Snow Piles in to the Mt. Hood Area!

Tuesday, December 15, 2015
by Liz Warren

Great news for skiers and local winter businesses on Mt. Hood who welcome the new two and three foot dumps that landed on our slopes this past weekend! Timberline and Meadows both had tons of folks coming to lay tracks Saturday and Sunday.

Timberline saw three feet of new snow and Mt. Hood Meadows had 54 inches. Ski Bowl is opening Wednesday at 3:00 PM for night skiing. Today will see a small sliver of blue sky as the next set of storms head in and should be bringing even more of the white stuff setting up our ski areas for a great winter break for vacationers.

Check your up to date ski conditions at these areas:

Its been two years since we've had a good dump at winter break holiday season so local ski shops, restaurants and hotels are looking forward to getting a boost this December!

What sold properties closed on Mt. Hood in November 2015

Monday, December 14, 2015
by Liz Warren

Here are the fifteen sales for November 2015.


Mt. Hood real estate sales for November 2015

Mt. Hood National Forest cabin sales once again took off with four completed in November. It seems this year more cabins sold at the first half of the year, summer time slowed down and then fall picked up again. 

Five creek front and riverfront homes sold. Any waterfront properties are the top sellers in our area. Two distressed properties were closed for the month. Although rarely do we have any distressed sales on the mountain any more. One or two to creep into the market

Next month I'll have total numbers for 2015.

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for November 2015

Sunday, December 13, 2015
by Liz Warren

The multiple listing statistics just came out for Mt. Hood sales for the month of November 2015. 

Mt. Hood Real Estate sales for November 2015

November stats show 15 closed sales with the number of pending sales down 20% compared to November 2014. In December we currently have 16 pending sales so with the traditional holiday slow down I expect sales numbers to be close to the same for December's closings. 

There's no doubt 2015 has been the best year we've had for sales on Mt. Hood since the crash of 2008! Interest rates will begin to inch. The reality of low interest rates over the past seven years is going to be a major wake up call for anyone who hasn't experienced historically normal rates of 7 or 8%. 

I'm optimistic about 2016. Usually when interest rates begin to rise more buyers hit the market to take advantage of lower rates so we are expecting increased activity for 2016.

Monday, October 26, 2015
by Liz Warren

Take a look at the RMLS statistics for distressed sales over the past quarter in all areas. Bank owned sales are just down to under 6% and short sales at under 2%! So far in 2015 the Mt. Hood real estate market has seen a total of 6 bank owned and zero short sales up to this point. In 2014 that total hit the 18 with 15 bank owned and 3 short sales. The "shadow inventory" of distressed homes is shrinking by the month and heading for historic norms.

Villages at Mt. Hood Public Meeting

Sunday, July 19, 2015
by Liz Warren

The Villages at Mt. Hood Board of Directors will sponsor a public meeting to gather constructive information that will help the Mt. Hood Transportation Alliance and Clackamas County enhance the Mt. Hood Express Bus Service. We are making a very strong effort to reach out for public input, and would like your valuable input as it pertains to the Mt. Hood Express, and the service it provides to our mountain communities.

 

Please plan to attend Monday night’s meeting at 7:00 p.m.; Mt. Hood Lion’s Club; Welches, Oregon. Our vision and goals are as follows:

 

Vision

 

Enhance and sustain a transit system for the Mt. Hood and Columbia Gorge region that provides local circulation and seamless regional connections to meet current and future transportation needs of local residents and visitors to the region.

 

Goal 1: Develop financial sustainability for regional transit service.

 

Goal 2: Expand year-round travel options to enhance mobility and access to recreation areas and rural communities.

 

Goal 3: Improve transit service to relieve traffic and parking congestion and enhance safety in the Mt. Hood Corridors.

 

Goal 4: Continue to integrate schedules with regional transit services.

 

Mount Hood Transit Implementation Plan

 

Visitors travel from around the world to enjoy Mt. Hood and the surrounding forest. Most of the travel to this area by visitors is currently by private cars. The Mt. Hood Express provides bus service for communities along Highway 26, running from the City of Sandy, east to Government Camp and Timberline Lodge. This bus service provides an important connection for residents along the Highway 26 Corridor to get to work at business along the corridor or at the ski resorts, as well as access to other needed services. Clackamas County has contracted with LSC to develop a Transit Implementation Plan for the Mt. Hood Express. This plan will look at existing and future transportation needs and develop specific recommendations for service improvements and long-term funding to sustain the service.

 

Multiple opportunities will be provided for community input including public meetings, a resident and visitor survey questionnaire, and posting interim reports on this website.

 

The First community meetings will be held on the following dates at the locations listed:

 

July 20th - 7:00 p.m.

Mt. Hood Lions Club

24730 E. Woodsey Way

Welches, OR 97067

 

July 22nd - 7:00 p.m.

Mt. Hood Forest Cabins Under $160,000

Friday, July 10, 2015
by Liz Warren

If you need a great getaway from the city that's only one hour away from Portland, there can't be a better choice than a Mt. Hood National Forest cabin. They're located in Government Camp and Rhododendron mostly and the forest is filled with 550 cabins! Although they can only be used as second homes they are often a choice for many second home buyers who want an easy accessible location from Portland. 

Keep in mind there is a yearly permit fee ranging from around $1900 to $2800 to own a cabin. The lease/permit is somewhat like CC and R's in a homeowner's association with the rules of ownership. 

Here is a great selection on the market today for under $160,000. Call or email for details on any of these properties or more information on how leased land works.
