by Liz Warren

On of our top selling properties in the Mt. Hood area are the National Forest cabins in the Cascade foothills along many rivers and creeks near Rhododendron and Government Camp. The recently passed  Cabin Fee Act and has now instilled new forest policy for when a fee will be charged for a change over in the forest service permit. As a buyer of a forest service cabin in the Mt. Hood National Forest this charge will be a part of your closing costs for your purchase. 

If you'd like to review the most frequently asked questions about the new fee you can review it here.        Cabin Fee Act: Frequently Asked Questions

What sold properties closed on Mt. Hood in November 2015

Monday, December 14, 2015
by Liz Warren

Here are the fifteen sales for November 2015.


Mt. Hood real estate sales for November 2015

Mt. Hood National Forest cabin sales once again took off with four completed in November. It seems this year more cabins sold at the first half of the year, summer time slowed down and then fall picked up again. 

Five creek front and riverfront homes sold. Any waterfront properties are the top sellers in our area. Two distressed properties were closed for the month. Although rarely do we have any distressed sales on the mountain any more. One or two to creep into the market

Next month I'll have total numbers for 2015.

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for November 2015

Sunday, December 13, 2015
by Liz Warren

The multiple listing statistics just came out for Mt. Hood sales for the month of November 2015. 

Mt. Hood Real Estate sales for November 2015

November stats show 15 closed sales with the number of pending sales down 20% compared to November 2014. In December we currently have 16 pending sales so with the traditional holiday slow down I expect sales numbers to be close to the same for December's closings. 

There's no doubt 2015 has been the best year we've had for sales on Mt. Hood since the crash of 2008! Interest rates will begin to inch. The reality of low interest rates over the past seven years is going to be a major wake up call for anyone who hasn't experienced historically normal rates of 7 or 8%. 

I'm optimistic about 2016. Usually when interest rates begin to rise more buyers hit the market to take advantage of lower rates so we are expecting increased activity for 2016.

Road 20 Wind Damage-Rhododendron Oregon

Thursday, December 10, 2015
by Liz Warren

Portland is flooding this week but the damage done in a wind storm that blew through the Mt. Hood area in November is still very apparent if you drive up road 20 in the Mt. Hood National Forest.  Along Highway 26 near Toll Gate Campground you will see massive firs fallen parallel to Highway 26. It's a wonder no one was killed along this stretch. 

I have yet to learn how many Mt Hood National Forest cabins were damaged during this storm. On road 20 there are still power lines down and likely many cabins still without electricity if you can even get to the cabin. Like match sticks, big firs were down left and right. Huge shallow root wads litter the forest. Chain saw dust sprinkles the road and driveways. I didn't attempt some of the side roads as the main road was enough to tell the story. 

An army of insurance adjusters were sent to Oregon after this storm and with the pineapple express that came this week they will be lucky to be home by the end of the year.

Mt. Hood Forest Cabins Under $160,000

Friday, July 10, 2015
by Liz Warren

If you need a great getaway from the city that's only one hour away from Portland, there can't be a better choice than a Mt. Hood National Forest cabin. They're located in Government Camp and Rhododendron mostly and the forest is filled with 550 cabins! Although they can only be used as second homes they are often a choice for many second home buyers who want an easy accessible location from Portland. 

Keep in mind there is a yearly permit fee ranging from around $1900 to $2800 to own a cabin. The lease/permit is somewhat like CC and R's in a homeowner's association with the rules of ownership. 

Here is a great selection on the market today for under $160,000. Call or email for details on any of these properties or more information on how leased land works.
