The close of 2015 produced 21 closed sales for the month. Surprisingly, three of those sales were bank owned properties. The mountain had 13 bank owned properties sell in 2015 which was down from 16 for 2014. Three Timberline Rim properties, a popular subdivision along the Sandy River, changed hands. 

Inventory is down in all pricing points right now and many sellers are getting their properties ready for the 2016. State regulations and lender financing requirements make preparation a must to get a property prepared to go on the market. Getting any repairs completed prior to going on the market is a great idea because finding a contractor during summer months is nearly impossible causing delays for closing. 

Here are the 21 sales that closed in December:
