Mt. Hood's May Market Action Numbers for Sales

Sunday, June 24, 2012
by Liz Warren

The market action provided by RMLS brings May active, pending and sold statistics for the Mt. Hood area. The past month brought a huge number of properties to the market, nearly 25% of inventory came on this month and June will likely tell a similar story. Many sellers waiting for the market to improve have come to the dance floor. Ten closed sales for the month shows a continuing trend for sales numbers to beat out 2011 but prices have still not gone up due to the amount of inventory currently for sale. Number of days on market is up to 261.

Mt. Hood Area Real Estate Sales for May 2012

Sunday, June 17, 2012
by Liz Warren

May real estate sales on the mountain are consistent with the past several months. Ten sales of  properties have now given a total of 46 sales since the first of the year. Numbers of sales each month have been fairly consistent giving an average of nine sales each month! Plenty of inventory to choose from and with unbelievable 3.75% interest, this is the Primo time to buy in history!

Lets take a look at May's sales. Four of the ten were either bank owner or short sales. Good news in that two sales were over $300,000. There's been more interest in the higher price ranges. Since we are quickly approaching our premium selling summer season I expect the next several months to produce even higher numbers of sales baring any negative economic news.

Sunday, April 15, 2012
by Liz Warren

Numbers are out from the Regional Multiple Listing Service for the Mt. Hood Area. March 2012 statistics are listed in this chart: New listings are coming on the market fairly quickly as we foresee a very competitive summer coming up this year. Pending sales are way up from a year ago likely reflecting the investors and second home buyers scooping up great homes with incredible prices. Market times are still quite long with 182 day averages for current month sales. With Mt. Hood foreclosures making up 50% of sales this month, the impact on pricing will be downward with more foreclosures hitting the market this year. Oregon has 12.5 months of shadow inventory to get through. (see below RMLS chart)

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for January 2012

Thursday, February 9, 2012
by Liz Warren

January 2012 numbers for the Mt. Hood real estate sales have just come in. After a booming fourth quarter in 2011 it looks like we've dropped down substantially in number of closed sales. The first two listed sales are Mt. Hood foreclosures. The third sale located in Brightwood on the Salmon River closed at $195,000 with an original listed price of $275,000 in 11/2010. This cabin had a premium location with a full view of the river. The last property listed was new construction in Government Camp. Anyone who has tried to obtain a new construction loan knows how difficult that process is to get through. Although marketed as a spec home in Government Camp, this property was custom finished to the buyer's tastes.

The majority of the homes in the $500,000 plus price range in Government Camp are not brand new but 10-20 years old. See the current selection of Government Camp homes for sale. foreclosures make up nearly a third of currently pending sales in the Mt. Hood area. Investors are swooping in to purchase in Government Camp-mostly Collins Lake condos, Welches and Rhododendron.
