January 2017 Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales
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.
