July 3rd Report: Inventory is way up!

by Liz Warren

Summer has finally hit the mountain with warm temps and hazy Northern California smoke interrupting our Mt. Hood views. Along with the smoke rolling in we are seeing increasing inventory of properties rolling in.  All price ranges are seeing jumps in active numbers. Take a look at the info below to see the current numbers.  Average days on market have hit 106 with a  22 month supply of homes currently for sale.  Of course some price ranges are moving better than others. The majority of the homes sold in the past twelve months were in the $225,000-$235,000 range.

If there was ever a great time to purchase on the mountain it is right now. Interest rates are historically screamingly low hovering at 6.3-6.5% and a large choice in inventory. It’s a buyer’s paradise.

We suspect as the 4th of July weekend moves on we will see the bargain hunters emerge.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Charlie's Little Log Cabin in Government Camp

by Liz Warren

Step back in time with Charlie’s Little Log Cabin in Government Camp. This is a 1926 original that’s been kept up over the years. It has all the basics you’ll need from a wood stove insert to the claw foot tub. A “just right” kitchen with everything you need to get the pancakes going for Sunday morning!

 

You can walk to sledding hills, ski slopes and restaurants from this great location. The cabin sits on a plowed road on a 50 X 100 lot. Buy your cabin now and rebuild when you’re ready for a grand chalet!

 

There are two bedrooms upstairs that are cozy as can be. The snow will slide right off your metal roof. It’s connected to sewer and water and sits next to a road that isn’t currently plowed so there’s plenty of elbow room at this place.

 

This cabin feels like old times of Government Camp when Timberline Lodge was just under construction. It’s truly an original!
