Moving to Lake Oswego’s First Addition Neighborhood

Congratulations to Deb and Bill who just closed on this extensively remodeled home that backs up to so Tyron Creek! After deciding to make the move up here from Ashland, OR they took a quick road trip to scout out the different neighborhoods and quickly settled on Lake Oswego’s First Addition. The next day we found their house! Now they get to enjoy easy access to both trails and coffee!

Lucky in Lake Oswego

My lucky clients beat out 5 other offers to score this amazing home in Lake Oswego! We closed today and they are thrilled. After living in West Linn for the last 10 years they were ready to downsize and call LO home. The house is walking distance to the lively downtown area, the river and of course the lake. They will have access to 3 lake easements to enjoy life on the lake. One of their favorite things about the home are the huge windows leading to views of the lake. The home is light & bright with a ton of style. My clients have plans to remodel a few things and make it just right for their family – I cannot wait to share the before and after photos!

Timing is Everything in Lake Oswego

Timing is everything when you are trying to sell and buy a home during a global pandemic. We originally listed the Wood’s home in April but found that the timing wasn’t quite right for their higher price point home. We took a break and waited. In the mean time, the Wood’s tried not to fall in love with too many homes knowing that they still needed to sell theirs first.

By June with the market picking up again we decided to give it another try. We listed the third week of June with a new price & a refreshed front door, house numbers & lighting. Showing activity was up and we received an offer within the first week.

The Wood’s had been eyeing one particular home for a couple of weeks – a 1990’s home in Hallinan that was painted white & remodeled to perfection. By the time we went to see it, the price had dropped significantly and showing activity was way up. The Wood’s made a competitive offer and went pending the same day as their current home!

From the light oak front door to the fresh white paint & white oak floors throughout the home, everything has a zen like feel. The spaces are bright with tons of natural light – perfect for growing a plethora of plants. The master suite is it’s own special sanctuary with a remodeled bathroom and doors to the patio. The kitchen has been refreshed with marbled quartz counters and new appliances. The modern style of the home is everything that the Wood’s wanted.

As luck would have it, we closed on the Wood’s current house & the new house on the same day. Timing is Everything!

 

Amazing in July!

Derek and Michelle first laid eyes on their lovely Lake Oswego home back in March; March 13th to be exact.  They saw this great house online and given that they lived out of state, wondered if we could “video” it for them.  Property videos are one of our most important tools for our out of area buyers, so with the back drop of school closure announcements due to spreading Covid-19 in our area, I headed down to Lake Oswego to take some fun property videos armed with with tons of hand sanitizer (hard to believe but masks weren’t a thing back then), my phone and my Gimble!  OH, no big deal but it also was just about to start snowing… on March 13th.

As I walked around the incredible 1 acre lot, I recall saying on the video, “well, it’s freezing and gloomy and wet right now, but boy, I bet this place is AMAZING in July”.

Well, it is truly amazing in July.  And while yes, it took a few attempts to get an offer accepted, and yes, Covid-19 made everything harder than it should have been, and yes March 13th seems like a lifetime ago, Derek and Michelle and their three kiddos are moving to Lake Oswego to experience the amazing of Lake Oswego July, in person. 

We truly couldn’t be happier for them.  Not everyone has the grit to make an out of state move during a pandemic but if you are up for it like Derek and Michelle, just let us know!  All you need to get started are some fun, HouseLovePDX property videos (and definitely some gloves, masks and lots of hand sanitizer)!
