The Bite Of Mt. Hood 2013!
One of my favorite yearly events is the Bite of Mt. Hood. This is a fun filled fund raising event put on my the local Chamber of Commerce. It's grown into a huge event and has moved into larger accommodations at the Resort at the Mountain in Welches!

Market Numbers for March 2013
Wow, there was a lot of money flying around in March on the mountain. 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.

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.
