November 2013 Sales for Mt. Hood Skyrocket this Fall

Saturday, December 14, 2013
by Liz Warren

November closings for 2013 continue to ROCK on the mountain with eighteen closed sales for the month! Government Camp sales really pushed numbers up with three Collins Lake Condos closing. Plus, three single family residential home sales at the higher end of the pricing point. Two of the three were in the Alpenglade subdivision hovering at the $700,000 mark and one was new construction in the subdivision on the Ski Bowl side of the hiway 26 called Tyrolean Meadows. This new construction home, built by the developer of Tyrolean Meadows closed at $630,000.

Three forest service cabins closed. Two of these cabins were under $50,000! These are unheard of prices that we haven't seen in decades. I'm not kidding. We haven't seen a cabin sell in this price since the 1980's.

Three distressed properties, foreclosures or short sales, also sold in November. To complete the total, two land sales also closed!

Here is a complete list of the sales. If you have any questions about the market or these specific sales, let me know and I would be pleased to provide additional information.

by Liz Warren

This fall continues with record numbers of sales totaling nineteen for October 2013! This has been a spectacular number of closings and the most we've seen in five plus years.

Three of these sales were distressed either foreclosure or short sales. Five sales for Government Camp this month including two condos! After a complete drought of Condo sales for Government Camp over the past three to four years with low prices and lots of distressed sales there's finally some serious movement in this market!

Numbers are out for October 2013 Real Estate Sales on Mt. Hood

Saturday, November 16, 2013
by Liz Warren

RMLS has released the sale info for October 2013 for Mt. Hood and we're still rocking with nineteen closed properties in that month! You can tell some of the lingering inventory has finally gone away with many short sales finally coming to fruition. A whopping average of 242 days on market for these 19 sales! That is a long marketing time. The government shut down for two weeks put many buyers on hold as things were sorted out so it caused quite a dent in the pending sales department down a total of 40% from last year at this time. Now is the time to take advantage of these still super low interest rates!

Fourteen September Sales on Mt. Hood

Saturday, October 19, 2013
by Liz Warren

Today's buying opportunities can't be beat! Recreation lovers are snapping up Government Camp condos like never before. A total of five Government Camp condos sold in September with the luxury Grand Lodges  hitting a record number with three sales in one month. Three of the fourteen sales were short sales. There's been a record number of short sales on the mountain this year with more to come. Our equities have not been rising at the same rate as Portland Metro area with around 12.5% over the past year. We hope the increase in Portland's home equities will eventually come to the mountain to help boost our sales too!

Fall Sales on Mt. Hood Are Solid

Saturday, October 19, 2013
by Liz Warren

Fall real estate sales for the Mt. Hood area have been consistent with the rest of the year. Although the RMLS reports a total of 11 sales in Welches, Government Camp, Brightwood and Rhododendron, the real number is 14 for the month.

        Mt. Hood Real Estate sales for September

Take a look at the total market time for the month! 340 days average. Where did that number come from? Well, with three out of the 11 sales being short sales with over 300 and 400 days on the market, it really skews the statistics in a negative way. So don't take this as a true number for all recent September sales.

There's no doubt it, there's plenty of inventory out there with 146 properties for sale. Even more came on the market in September with 26 new listings. Sellers coming to the market based on the good news that things are picking up and the real estate market is stabilizing. October saw a major stall out with the government shut down and the anxiety of the debt ceiling left many buyers on the side lines. Now that the drama is over for the time being I expect inventory to stay strong through the fall.
