September Sales on Mt. Hood Highest in Years with 24 closed sales!

Sunday, October 12, 2014
by Liz Warren

Great news for the Mt. Hood real estate market! September rocked with the largest number of sales in YEARS for one month. 24 in total! We are well past 2013 total sales for the year with this month boosting the numbers past last year's totals.  

Here's the review of what sold this past month:

3 foreclosures

4 forest service cabins

2 resort at the mountain homes

4 waterfront homes (non-forest service cabins)

3 Government Camp properties

Fall has hit the mountain and leaves are falling fast. Skiers should be out and about searching for that mountain getaway to make their winter season easier and to cut that drive time down. Plenty of inventory is available for choices.

by Liz Warren

The pace for number of sales continues through June with 19 closed properties! Here are the 19 sales for the month. Total sales for the first half of the year hit 94 which the mountain market hasn't seen since the bubble surge with sales topping over 300 for the year. It's the road to stabilization of the mountain market in 2014.

Mt Hood Sales for June 2014 are In

Monday, July 14, 2014
by Liz Warren

The recent numbers are in from RMLS for June 2014 on Mt. Hood. Here is the recently released chart of sales and information for the Mt. Hood area. 

Mt. Hood real estate sales for June 2014

 

June numbers are standing strong with 20 closed transactions for the month! A surprise is that pending sales in June compared to the year before at this time were down nearly 23% this month. Another surprise is the marketing time of 204 days for the properties which closed this month. Once again we are flushing out inventory and working on getting on a normal market. Different pricing points have much better inventory levels which will cause prices to stabilize and appreciate than others.

Timberline Rim Home Sales are Up in 2014

Monday, June 30, 2014
by Liz Warren

One of the more popular areas in the Mt. Hood area is Timberline Rim a subdivision that wraps around the Sandy River in Rhododendron and Brightwood. After going through many foreclosures after the last couple of years, the area has stabilized and equities increased allowing the foreclosures to diminish to a trickle and owners who have been waiting to sell have seized their opportunities. The low HOA of $200 per year make Timberline Rim an attractive alternative to other options in the area. Amenities include a swimming pool open during summer months, tennis court, hoops for basketball, a lodge for meetings and movies, foosball table and pool table too. Common areas bring access to all residents for easy access to the Sandy River. 

The proximity to hiking in the Mt. Hood National Forest, mountain biking at the Sandy Basin Park located just down the road are excellent easy access recreational opportunities. Near by is a 27 hole golf course at the Resort at the Mountain and don't forget year round skiing about a half hour away at Timberline Lodge!

Twelve sales since the beginning of the year in Timberline Rim are the most we have seen in years. Buyers are purchasing full time homes and recreational homes. Here are the most recent sales:

by Liz Warren

Record breaking sales for the month of May bring us into the strongest selling season of the year. We have 21 closed sales for the month bringing the strongest totals in many years. Pending sales are up 100% compared to May 2013. Pent up demand, screaming great interest rates and plenty of inventory is pushing sales numbers up every month. I'm forecasting a super busy summer selling season!

Government Camp Sales Soar

Tuesday, May 13, 2014
by Liz Warren

Which real estate market has seen a surge in 2014? I would have to say it's the Government Camp Condo market so far this year. Since January, Government Camp has led the way in the majority of sales over $300,000 on up for the Mt. Hood area real estate market.  Out of the 23 sales so far this year over $300,000, thirteen of those sales have been in Government Camp and the majority of those are condo sales. 

Leading the pack is Collins Lake of course. Equities have risen steadily with the improved market putting many sellers who purchased during the bubble back in the black so they can sell if they wish.

There were even two Grand Lodges sales so far this year with prices coming in at $495,000 and $569,000. The financing woes are over as comparable sales are plenty and the anxiety of getting condos to "comp out" for financing is gone.

Back in 2009 Government Camp only had eleven sales for the entire year! As skiers and boarders arrive for summer, and they seem to be here early with lack of snow in many areas of the country, we expect the summer market to pick up even more so we are gearing up for a big summer of sales. I expect this year to be the most sales we have seen since 2007.

February Real Estate Sales Numbers are Excellent for Mt. Hood Area

Friday, March 14, 2014
by Liz Warren

The RMLS multiple listing service recent published the total sale numbers for February 2014 and they are rolling in at 15! Considering it's winter time with a mix of crazy freezing weather and recent monsoons, 15 sales is exceptional for this time of year. Pending sales are up 400% compared to February 2013. This should be a great year for mountain sales if we maintain this pace.
