 2013

***Note that Appreciation is based on a comparison of the rolling average sale price for the last 12 months (4/1/12-3/31/13) with the 12 months prior (4/1/11-3/31/12). Days on Market is the number of days from when a property is listed to when an offer is accepted on that same property. If a property is re-listed within 31 days, DOM continues to accrue; however, it does not include the time that it was off the market
