Government Camp Foreclosures

Monday, May 9, 2011
by Liz Warren

One of the biggest selling properties in Government Camp over the past two years have been the Collins Lake Condo Units. Recent sales have dropped to levels 10% to 20% above their original offering prices from 2004! Most of those sales were foreclosures.

Here are two  foreclosures on the market today at Collins Lake:

Government Camp foreclosures

Today's foreclosures typically represent a 30-40% discount off today's current market value. If you are a skier and are looking for an affordable place to park your head during ski season, this might be the ticket. Government Camp's location at the base of Mt. Hood makes for quick access to Ski Bowl, Timberline and Mt. Hood Meadows with a short drive on weekends!

Government Camp Real Estate-A Buyer's Market

Monday, February 14, 2011
by Liz Warren

The Government Camp real estate market is a total buyer's market. Here are statistics from First American Title for the past week's round up. Extended marketing times of over 400 days for most price ranges indicate a need for movement downward to sell. The most plentiful of choices come at Collin's Lake where condos are offered in the low $200,000 range. Although many of these offerings are bank foreclosures-most are located along Hwy 26 with a level of noise many buyers are not willing to accept. Difficulty in securing financing on Condo units should continue to crowd this market with additional inventory causing prices to dip further.

Collins Lake-Government Camp Sales

Thursday, November 4, 2010
by Liz Warren

It's been a dry spell for Collins Lake sales in Government Camp since January. Although the market is quite saturated with inventory, finally two units have closed in November. Both were cash sales but the prices a bit surprising.

Collins Lake Condo Sales

Both of these units were foreclosures. The one selling for $234,000 was originally sold in November of 2005 for $439,000.

Financing is difficult for units, that is, if you can find it these days. Conventional lenders are placing these units under the "condotel" umbrella.

From Wikipedia: A Condo hotel, also known as a hotel-condo or a Condotel, is a building used as both a condominium and a hotel.

Condo hotels are typically high-rise buildings developed and operated as luxury hotels, usually in major cities and resorts.[1] These hotels have condominium units which allow someone to own a full-service vacation home. When they aren’t using this home, they can leverage the marketing and management done by the hotel chain to rent and manage the condo unit as it would any other hotel room.

So it goes with Collins Lake. This might be a hard pill to swallow for unit owners but until financing loosens up, this will be the hand dealt.

U.S. Forest Service planners of the Mt. Hood/Government Camp land swap  have just held a public meeting in Portland on Tuesday to present the exchange plan and to take comments by the public. This swap of 769 acres of land owned by Mt. Hood Meadows Oregon LLC and  includes the Cooper Spur Ski area and lodge would be traded for around 120 acres of National Forest land on the South side of Mt. Hood.

Proponents of the swap include the  Hood River Valley Residents Committee who want to protect the Crystal Springs watershed that services around 25% of the Hood River Valley drinking water. Details of the discussion can be found here
