By the end of the month a total of 28 sales had closed since January 1st and 15 of those sales closed in March, more than half of the year totals. Six of those sales went pending in March and closed. All of those sales were cash and four on leased land in the Mt. Hood National Forest.

            Mt. Hood march sales for 2013

 

This is a surprise because the total market time for the homes that sold was 365 days. How could this be? Well our data base is quite small so things get a bit skewed in the numbers. One property at 25488 E CEDAR GLEN LOOP had a cumulative marketing time of 1412 days.... yes that is FOUR years on the market!

There is plenty of inventory on the market on Mt. Hood and we expect an active year.
