Price Reductions on Mt. Hood
Saturday, August 28, 2010
As the media reports on the slowing sales numbers in July many mountain property owners took this as a sign to drop their prices. At least 15% of homes currently for sale in Government Camp, Welches, Brightwood and Rhododendron dropped their prices in the past two weeks. That's around 20 detached homes and lot prices for 5 properties also adjusted.
Perhaps one of these properties were on your list. Here they are:

HAMP numbers
Saturday, August 21, 2010
What is HAMP? Home Affordable Modificaiton Program This government program helps homeowners get their payments modified so they can stay in their homes.
This chart shows the numbers of modifications currently in process.
Some of the dept to income ratios are shocking for modifications. The modification program does not work for many and after you see the numbers you'll know why. The median front end, or housing dept to income ratio was 44.8% of the income but combined with total debt, the median dept to income ratio was 79.7%. Yes, nearly 80% of the income of the borrower went to servicing debt.
After the HAMP modification, that total debt to income for all debts went to 63.5%. That is a huge amount of debt even after modification. This explains why there are still failures and drop outs after the modifications take place and why it has not been the big success the government had hoped for. It also shows why banks have not been quick to act in completing this program since they often end up foreclosing on the property any way.

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:
"If you're gonna go, go like hell.
If your mind's not made up,
don't use your spurs."
If your mind's not made up,
don't use your spurs."
From "Don't Squat With Your Spurs On!"
("A Cowboy's Guide to Life" by Texas Bix Bender)
("A Cowboy's Guide to Life" by Texas Bix Bender)
LIVE WITH PASSION!
When you're ready to ride, don't wear your Nikes. Put on your boots and spurs, and let your horse know you mean to ride hard. Then - ride with passion.
How many times have you thought of achieving a dream - only to spend more time in the dreaming and planning than in the doing? No problem - we all do it from time to time. The old nemesis - fear of failure and the unknown - haunts all of us occasionally, keeping us from reaching our objective.
Think back to the last time you took action with a burning passion! Were you competing for a gold medal, fighting for your life under adverse circumstances, or vying for the heart of your beloved? Something was motivating you to the limit, and you refused to quit.
So, what's your passion right now - today? Maybe it's an education, a new career, getting in shape, having more freedom, money & status, or closer family ties. Whatever your desired direction in life, put on your spurs, mount your horse, and hit the trail! There's no greater joy in life than putting everything you've got into an achievement - and then realizing you've overcome all the obstacles.
Ride hard, buckaroo!
