Government Camp Condo Sales

Saturday, February 14, 2015
by Liz Warren

2014 was the year of the Condo sales in Government Camp. Condo sales hit a total of 27 last year and 23 of those were in Government Camp. The majority sold in Collins Lake, a very popular facility with pools, hot tubs, hiking trails and easy access to Highway 26 for a quick trip to the slopes. There are six Collins Lake Condos for sale today. If Government Camp isn't the landing spot for you, several units in Welches near the Resort at the Mountain might serve your needs. 

Grand Lodges was also a hit with buyers. Five units changed hands in 2014. These luxury units are just before Collins Lake on the loop with underground parking and concierge services. Nearly all units overlook Collins Lake making a very scenic setting from the decks. Owners are also able to rent their units out through the Collins Lake office next door too. 

If you are thinking about purchasing either one, Collins Lake or Grand Lodges, taking a test drive with a rental is a great option for buyers for these units and easily done through the Collins Lake rental office.

  Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for December 2015

The multiple listing service, commonly called RMLS, has posted the sales for December 2014. December was roaring through with seventeen sales closed and an average sales price of $234,600! From all appearances, inventory that has been on the market is finally clearing out with 203 average days on market. 

Inventories are slim right now. All indications are that this year will be one of the best for sales in the past seven years as the economy picks up pace and unemployment is down. The winter activity has been the greatest I've ever seen. Buyers are out looking and our warm winter has provided exceptional access for showings. We're off to a great start this January.

by Liz Warren

Many purchasers in the Mt. Hood area are looking for a great waterfront home that would also have rental income to supplement their use. These two waterfront homes fit the mold if you're looking for this type of property. 

two waterfront homes in Mt. Hood that would be good vacation rentals

Both properties are located on the Sandy River. The first home on Barlow Trail Road is currently a vacation rental through Mt. Hood Rentals, one of the main property managers in our area. 

The second home is not currently in a rental pool but has a secluded location and a perfect setting for a vacation rental! It's rock solidly built and has two decks with great views of the river. 

For further information on either of these homes, give me a call or shoot me an email!

Mt Hood Sales for June 2014 are In

Monday, July 14, 2014
by Liz Warren

The recent numbers are in from RMLS for June 2014 on Mt. Hood. Here is the recently released chart of sales and information for the Mt. Hood area. 

Mt. Hood real estate sales for June 2014

 

June numbers are standing strong with 20 closed transactions for the month! A surprise is that pending sales in June compared to the year before at this time were down nearly 23% this month. Another surprise is the marketing time of 204 days for the properties which closed this month. Once again we are flushing out inventory and working on getting on a normal market. Different pricing points have much better inventory levels which will cause prices to stabilize and appreciate than others.

Timberline Rim Home Sales are Up in 2014

Monday, June 30, 2014
by Liz Warren

One of the more popular areas in the Mt. Hood area is Timberline Rim a subdivision that wraps around the Sandy River in Rhododendron and Brightwood. After going through many foreclosures after the last couple of years, the area has stabilized and equities increased allowing the foreclosures to diminish to a trickle and owners who have been waiting to sell have seized their opportunities. The low HOA of $200 per year make Timberline Rim an attractive alternative to other options in the area. Amenities include a swimming pool open during summer months, tennis court, hoops for basketball, a lodge for meetings and movies, foosball table and pool table too. Common areas bring access to all residents for easy access to the Sandy River. 

The proximity to hiking in the Mt. Hood National Forest, mountain biking at the Sandy Basin Park located just down the road are excellent easy access recreational opportunities. Near by is a 27 hole golf course at the Resort at the Mountain and don't forget year round skiing about a half hour away at Timberline Lodge!

Twelve sales since the beginning of the year in Timberline Rim are the most we have seen in years. Buyers are purchasing full time homes and recreational homes. Here are the most recent sales:
