Mt. Hood Sales Numbers for July 2011

by Liz Warren

Sales numbers are in for the Mt. Hood real estate sales for July 2011. A flurry of activity is occurring in August so sales numbers should be up into September and October as pending sales get to closing. The late summer weather may have compressed activity into a short time frame. Time will tell.

Eleven sales in Government Camp, Welches, Brightwood and Rhododendron for the month of July brought in the greatest numbers of this year.

The break down in numbers:

Six foreclosures or short sales

One forest service cabin

Five creek or riverfront sales

This graphic comes from NAR, the National Association of Realtors. It shows how the Portland-Vancouver metro area compares to last year at this time. You can see the number of listings available has declined nearly 30% compared to 2010. Could this mean sellers are waiting out this market?

This is not true for the Mt. Hood area market in Brightwood, Welches, Rhododendron, and Government Camp. This market is flush with homes, cabins and condos and a buyer's dream. Rates have never been this low coupled with a fantastic selection of properties, it's a perfect time to purchase!

Mt. Hood Area Sales for June 2011

June was pretty amazing compared to the first five months of the year in monthly sales. Government Camp, Welches, Brightwood and Rhododendron hit a whopping eleven sales for June. Residential sales totaled 39 for the year with the addition of these 11. That total is no record breaker of course and here's hoping better weather and more buyers come out and take advantage of this inventory the second half of the year.

Here are the June sales:

3 foreclosures

2 forest service cabins

1 Condo

1 Timberline Rim home

Summer has finally arrived and many sellers have placed their properties on the market for the prime summer season. Incredible deals are available with many motivated sellers. It's the perfect time to purchase while interest rates are low making homes more affordable. This could be a once in a generation opportunity according to CBS Money Watch.

From the numbers above you can see year to date, pending sales are down nearly 24% from the year before. This makes for a very competitive marketplace for sellers. Buyers can pick and choose to their hearts content. It's the perfect time to buy while rates and down and costs are low for buyers. Even if prices go down further, this is the best time to purchase while the cost of borrowing is low.

The numbers are in for the month of May 2011 for all Mt. Hood sales. We had a total of four properties close last month. Two were foreclosures. News sources, and NAR have told us sales were down all across the US in April and May's results too are weak. They are particularly down when compared to last year's spring when the first time home buyer credit was winding down.

Here are the sales. The second and third sales are foreclosures.

Mt. Hood Market Action for April 2011

by Liz Warren

The multiple listing service has just come out with the market stats year to date for area 153 comprised of Government Camp, Welches, Rhododendron, and Brightwood. Pending sales were down nearly 50% compared to this same month last year. Year to date we are down just over 25%. Sales might be down due to the artificial stimulus of the first time home buyer credit from last year. This pushed many buyers forward into the year creating a void of buying over the summer months.

Oddly enough I would think buyers would be rushing in to take advantage of these interest rates and the high level of selection currently available on the market.
