Mt. Hood Market Statistics 11/09

by Liz Warren

The good news is that the numbers are still strong for sales through Novemeber this year for Government Camp, Welches, Rhododendron and Brightwood. Since June things have picked up since a major lull starting in the fall of 2008.

Fourteen sales happened in November with a surprising large group of forest service cabins on leased land leading the pack. Five forest service cabins sold this month! One Government Camp chalet sold in November. This is a bit surprising since fall is often the most active time of the year for buyers picking up their winter landing spot for winter activities.

Government Camp Sales

by Liz Warren

The last four months of sales activity has been a bit on the slow side. Despite a nice sized inventory for sale, prices need to come down a bit to get this inventory moving. Here are the three sales. The second sale was a foreclosure and the last sale was a property that had been on the market for four years!

 

Mixed Bag of Mt. Hood Sales in October

by Liz Warren

October sales were a mixed bag of sales. Two foreclosures closed and two forest service cabins on leased land. A big surprise were the upper end properties which closed this month. After a major drought and tightening of financing over the past year a few came to fruition. One of these properties had been for sale nearly FOUR years.

Government Camp totaled three sales as folks were gearing up for this winter of skiing! The number of second homes selling this month show improving economic conditions!

Here are the sales for October

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales

by Liz Warren

July and August pending sales proved to be substantial for the year with the biggest number of closings to date in September. It's been over a year since we have seen a monthly total of fifteen sales! Although there were  none in the over $400.000 range, there were a few in the $300,000 area. Only one forest service cabin closed after the August flurry of sales. On a very positive note, only two of the fifteen sales were bank foreclosures.

Media reports indicate the third quarter of 2009 saw the greatest number of foreclousre filings yet. We are fortunate that the numbers of foreclosures have not hit levels in other states from 50 to 80% of their entire sales numbers.

Here are September's sales:
