Secluded Zig Zag Riverfront Cabin

Saturday, July 22, 2017
by Liz Warren

Location, Location, Location! This is one of the most secluded cabins I've seen in the Mt. Hood National Forest near Government Camp. The owners are skiers and have enjoyed their cabin for many years. Their kids love taking off for many mountain biking trails right from their cabin!

An open floor plan in the living room joins the living room and dining area. A slider takes you out the door to the woods and a path down to the river. Evening campfires along the river are great too! Full kitchen and a deck off the master bedroom is just some of the features. Only 10 minutes to the slopes in Government Camp.

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for May 2017

Sunday, June 18, 2017
by Liz Warren

Today's Mt. Hood real estate market has small inventory and rising prices. Here is the info direct from RMLS for the month of May. Only 44 active listings for sale. Some properties are trickling in for the summer season. Only eight homes closed for the month and an escalating average sales price has climbed substantially from the $200,000 range. Entry level homes are nearly impossible to find with multiple offers as soon as they hit the market. Shortened marketing days show the high demand in this seller's market. The sub $300,000 market has been depleted showing the 17% average sales price change in the last row. Keep in mind, these stats are based on a very small market with minimal inventory.

Pending Sales Plummet Due to Low Inventory on Mt. Hood

Thursday, May 18, 2017
by Liz Warren

Numbers are out for April from RMLS for the Mt. Hood area. Minimal inventory has caused pending sales to plummet compared to last year at this time. Although common for the Portland metro area, many properties that hit the market have multiple offers and bidding wars. Who knows what will happen over the summer. Stats below shows an average 12% price change from year to date. With little inventory this number tends to be skewed compared to other areas but we expect prices to rise due to supply and demand. 

At the time of this report we had 42 active listings but currently on 26 properties are for sale.

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for February 2017

Monday, March 27, 2017
by Liz Warren

February sales on the mountain hit 15 with six of those properties in Government Camp. Four of the Government Camp sales were for condos. This amazing ski season has totally revived the Condo market in Government Camp after a drought of poor snow seasons. 

 

Two Mt Hood National Forest cabins closed and the inventory of cabins is still sadly lacking at this time. Perhaps sellers are waiting for summer to roll around after this challenging winter of snow decreasing accessibility.

 

Take away the condo market and we only have 32 single family homes for sale today. Just over a third of those homes are in the Government Camp area which brings about 19 homes available in the higher populated Welches, Rhododendron and Brightwood area. 

 

The pervasive housing crunch in Portland and our area has created a problem for renters and buyers seeking their first home as prices continue to edge upward due to limited supply. 

 

When 22% of your available homes for sale are under $300,000 you know your choices are limited and affordable housing is quickly out the door. 

 

Mt. Hood inventory is under a three month supply creating a sellers market from top to bottom. 

 

Here are February sales:

Mt. Hood February Real Estate Sales

Saturday, March 18, 2017
by Liz Warren

Now that we are heading into spring after the pretty harsh winter of snow and storms, limbs are getting picked up, yards are looking better and trees are getting trimmed. The last March snow storm was a surprise for many but the mountain is getting cleaned up! 

February sales that closed were mostly a result of transactions put together in 2016 with a total of 16 residential sales.

Inventory is super low right now. We only have 46 homes currently on the market and 11 of those properties are under $300,000! Price per square foot is inching up to around $200. You can see the pending sales were down 25% compared this month last year. The average sales price is now $313,000 for 2017. This should be an interesting year as we head towards summer!

January 2017 Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales

Saturday, February 25, 2017
by Liz Warren

January stats show nineteen sales closed for the mountain. The Government Camp market dominated with three Condo sales including Barlow Pass West, Edelweiss and one Collins Lake unit and three single residential units closing from $395,000 to $550,000. No doubt this winter's stellar snow amounts helped drive that market which had been slower in prior years due to poor ski conditions. 

The second largest area of sales were in Timberline Rim. Four homes closed in January. We still have many buyers looking for Timberline Rim homes due to their affordability and amenities. Homes in Timberline Rim range from around $180,000 to $400,000 and is the largest subdivision in the area. Originally offered in the late 1960's it's been a big favorite for vacation home owners and full time residents. Paved roads with sewer and water plus swimming pool in the summer and tennis court make a great neighborhood setting. 

Minimal inventory could slow sales down this year but hopefully as we near spring things will pick up and satisfy the demand.

The multiple listing statistics are out for January 2017. Inventory is unbelievably low right now with only 45 active listings. Likely, most of the eighteen sales for the month were cumulative from October, November and December pending sales. You can tell inventory is low with the average sales price climbing to $307,600.

Homes under $300,000 are in highest demand frequently having multiple offers on the table. Buyers are out to find their dream home before interest rates start to move up this year cutting into affordability. Here are the projections from MBA, NAR and Fannie Mae.

Mortgage Rates predicted for 2017

Sellers should consider getting their homes on the market today with minimal competition right now. As we head towards spring, the majority of sellers will place their home on the market in April, May and June creating more competition!
