It's that time of the year where many folks head up to the Mt Hood Forest to cut their own Christmas trees. Permits are available at many locations and are only $5.00 per permit with a limit of five per household. The height limit is twelve feet unless you pay a little extra.
Here are the locations to purchase permit for the forest:
This past opening weekend for skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows and Timberline lacked a bit snow to really bring out any crowds. The forecast this week doesn't bod well for skiers and boarders but Thanksgiving travel looks great compared to the rest of the country!
Local businesses and ski areas love Thanksgiving and lack of snow on Mt. Hood creates a difficult economic scene for local merchants in Welches and Government Camp. Check out the balmy weather for the rest of this week.
It could be the perfect week for day trips to Mt. Hood to tour Timberline Lodge, visit the Mt. Hood Brewery for some famous Ice Axe, or hit the links at the Resort at the Mountain! For evenings there's always live music at the Skyway. Have a great Thanksgiving!
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!
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!
Passes purchased for the season? Gearing up for Thanksgiving snow? Ski swap purchases made? Seen Warren Miller's Ticket To Ride? All that's left is your Government Camp getaway at Collins Lake. Four to choose from today. Cut the drive out and enjoy your winter!
