Government Camp Condo Sales
Saturday, February 14, 2015
2014 was the year of the Condo sales in Government Camp. Condo sales hit a total of 27 last year and 23 of those were in Government Camp. The majority sold in Collins Lake, a very popular facility with pools, hot tubs, hiking trails and easy access to Highway 26 for a quick trip to the slopes. There are six Collins Lake Condos for sale today. If Government Camp isn't the landing spot for you, several units in Welches near the Resort at the Mountain might serve your needs.
Grand Lodges was also a hit with buyers. Five units changed hands in 2014. These luxury units are just before Collins Lake on the loop with underground parking and concierge services. Nearly all units overlook Collins Lake making a very scenic setting from the decks. Owners are also able to rent their units out through the Collins Lake office next door too.
If you are thinking about purchasing either one, Collins Lake or Grand Lodges, taking a test drive with a rental is a great option for buyers for these units and easily done through the Collins Lake rental office.
December Real Estate Sales on Mt. Hood
Friday, January 23, 2015
The multiple listing service, commonly called RMLS, has posted the sales for December 2014. December was roaring through with seventeen sales closed and an average sales price of $234,600! From all appearances, inventory that has been on the market is finally clearing out with 203 average days on market.
Inventories are slim right now. All indications are that this year will be one of the best for sales in the past seven years as the economy picks up pace and unemployment is down. The winter activity has been the greatest I've ever seen. Buyers are out looking and our warm winter has provided exceptional access for showings. We're off to a great start this January.

Crazy Week, Crazy Weather
Monday, November 17, 2014
Mt. Hood area residents have had more than a few days of big winds, freezing temps and snow! Lets start with the big winds that knocked out power to many mountain residents, at least a 1,000 in total, with huge gusts taking down big healthy trees and doing a lot of damage throughout the area including the forest service!
Freezing temps that brought the chill of winter early put vacation home owners in a panic in getting their pipes drained down and ready for the extended cold snap!
Then a bit of snow and ice showed up to top it off. Welches has about six inches on the ground and side roads are still fairly treacherous with ice pack. School was canceled for the second time for the Welches primary and middle schools due to road conditions.
Daytime warming should take care of some of the ice today.

Heading back to our normal fall weather will be a great relief for many. This snow opened Mt. Hood Meadows this weekend and of course, Timberline, with the Palmer ski lift, is really rocking for skiers already!

Smoke Covers Welches From the 36 Pit Fire in Estacada
Wednesday, September 17, 2014
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!
