Mt. Hood Market Stats for February 2020

Wednesday, March 25, 2020
by Liz Warren

February saw nine sales close for the month. I expect March sales to be fairly around that same number. Lack of inventory has still kept a lid on the numbers due to lack of choices for the buyers. February had only 36 properties for sale and that was with 15 new listings. 

The average sales price hit $342,700 with a marketing time averaging 123 days. This could be because of the pricing point in our area these days. As of today, two thirds of active listings on the market are greater than $300,000!

The current pause in the market should be interesting. As we slowly head towards the spring market we should see listings pick up the pace. I expect the second quarter to show few sales as a result of today's slow down but hopefully by summer we will crawl our way out of this.

May 2018 Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales

Monday, June 18, 2018
by Liz Warren

An active spring brought nineteen sales on the mountain. May sales had a huge variety. Noteworthy were three sales with acreage. One was a fixer upper on 11 acres selling at $420,000. Another was a 3,000 square foot log home on 20 acres at $665,000. Twenty acres on the mountain anywhere is a very rare commodity.

Mt. Hood March Sales for 2018

Tuesday, April 24, 2018
by Liz Warren

Low inventory has reduced our monthly sales for March. With only 44 homes and condos currently available for sale as active there is not a lot of choices for buyers in this market. Many buyers are frustrated with the current status of the process with multiple offers on nearly every high demand home that hits the market. It's frustrating, but active buyers in this market are up against the odds. We have only 2.7 months of inventory for sale which is a total seller's market. Only eleven sales closed in March. See below.

Mt. Hood Market Stats for March 2018

Sunday, April 15, 2018
by Liz Warren

Mt. Hood Sales numbers for March have been released from RMLS. March sales hit a total of eleven. Average sales price of $360,800 for the month of March! This reflects the lack of inventory we have on the market. New listings are starting to emerge but not many on the lower end of the pricing scale. The break down of active single family homes falls this way:

A third of homes are under $300,000

A third of homes are $300,000-$400,000

A third of homes are over $400,000

There's ten Condo units currently for sale with the majority up in Government Camp.

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for May 2017

Sunday, June 18, 2017
by Liz Warren

Today's Mt. Hood real estate market has small inventory and rising prices. Here is the info direct from RMLS for the month of May. Only 44 active listings for sale. Some properties are trickling in for the summer season. Only eight homes closed for the month and an escalating average sales price has climbed substantially from the $200,000 range. Entry level homes are nearly impossible to find with multiple offers as soon as they hit the market. Shortened marketing days show the high demand in this seller's market. The sub $300,000 market has been depleted showing the 17% average sales price change in the last row. Keep in mind, these stats are based on a very small market with minimal inventory.

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for February 2017

Monday, March 27, 2017
by Liz Warren

February sales on the mountain hit 15 with six of those properties in Government Camp. Four of the Government Camp sales were for condos. This amazing ski season has totally revived the Condo market in Government Camp after a drought of poor snow seasons. 

 

Two Mt Hood National Forest cabins closed and the inventory of cabins is still sadly lacking at this time. Perhaps sellers are waiting for summer to roll around after this challenging winter of snow decreasing accessibility.

 

Take away the condo market and we only have 32 single family homes for sale today. Just over a third of those homes are in the Government Camp area which brings about 19 homes available in the higher populated Welches, Rhododendron and Brightwood area. 

 

The pervasive housing crunch in Portland and our area has created a problem for renters and buyers seeking their first home as prices continue to edge upward due to limited supply. 

 

When 22% of your available homes for sale are under $300,000 you know your choices are limited and affordable housing is quickly out the door. 

 

Mt. Hood inventory is under a three month supply creating a sellers market from top to bottom. 

 

Here are February sales:

January 2017 Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales

Saturday, February 25, 2017
by Liz Warren

January stats show nineteen sales closed for the mountain. The Government Camp market dominated with three Condo sales including Barlow Pass West, Edelweiss and one Collins Lake unit and three single residential units closing from $395,000 to $550,000. No doubt this winter's stellar snow amounts helped drive that market which had been slower in prior years due to poor ski conditions. 

The second largest area of sales were in Timberline Rim. Four homes closed in January. We still have many buyers looking for Timberline Rim homes due to their affordability and amenities. Homes in Timberline Rim range from around $180,000 to $400,000 and is the largest subdivision in the area. Originally offered in the late 1960's it's been a big favorite for vacation home owners and full time residents. Paved roads with sewer and water plus swimming pool in the summer and tennis court make a great neighborhood setting. 

Minimal inventory could slow sales down this year but hopefully as we near spring things will pick up and satisfy the demand.

Mt. Hood Real Estate Sales for December 2016

Saturday, January 28, 2017
by Liz Warren

December sales on Mt. Hood totaled 18. When comparing December 2015 pending statistics, to December 2016, the pending sales for Dec/2016 were down 23% compared to Dec/2015 I know in our area much of that difference could be weather related with less mobility from snow on the mountain but in Portland metro too. The same will likely be true of January this year. 

 Lets take a look at 2016 though and see what a great year it was for mountain sales! The days on market shortened to 54. Year to date pending sales were up nearly 11% from 2015. This year we saw 212 residential sales close plus 34 parcels and lots. Land sales have picked up the most we've seen in years! The average selling price hit $257,300 for 2016.
