Reader Karen sends a note asking for an update on monthly home sales for the year to date, compared to years past. Happy to oblige, Karen!
We’re roughly looking at sales volume equal to that of the 1st four months of 2008, but nothing close to the peak 2007 pace. March and April are definitely trending up due to tax incentives, and May will likely fare well, too. The rest of the year….we’ll see.

I’ll try to follow up with a more comprehensive study on year to date pricing.

Hello avid West Linn real estate junkies! I am back with a quick 4-week update on market activity.
It appears a number of buyers snapped up short sale and bank-owned properties over the past month. Many of the pending sales, particularly at the low end of the price scale, were REO (real estate-owned), otherwise known as foreclosures.

Criteria: Homes in the 97068 zip code, listed, ending or sold between the dates listed above as reported by the Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS ). DETACHD refers to Single Family Detached Residence, MFG refers to manufactured housing, and ATTACHD refers to single-family residences with some portion of the structure attached to another property, but not constituting CONDO ownership. DOM stands for days on market, or the number of days from when the listing became active and when it received an acceptable offer.
Ron Ares March 31st, 2010
Not exactly the happiest headline, I will admit.
For my own curiosity, I ran numbers for the West Linn market, and found that nearly 1 in 5 homes for sale is either listed at a price below the mortgage payoff amount (short sale) or has been foreclosed on and is now owned by the bank.
Here’s the breakdown from the RMLS database as of March 29, 2010:
- 384 active properties for sale in West Linn
- 54 short sale properties (14%)
- 19 bank-owned (REO) properties (5%)
I wish I had a way to compare this to previous samples, but the data isn’t easily attainable. The local multiple listing service, RMLS, only recently instituted the ‘short sale’ field in the database, allowing brokers to distinguish these from bank-owned properties. Going forward, these numbers will be more accurate.
Please note, this sample is only for homes actively being marketed, and doesn’t include homes that are merely in default or held off the market by banks as part of the their ‘shadow inventory’ (if it exists).
Ron Ares March 29th, 2010
A relatively quiet beginning of the spring season for West Linn, with just 2 closed sales. A few more will likely trickle in over the next few days to complete the month of March.

Ron Ares March 8th, 2010
Thirty-eight properties make up this week’s list. Twenty-eight new listings, four pending sales, and six closed transactions. Seven of the new listings are new construction homes in the Arbor Cove development off Willamette Falls Drive.
Bargain hunters ruled the week with 4 properties sold at discounts over 25% of the original list price. The property sold on Hall Street was a bank-owned home. The Stafford Hill home was actually originally listed at $3,999,000 going back to July 2005 (1,649 days on market).

Ron Ares March 2nd, 2010
The month-end flurry for February brought nine pending and eight closed sales in the final week.
I’m still working on a solution to link you directly to active properties and hope to solve that by next week’s report.

Ron Ares February 26th, 2010
A reader recently posed a question, asking when the peak real estate market would begin in West Linn.
You might find the graph below charting the number of sales per month interesting:

I would have guessed that 2008′s trending (in red) would have been the standard curve–closed sales peaking in July.
It’s interesting to see how 2009 turned out, with almost an inverse of what you would have expected — higher sales volume at the end of the year.
First-time homebuyer credits? Pent-up demand? Your thoughts?
