November Real Estate Sales for Mt. Hood area in 2017
Friday, December 15, 2017
Mt. Hood sale numbers have surged this year and the minimal inventory has caused prices to continue to climb. As seen with this November 2017 report from multiple listing, compared to 2016 our prices have climbed nearly 19% over last year. The average sales price has bumped up to $309,400!
Oregon seems to be fairing very well in the scheme of things. Take a look at this map showing price appreciation of the whole state over the past year compared to the rest of the country. There's nearly a 9% difference from last year!
Here's another interesting map of home affordability, or should I say unaffordable as compared to late 1990's. Oregon ranks right up there with California, Hawaii, and Washington DC. This shows how much Oregon's prices have gone up recently. It actually shows that the state was probably at dirt cheap prices in late 1990 but we've really escalated over the past two decades!
Mt. Hood Foxglove One Most Interesting Hole
Thursday, December 14, 2017
The Oregon Golf Association recently added the Foxglove fairway hole number one as one of the most interesting holes of Oregon gold courses. The course, located in Welches at the Resort at the Mountain, is one of three including Pinecone and Thistle.
The tee box sits facing West with the scenic Salmon River which wraps around on the left of the fairway, a steep hill on the right, and smack dab in the middle a monolithic boulder spit from Mt. Hood's eruption in the late 1700's. It's always a challenge for golfers to get over it, let alone around it!
The Mountain View Golf Course just down the road in Boring also made the list with hole number twelve, a par three, shooting high above a majorly steep canyon to the green below.
I particularly enjoy a drink and a bite after golfing at Mountain View at the Leaderboard Restaurant where you can sit out side and take in a picture perfect view of Mt. Hood while watching golfers teeing off on the first hole.
Speaking of golf courses, if you are looking for a home or Condo around the Resort at the Mountain, here is the place to find one:

October Mt. Hood Sales Top 26 for the Month
Sunday, November 19, 2017
Fall sales are plugging along at a steady pace following the summer of activity. October saw 26 sales closings which likely were a result of August and September's activities. Each new listing that hits the market sees a flurry of activity sometimes resulting in multiple offers.
Recent RMLS statistics show a decline of nearly 26% comparing October 2016 to October 2017 and a total of a 15% decline year to date. This decline can easily be explained by a lack of inventory in the market. Less homes to buy, less sales.
Lets take a look at pricing points available in the November market for single family detached homes for sale. There are 49 available properties. About 25% of our current inventory is under $300,000! This is why people believe the market is slowing but not really, it's because of a lack of inventory.

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:
"There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who don't."
~ Gloria Steinem
OPPOSITES DETRACT!
Don't you just love the irony of today's quote? Steinem implies that simply separating people into two categories is too simplistic, but at the same time, she uses that very same technique to convey her meaning!
Learning what something is by defining what it is not has been an age-long practice in education. It's hard to understand light without knowing darkness. How could we appreciate quiet without suffering through loud and constant noise?
While dichotomies or contradictions help us in our understanding, it's very dangerous to define everything we experience in this way, that it's simply one way or the other. Is every declaration either true or false? If so, what do you make of the next two sentences?
The following statement is true. The preceding statement is false!
Okay, all philosophical joking aside, it's easier to categorize the world into "is" and "is not," but we also realize that there are "shades of grey" between the black and the white. If we always expect people to act in just one of two ways, we're in for some nasty surprises.
This world cannot be divided into two kinds of people, no matter how simply you look at it. Can we say that if you make war, you must hate peace? Or that if you love peace, you must not make war? This isn't politicizing - it's a simple observation that we all have within us the capacity for understanding and appreciating not both sides of a situation, but ALL sides.
By avoiding generalizations that reduce everything said or done into good or bad, we open ourselves up to varieties of interpretation that allow us to make truly educated decisions. Sure, it's more complicated and challenging that way, but it keeps us from morphing into the very stereotypes we’re trying to avoid. Vive la difference!
