Zig Zag Riverfront Cabin in the Mt. Hood National Forest

Sunday, April 8, 2018
by Liz Warren

Zig Zag Riverfront Mt. Hood National forest service cabin located near Rhododendron! This is a great ski cabin with an open floor plan with a soaring river rock fireplace and a wall of windows to look out on the forested setting. Hard wood floors and a cozy toe warming wood stove that warms you up after a day on the Mt. Hood ski slopes!

 

Only 15 minutes to premium Mt. Hood skiing. The pristine setting of the mountain forest is hard to find and with such a quick drive from Portland it’s worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the city, loud noises and traffic. You’ll love summers on the mountain for cooling off on mountain trails and taking a bike ride in the nearby Sandy Ridge Mountain Biking Park.

 

Forget those hours in the car over the weekends to hit the ski slopes and battle parking. This cuts your trips to the slopes down to minutes! $279,950

Mt. Hood Land Swap

Sunday, December 31, 2017
by Liz Warren

The "Mt. Hood Cooper Spur Land Exchange Clarification Act"is heading to Trump's desk to get signed into law. It's been a long time coming and was actually originally passed in 2009  as part of a wilderness designation. It was to be implemented within 16 months of passage by the Forest Service but so many delays, including a law suit against the forest service, as pushed this out for many years. 

This bill was written to protect land conservation and recreation in the Mt. Hood National Forest. The trade is for property in the Cooper Spur ski area swapped for  around 100 acres of land near Government Camp.  Here's the approximate location for the swap near Government Camp. 

Government Camp Land Swap with Cooper Spur and Government Camp

 

More information can be found about the swap in this Hood River News article. 

Environmental Impact Statement

This could bode well for future development areas in Government Camp which is lacking in further land available for building homes and condos. Skiers will relish having more choices in the future and perhaps more affordable options down the road.

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!

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!

Year over Year appreciation for Oregon

 

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.
