March Sales Numbers are in for the Mountain Area

by Liz Warren

Market statistics are in from multiple listing service for area 153 which covers Government Camp, Welches, Rhdodendron and Brightwood. March was a very active month for closed sales totaling 12 sales. Fifty percent of those sales were foreclosures. Take a look at the numbers from NAR. In February the national percentage of distressed sales was hovering at 34%. As the backlog of foreclosures enter the market this year it's likely the national number will go back up towards 40%. Mountain sales for the month are listed below this graph.

Distressed sales Nationally

Twelve sales. Five were cash and two purchases were USDA loans. This would be homes for primary home use and income limits to qualify for this type of loan.

If you've been following the CFA (Cabin Fee Act) for the National Forest cabins on Mt. Hood, you would be interested to know that a cabin owner, Doug Gann, had an opportunity to present a testimonial before Congress  yesterday. He did a great job in summing up the concerns and arguments for the Act.

I'll keep you posted with any news on CFA.
