Memorial Day Weekend

by Liz Warren

If you are traveling along Highway 26 on the West end of Sandy you can't miss the incredible Veteran Traveling Memorial with hundreds of flags flying in the wind. The Field of Honor  memorial is run by the Veterans of Oregon. Each flag has the name of a vet who has served and each flag has flown over our nations Capitol. The Memorial travels all over the state and we are fortunate that Sandy has the honor of the traveling display this Memorial Day weekend. 

If you would like to honor a vet, there is a lot of information on the Oregon Veteran Web Site on how to get a nameplate to honor your veteran for the memorial. 

Thank you for your service VETS!

Mt. Hood Area Inventory Levels

by Liz Warren

The Portland Metro area inventory is at a five year low according to the multiple listing service. Month supply of home for April was 4.7 months. This is the buzz about "listing inventory" shortage in Portland.  Take a look at Grant and Wallowa County though with over three years of inventory to sell. Yikes! 

Mt. Hood Area inventory of residential homes are at a 13 month level. Lots of inventory to choose from and to take advantage of these historically low interest rates!

Mt. Hood Shadow Inventory

Every wonder about how much "shadow inventory" is on our mountain?
