Whoa, this is becoming a good exercise every month, and areas in Portland have shifted in regards to whether they are a buyers, 
sellers or balanced market.
The other day I posted our January 2010 RMLS™ Market Action Report, and indicated that inventory jumped to 12.6 months. I also said that going into Spring, which is a busy selling season, there will be more houses coming on the market adding to that inventory and who knows about all the shadow inventory that has been discussed over-and-over all last year, as to when (or if) that’s going to hit our marketplace.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that according to the stats from our January 2010 RMLS™ report, not one market is a balanced or seller’s market here in Portland. Every single area in the Portland metro area has now become a buyer’s market, even those close-in Portland areas that had been selling due in large part to the tax credits:
- N. Portland= 13.2 months of inventory
- NE Portland=9.2 months of inventory
- SE Portland=8.8 months of inventory
- Gresham/Troutdale=12.4 months of inventory
- Milwaukie/Clackamas=15.3 months of inventory
- Oregon City/Canby=10.6 months of inventory
- Lake Oswego/West Linn=18.4 months of inventory
- West Portland=13.5 months of inventory
- NW Washington Co.=10.6 months of inventory
- Beaverton/Aloha=11.7 months of inventory
- Tigard/Wilsonville=11.4 months of inventory
- Hillsboro/Forest Grove=14.4 months of inventory
Lake Oswego/West Linn, once again, leads the pack with the highest inventory of any other area at 18.4 months. Is this a buyer’s market or what? However, there are still pocket areas in Portland where I know there are multiple offers and some price bidding going on.
A great time to buy – interest rates are still low, many financing programs are available to purchase, lots of inventory to choose from, motivated sellers…get out there this Spring and find your dream home. (P.S. give me a call if you’d like my services as your Realtor®!)

Did you get a new computer, tablet, monitor, or TV for Christmas? I wrote about recycling gift wrap the other day. Starting in 2010 it

The new 2009 school report cards are out and the Lake Oswego School District received the highest marks for each of its 13 schools. The
District has been on a 3-year winning streak and is tops among county districts.
The report cards were first mandated by the state Legislature in 1999 to determine school performance. The evaluations largely used standardized test scores, but attendance, SAT scores, the number of students who took the tests and school improvement are all factors as well.
However, the West Linn-Wilsonville School District isn’t far behind LO and could grab the title, ”best-rated school district in Clackamas County”, away from Lake Oswego soon. West Linn-Wilsonville received the top “outstanding” designation in this year’s report cards with only one school (Inza R. Wood Middle School) receiving a “satisfactory” mark.
Congrats to both school districts, the students and teachers for all their hard work.

Picture of Autumn in Lake Oswego (City-data Website)
Autumn declares its arrival with leaves turning bright crimson, vibrant orange and vivid yellow and it’s one of my favorite times of year. We here in Oregon are fortunate to experience all four seasons and Fall is now in full swing. With schools in session, there is a brief lull before the holidays. Take a trip on some of Oregon’s winding roads that loop and twist through shades of dark green evergreen trees, amid the colored leaves of big leaf maples, alder and mountain ash sometime this week as it’s supposed to be sunny pretty much for the next seven days.
There are some great sites throughout all of Oregon to view the fall leaves. I have a Fall video link on my side bar under my new videos category for viewing. Pretty much anywhere in Oregon you’ll see the changing of colors, however, here are some places of particular interest:
- A drive thru Oregon’s Coast Range
- Forest Park (southwest Portland)
- University of Oregon (Eugene)
- Oregon State University (Corvallis)
- Lewis and Clark College (southwest Portland)
- Marylhurst University (Lake Oswego-West Linn-southwest Portland)
- Reed College (southeast Portland)
- Tryon Creek State Park (southwest Portland)
- Mary S. Young State Park (West Linn)
- Highway 242 – the old McKenzie River Highway from McKenzie Bridge to the top of McKenzie Pass
- Hoyt Arboretum (southwest Portland)
- Japanese Garden (southwest Portland)
- The western section of the Columbia River Gorge (between Portland and Hood River).
- Cook Park (Tigard)
If you want to bring the fall into your own yard, here are some trees recommended for planting:
- Autumn Blaze Maple
- Autumn Flame Maple
- Autumn Purple Ash
- Cascade Snow Cherry
- Chantileer Pear
- Dawn Redwood
- Emerald Queen Norway Maple
- Frontier Elm
- Japanese Stewartia
- Milky Way Kousa Dogwood
- Red Sunset Maple
- Scarlet Oak
- Seiryu Japanese Maple
- Tamarack or Larch
- Vine Maple
As they say on a popular TV show – “Take some time to enjoy the view!”.

