Great news for the Mt. Hood real estate market! September rocked with the largest number of sales in YEARS for one month. 24 in total! We are well past 2013 total sales for the year with this month boosting the numbers past last year's totals.  

Here's the review of what sold this past month:

3 foreclosures

4 forest service cabins

2 resort at the mountain homes

4 waterfront homes (non-forest service cabins)

3 Government Camp properties

Fall has hit the mountain and leaves are falling fast. Skiers should be out and about searching for that mountain getaway to make their winter season easier and to cut that drive time down. Plenty of inventory is available for choices.

Smoke Covers Welches From the 36 Pit Fire in Estacada

Wednesday, September 17, 2014
by Liz Warren

It was a hazy smoky day in Welches yesterday as the smoke settled in from the 36 Pit Fire in Estacada. This is a view of Hunchback mountain from Welches Road.  Fire fighters will increase today to  800 as they battle the blaze which has consumed around 3600 acres as of this morning. The fire jumped the river and is threatening 168 homes but fortunately no structures have been lost as of yet. Good news is that we are expecting possible rain soon which will help the firefighters in their battle the rest of the week. Currently the fire is 7% contained!

Distressed Sales of Bank Owned and Short Sales are WAY DOWN!

Monday, July 21, 2014
by Liz Warren

Here are stats from RMLS showing the second quarter number of distressed sales in the Portland Metro area. The Mt. Hood area from Brightwood to Government Camp currently has six distressed sales including five bank owned properties and one short sale for a Collins Lake Condo unit. 

In my opinion, several of the bank owned properties currently for sale are properties that would never receive financing in today's strict lending environment. They were likely refinanced or purchased during the bubble and now in todays' lending arena these homes have problems that will be challenging to fix or overcome. As with any foreclosure, buyer beware. No representations from the bank requires major due diligence.

by Liz Warren

The pace for number of sales continues through June with 19 closed properties! Here are the 19 sales for the month. Total sales for the first half of the year hit 94 which the mountain market hasn't seen since the bubble surge with sales topping over 300 for the year. It's the road to stabilization of the mountain market in 2014.

Mt Hood Sales for June 2014 are In

Monday, July 14, 2014
by Liz Warren

The recent numbers are in from RMLS for June 2014 on Mt. Hood. Here is the recently released chart of sales and information for the Mt. Hood area. 

Mt. Hood real estate sales for June 2014

 

June numbers are standing strong with 20 closed transactions for the month! A surprise is that pending sales in June compared to the year before at this time were down nearly 23% this month. Another surprise is the marketing time of 204 days for the properties which closed this month. Once again we are flushing out inventory and working on getting on a normal market. Different pricing points have much better inventory levels which will cause prices to stabilize and appreciate than others.

Mt. Hood Highway Safety and Preservation Construction Starts This Summer

Tuesday, July 8, 2014
by Liz Warren

Anyone traveling along the Mt. Hood Corridor between Rhododendron and Government Camp to Bend and other East side destinations will need to be ready for delays due to the Mt. Hood Highway Safety Project slated for this summer and fall.

What are the projects?

*Blasting to widen the highway and building a retaining wall to prevent rocks from entering the highway

*Paving 8 miles of road

*A concrete barrier to the road will be installed from above Kiwanas Camp Road to the big curves at Mirror Lake.

What does this mean for locals and travelers coming in to the area?

*Potential one hour delays between 5:30 and 7:30 PM. on Monday through Thursdays while blasting occurs. There potentially will be temporary closures for the trails at Mirror Lake also during blasting. Delays may not take an entire hour. The exact times have not been determined. No work on Sundays and holidays. Work will end in November.

*Intermittent traffic delays of 20 minutes during the entire period of construction reducing the travel lanes to one lane in each direction.

*Lots of truck traffic will be on the roads hauling away the blasted rock.

For updates and additional information on the project visit the Mt. Hood Highway Safety Project site.

An online open house explaining the project in detail can be found on the ODOT site.
