Ever wanted to know about that home for sale around the corner?

Why not search homes for sale by address?

For example, if you wanted to look up a home on Southshore Blvd and didn’t know the exact address, just type in (without the quotes) “Southshore” and all the homes currently for sale on Southshore will be listed.

Or you could go to: www.LakeOswegoOregonRealEstate.com and using a map based search, zoom into the neighborhood and street that you want and see what is available.

In school or out for some time now, here is a simple test for you:

1. If the Lake Oswego Public Library ranked in the top 10 in the state for the 2009 Hennen’s American Public Library Ratings in similar population category, but was not 2-10, with a 99% HAPPLR sum, they ranked # ?

Questions 2-7 do not exist.

8. Nationwide, for similar population category, only 7 libraries ranked higher. Therefore Lake Oswego was ranked # ?

9. When was the last time you stopped by Oregon’s #1 and the Nationwide’s #8 public library for similar population category?

For those who are visual and want to know what the real estate market is like in Lake Oswego, here is a chart below that will automatically update itself, so whenever you view it, it is current.

It gets a little colorful but it is broken down by quartiles.

If you are curious about Average Days on Market or the amount of inventory, you will find this information helpful.

The graph below is over a shorter period of 30 days.  Please note that it is not the average price (added and divided by the number of homes) but rather the Median Price (the price at which there are as many homes in the range above it as below it).

Although not a direct correlation, here is a link to a map based representation of homes for sale in Lake Oswego under $300K , $300K-$600K , $600K-$1M , and homes $1M plus .
