November Real Estate Sales for Mt. Hood area in 2017

Friday, December 15, 2017
by Liz Warren


Mt. Hood sale numbers have surged this year and the minimal inventory has caused prices to continue to climb. As seen with this November 2017 report from multiple listing, compared to 2016 our prices have climbed nearly 19% over last year. The average sales price has bumped up to $309,400! 

November Real Estate Sales for Mt. Hood Area

Oregon seems to be fairing very well in the scheme of things. Take a look at this map showing price appreciation of the whole state over the past year compared to the rest of the country. There's nearly a 9% difference from last year!

Here's another interesting map of home affordability, or should I say unaffordable as compared  to late 1990's. Oregon ranks right up there with California, Hawaii, and Washington DC. This shows how much Oregon's prices have gone up recently. It actually shows that the state was probably at dirt cheap prices in late 1990 but we've really escalated over the past two decades!

Mt. Hood Summer Sales Boom!

Sunday, September 24, 2017
by Liz Warren

Mt. Hood summer sales boomed with 20 closed sales for the month of August! Believe it or not there were a few sales under $100,000 which is nearly unheard of these days. 

Mt. Hood National forest service cabins dominated the closings with seven sales! One cabin broke all sale records for a price of $337,000! Cabins maintain their popularity on the mountain for their uniqueness and pristine settings which can't be matched by any other properties in the area. 

On another note, Timberline Rim prices are escalating nicely. There's a lack of inventory and with the Rim having a more affordable pricing point, many folks are opting to purchase here for full time living and as a vacation spot. 

Listed below are the 20 sales for August 2017.

HOODLAND FIRE DISTRICT # 74 HAS IMPLEMENTED THEIR INCIDENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE (PHOTO)

Welches, Or - Our Fire District is expecting thousands of visitors from all over the world to travel through or view the eclipse near Mt. Hood. Although the eclipse does not occur until Monday, the influx of visitors is expected to impact our area throughout the weekend starting today, August 17. Highway 26 through the Hoodland corridor could see traffic congestion to the point of gridlock. The public needs to be aware that there are no other major roads to bypass Highway 26 between Sandy and Government Camp.

To prepare for gridlock on Highway 26, Hoodland Fire District is implementing the use of two (2) BMW adventure sport motorcycles staffed with a Paramedic and EMT to respond to emergency incidents ahead of larger fire engines. The two motorcycles were rented from Cascade Back Road Adventures and Rentals out of Wahkiacus, Washington. The "motor-medic" crews will provide advanced medical care as well as scene management or landing zone support and will be equipped with medical, traffic control and landing zone equipment. The Fire District is also utilizing their side-by-side ATV out of the Government Camp substation to reach visitors camping on National Forest lands around the Government Camp area.

Hoodland Fire District would like to remind Fire District residents to be prepared for the Eclipse that will occur this Monday, August 21. Residents are asked to take some proactive measures to minimize the impact. Use common sense. Do not travel over the weekend and especially Monday if you do not have to. If it is necessary, allow yourself plenty of extra time to get to your destination. Remember first responders may also have trouble traveling to calls for service due to roadway congestion; however, there may be some delays in response time.

June Sales Showed Average Mt. Hood Real Estate Prices Surges to $343,300

Saturday, July 22, 2017
by Liz Warren

Check out the June sales statistics from RMLS! The average price of the 14 sales reached $343,300 with year to date average sales price hitting $312,200. These numbers tell the tale of less inventory and rising prices on the mountain.

As of today there are 66 properties for sale with 26 of those over $400,000. Twelve properties are under $200,000 with several in parks, which have rental fees or on leased land in the Mt. Hood National Forest. June saw 32 new listings hit the market and for July there's been a steady stream of new listings.

The rainy spring really delayed sellers getting their properties ready for market. With the shortage of contractors, landscapers, and general services on the mountain getting work done has been a real challenge bringing late comers to the summer market.

Mt. Hood November Real Estate Sales

Sunday, December 18, 2016
by Liz Warren

Multiple listing service just came out with sales info for November on the mountain. A shrinking inventory with only 55 total listings on the market shows prices will rise in 2017 unless new inventory comes on the market. 

 The average sales price is inching up. There’s only eight properties currently on the market under $200,000 and half of those are on leased land. Since leased land cabins are cash only that doesn’t leave much inventory for buyers who need to obtain a mortgage for purchase. 

 Twenty one home and cabin sales closed in the Mt. Hood area. Seven of those were Mt Hood National Forest cabins. All were under $200,000 and driving the sub $200,000 market. The balance of sales were scattered through Timberline Rim, some near the Resort at the Mountain and the rest scattered through other mountain neighborhoods. 

 Three lot parcels closed this month. The interest in land and acreage has increased substantially this year as inventory is depleted and many people are realizing the scarcity of Mt. Hood properties will continue with the pressures of the Portland Metro population putting higher demand on vacation homes that are easy to get to. Our Mt. Hood area is very well developed and future growth is restricted by the bordering National Forest and large timber parcels.

It’s the best time to buy while prices are still affordable!