HISTORY OF MARYLHURST UNIVERSITY (Watch all these YouTube videos)
From Montreal 12 nuns, the youngest was 18, set sail on a ship to journey for the frontiers of Oregon. The voyage took five weeks and was not without adventure. They had to transfer vessels two times as the ships were in poor condition to set sail, there was a violent storm on sea which threatened to destroy two of the ships but the third – the Northern – landed in Portland October 1, 1859.
On the dock it seemed as if all of Portland’s citizens were there to greet them and they arrived with the boom of a canon. The Sisters had come prepared to educate its children. However, from the moment the doors opened to their new school, they were called upon to care for orphans, the poor, the sick and the despairing. Babies were frequently abandoned on their doorstep. By 1950, there were 800 Sisters and their 18,000 students. Motivated by a deep love of God, and an absolute passion for educating young people, they brought with them from Quebec, what is so deeply integral to their French heritage, a love for the beauty of music and art, and the gift for finding and celebrating God in the natural beauty of creation.
The “Twelve” started St. Mary’s Academy that first year in downtown Portland. Soon the Academy housed a school to educate teachers.
A track of land was purchased in 1906 in Oak Grove and 50 acres on the site of the current Marylhurst location. In the early 1900s, the Sisters’ Province Administration and the Teacher’s College moved to this site on the banks of the Willamette River. Marylhurst University was born. In 1930, it was renamed to Marylhurst College from Saint Mary’s Academy and College. The school and college were combined in 1950. Marylhurst only became co-educational in 1974 and added graduate level programs in the mid-1980s. The name was one again changed to Marylhurst University in 1998.
For more than a century, Marylhurst University has been dedicated to delivering academic excellence in an environment that supports student success. The Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, knew how important it is to educate the “whole” person. They created an engaging learning atmosphere at Marylhurst that fuels the imagination, broadens intellectual horizons and strengthens professional expertise still today.
Sources: As recalled by Sister Jane Hibbard, Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, and Marylhurst University Trustee, at the dedication of Knight’s Green on October 17, 2007, Oregon’s Iron Dream by Mary Goodall, and The Oregon Companion by Richard H. Engeman.
Now these traditions of educating the whole person, ensuring the development of spiritual and artistic growth, cultivating and delighting in a setting of extraordinary natural beauty: all of this is the heritage and pride of Marylhurst

Did you know that Lake Oswego once had a covered bridge? According to an out-of-print book I refer to many times in my blog, Oregon’s Iron Dream by Mary Goodall, in the 1900s there used to be a covered bridge from Lake Oswego to West Linn over what the Native American Indians referred to as Waluga Creek, later called Sucker Creek by early settlers a
nd referred to today as Oswego Creek, near the main highway to West Linn. The creek flows into Palisades Pond and Lake Oswego, then pours into the Willamette River. The covered bridge was close to or in what today is George Rogers Park. There’s a picture of it in my book that’s different from these, but here are the pictures from the City of Lake Oswego’s Historic photo gallery. I’ve tried to reproduce the one I have but it is old and haven’t been able to
do so.
Image from Covered Bridge Society Website
Although the Lake Oswego covered bridge is long gone, there are still many covered bridges remaining from a bye-gone era in Oregon. I’ve been to many of them. My favorite, however, is the one along the McKenzie River. On road trips, I’ve tried to see as many as I could and I know of families who have taken the kids as a summer vacation to see all of them.
Now you can see at least five of them at the Covered Bridge Festival next weekend. I think I’ve seen at least that many so far.

Farmers Markets are extremely popular not only in Oregon but throughout the United States. Fall’s just around the corner and if you thought you’d only be able to pick up fresh produce in the spring and summer months in Oregon, think again!

Last weekend, actually for the past two weekends, I got caught up watching the 2-part TV movie on NBC – Meteor – starring Christopher Lloyd about a space collision that sends a meteor hurtling toward Earth. Did you watch it? In the movie, rockets were launched and the meteor was fired upon. It eventually vaporized and retreated (it was TV after all!). Most of the massive meteorite – called Kassandra – never reached Earth. Before they attacked it, smaller chunks of the meteorite that landed caused major damage throughout the world.
Well, in Oregon, a meteorite did reach Earth and it was found in 1902 on property owned by the Oregon Iron and Steel Company right here in our own Willamette Valley near the City of West Linn. It is called the Willamette Meteorite. It weighed 31,107 lbs.!
You can read more from Wikipedia about the Willamette Meteorite here.
In addition, I have an old book from 1958 by Mary Goodall – “Oregon’s Iron Dream” – that states this about the meteorite:
“The meteorite was discovered by a farmer, Elias G. Hughes, a one-time miner from Wales and by William Dale, a prospector who was living at the Hughes’ home. In prospecting about the hills, the men found what they first believed to be a reef of iron. It was partly embedded in the Earth and was covered with weeds and debris. Mr. Hughes tried to hammer the rock and found it rank like a bell. On further examination, the men decided they had discovered a meteorite and, keeping their find a secret, planned they would try to buy the land on which it reposed. Dale left the State with the avowed intention of selling other properties to raise money to buy the land. He never returned to Oregon.”
“Hughes was unsuccessful in making the land purchase. So, in the summer of 1903, he put into action a plan to move the meteorite to his farm 3/4 a mile away. He trusted no one to help him but his wife, his 15-year old son, and his horse. With infinite care, he fashioned a simple capstan and anchored it with a heavy logging chain. He made a long rope of braided wire to be rolled around the capstan, while his horse traveled around it as a windlass.”
“Next, he built a crude truck of logs with wheels made from sections of large tree trunks. Using heavy, double sheaved pulleys, he then succeeded in hoisting the meteorite upon his log truck. He stretched out the 120′ wire rope, attached one end of it to the truck, the other to the capstan and started the horses around it”.
“The monstrous load moved slowly because the ground was soft and the wheels sank into the earth. Some days he was unable to move more than a truck length; other days it moved 10, 20, and one day, 50′. After 3 months of toil, Hughes brought the meteorite to the edge of his own property”.
“While the moving had been done in dense forest, it had been a secret; but when Farmer Hughes erected a shed over his prized possession and charged a quarter to see it, the word spread and people came flocking.”
“In spite of the fact that sightseers must come by electric street car, then walk 2 miles to see the exhibit, business was good for Farmer Hughes. One of the interested viewers was an attorney for the Oregon Iron and Steel Company. He noticed that the newly-hewn road led to the property of his employers. On November 27, 1903, Hughes found himself as a defendant against the iron and steel company for the possession of his hard-earned prize.”
“The property owner whose land had been crossed in the laborious moving made a counter-suit, claiming that his was the original site of the meteorite. This was disapproved. The circuit court decided for the corporation but Hughes took his case to the Supreme Court.”
“In the hearing which took place in 1905, public sympathy was with Mr. Hughes, the Welsh woodsman who had done this herculean task. Among those who testified at the trial were two elderly Indians, one a Klickitat and one of the Wasco tribe, who described the importance of the meteorite to Indians”.
“The case was decided on July 17, 1905, by Chief Justice Wolverton of the Supreme Court of Oregon in favor of the Oregon Iron and Steel Company.”
The last comment in Mary Goodall’s book on the meteorite chapter says: “Perhaps as man learns more of the secrets of earth satellites and space travel he may unfold secrets to which this celestial visitor may be a clue”. Interesting comment since we just celebrated the 40-year anniversary of walking on the Moon!

