Featured Property

16232 Bonaire AveBonaire 002

I am super excited to introduce you to my new listing in the Lake Grove neighborhood of Lake Oswego.  Here are the stats:

Built in 1961 with a master suite addition that was added in 1985

4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, the house has a greatroom floorplan and is 1792 square feet.

This house is all on 1 level.

Now here is the highlight and most outstanding feature:  this house sits on a HUGE lot that is 75′ wide and 262′ deep.  You have space, space, and more space.  There is even a horse shoe pit.  The lot is not dividable, but rather meant to be enjoyed as a wonderful yard.  It is fully fenced.

Bonaire 018

The price of $279,900 reflects the fact that this house needs work.  It still has the original kitchen and baths.  It has been a rental for over 20 years and it is just well worn.  There are still some single-pane windows, although the gas furnace is just 10 years old.

Let me know if you have questions or would like to make an appointment to see the interior.  I’d love to show you this home.

News & Notes

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

According to the RMLS Market Action Report for the Portland Metro Area  January, 2013. At 1,344, Closed Sales were less than December’s 1,760, BUT, amount to the most Closed Sales in any January since 2007!

Market Activity Feb 18-24, 2013

Lake Oswego had 18 new listings enter the market last week, along with 18 homes that received accepted offers and 9 closed sales. What stood out for me, as I looked through the closed sales, is that 3 of the nine sold over the list price, including the house on Middlecrest that sold $51,000 over the list price. Sounds like aggressive multiple offers likely happened on that property.

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