Hit the coffee below for today's Monday morning inspiration from Mt. Hood.
The numbers are in for Mt. Hood sales for December 2011. A rousing 12 total sales for the month making the fourth quarter of 2011 (33 sales!) one of the largest in number of sales for many years. Lets take a look at what sold in December.
BIGGEST NEWS is that Condo sales ruled the roost. Five units closed in December! Four of these condos were foreclosures giving big savings to buyers in the market. Two condos at the Fairway Estates at the Resort at the Mountain in Welches closed.
Government Camp had some serious action this month with one partial ownership (the first property listed below) sale, one Collins Lake condo at the lowest price we've seen yet at $159,500. There was an unbelievable foreclosure price of $319,000 at the the luxury Grand Lodges complex.
Real estate agents are optimistic with the number of recent sales for the fourth quarter of 2011 bringing a total of 33 sales! The entire year produced 105 sales on the mountain stretching from Government Camp all the way down to Brightwood. Twenty eight percent of sales this year were distressed. The average sales price has decreased by 7.2% from 2010.
This new Golden Poles Condo has just hit the market. Golden Poles makes an easy walk over to Ski Bowl East for skiing and a short walk to downtown Government Camp. This is a two bedroom, two bath unit in the recently renovated Golden Poles Complex. The condo is completely furnished!