With our weather getting nicer, perhaps you’re dreaming of a new kitchen or adding an extra bath to your home. Nothing is more important than your family’s safety. Getting a construction permit before you build or remodel helps protect your loved ones from potentially deadly mistakes. Faulty work can cause house fires, flood damage and structural instability. With a permit, a certified inspector will examine your project to make sure it’s safe and up to code. You and your family can rest easy, avoid costly repairs down the road and preserve your biggest financial investment – your home.
Local agencies throughout the city have their building codes on-line. If you’re planning to update your home by remodeling portions of it, or adding on to an existing structure, you should check out whether a permit is required and what the building code is for your area.
When selling that property you so lovingly remodeled, here in Oregon you will be required to complete a 12-page Property Disclosure form. On that Property Disclosure form Page 3, Line 104 appears the following:
The Property Disclosure specifically asks if you did any additions, remodeling, etc. and if you obtained permits. When selling your house, a buyer can and should ask to see those permits.
Here are the websites for the 3 areas I write about in this blog for building codes and permit information:
- City of Portland
- City of Tigard
- City of Lake Oswego
- City of West Linn
- Clackamas County
- Washington County
- Multnomah County
- State of Oregon

Portland
One of my passions is art. Although I can’t draw or paint, I have other artistic abilities and am always looking to expand my repertoire. Art galleries, art festivals and events are subjects I’ve written about and will be writing more of in future posts.
Last winter I took an art class. When I had first started thinking about taking a class, I didn’t want to go to a community college but somewhere 
that was more personal, in a more relaxed setting and more artistic.
What I found was Ann Munson, artist. Actually, I became acquainted with Ann’s work in 1986 when she was the featured artist for the Lake Oswego Arts Festival and her painting wa
s selected for a poster to adve
rtise the event.
She conducts classes in mosaics, drawing and art, concrete casting and more for adults and children. The classes are held in her greenhouse in West Linn and are conducted in small groups. CLICK HERE for Ann’s upcoming classes. I love her art and creativity! Not only is she an artist, but she’s a gardener as well.
As a member of Local 14 Art Guild, a group of 85 juried women artists, she and her fellow artists put on a sale/show at Ann’s greenhouse. This year the shows will be held in October and December. Check out Ann’s website for details. (All photographs from Ann Munson’s website).

Music & Summer Concerts In & Around Portland, Oregon
One of the many things I love about summer and living in Oregon is there are numerous musical events plus concerts in the parks. Inasmuch as I live only two blocks from one of those parks, I try to go to as many musical events I can. That means just grabbing my chair or blanket, some food or drinks and I’m “good to go”.
There are many locations throughout our area that have concerts or music to enjoy and here are some of them. I’m sure there are plenty more and this could just be a “short list” (I keep adding to this list so check back!). If you just did some of these, you’d be busy all summer long.

It’s that time of year when most Farmers Markets have opened or are opening soon. There’s a great website to check out for all the Farmers Markets in Oregon at ww.oregonfarmersmarkets.org for specific times and locations. With the high price of gas and food, it might be a good idea to visit one of these markets near you. Also, the food and flowers are locally home-grown and most are organic, if not all. The music, laughter, fun and people plus; hopefully, the sunshine will want to get you outdoors.
