November Real Estate Sales for Mt. Hood area in 2017
Mt. Hood sale numbers have surged this year and the minimal inventory has caused prices to continue to climb. As seen with this November 2017 report from multiple listing, compared to 2016 our prices have climbed nearly 19% over last year. The average sales price has bumped up to $309,400!
Oregon seems to be fairing very well in the scheme of things. Take a look at this map showing price appreciation of the whole state over the past year compared to the rest of the country. There's nearly a 9% difference from last year!
Here's another interesting map of home affordability, or should I say unaffordable as compared to late 1990's. Oregon ranks right up there with California, Hawaii, and Washington DC. This shows how much Oregon's prices have gone up recently. It actually shows that the state was probably at dirt cheap prices in late 1990 but we've really escalated over the past two decades!
Camp Creek Ski Cabin
Skiers, you'll love this location along Camp Creek close to Government Camp! Spacious three bedroom cabin with over 1200 square feet of living space! Soaring ceilings and a floor to ceiling rock fireplace for cozy fires after a day on the slopes.
This cabin is packed with wood from wood floors, wood walls and wood ceilings! The living room is huge and the perfect gathering place for the ski team. Two private bedrooms and one spacious loft over the living room for more folks.
Only steps down to a park like setting on Camp Creek. Take a dip in the summer time.
The slopes are only about seven minutes away from this property so no sitting in traffic 24/7 trying to get to the hill on time! Asking $299,950
Mt Hood National Forest Project Applications
If you are a cabin owner in the Mt. Hood National Forest, please be aware that projects to your cabin must be approved ahead of time. Here is a recent announcement from the Mt. Hood National Forest Homeowner's Association:
2018 Cabin Projects: If projects are slated for 2018, such as a new roof, window or deck replacement, repainting or staining, owners were advised to submit their request(s) to the Forest Service between August 15 and November 15, 2017, for approval for next year.
Mt. Hood Summer Sales Boom!
Mt. Hood summer sales boomed with 20 closed sales for the month of August! Believe it or not there were a few sales under $100,000 which is nearly unheard of these days.
Mt. Hood National forest service cabins dominated the closings with seven sales! One cabin broke all sale records for a price of $337,000! Cabins maintain their popularity on the mountain for their uniqueness and pristine settings which can't be matched by any other properties in the area.
On another note, Timberline Rim prices are escalating nicely. There's a lack of inventory and with the Rim having a more affordable pricing point, many folks are opting to purchase here for full time living and as a vacation spot.
Listed below are the 20 sales for August 2017.

To prepare for gridlock on Highway 26, Hoodland Fire District is implementing the use of two (2) BMW adventure sport motorcycles staffed with a Paramedic and EMT to respond to emergency incidents ahead of larger fire engines. The two motorcycles were rented from Cascade Back Road Adventures and Rentals out of Wahkiacus, Washington. The "motor-medic" crews will provide advanced medical care as well as scene management or landing zone support and will be equipped with medical, traffic control and landing zone equipment. The Fire District is also utilizing their side-by-side ATV out of the Government Camp substation to reach visitors camping on National Forest lands around the Government Camp area.
Hoodland Fire District would like to remind Fire District residents to be prepared for the Eclipse that will occur this Monday, August 21. Residents are asked to take some proactive measures to minimize the impact. Use common sense. Do not travel over the weekend and especially Monday if you do not have to. If it is necessary, allow yourself plenty of extra time to get to your destination. Remember first responders may also have trouble traveling to calls for service due to roadway congestion; however, there may be some delays in response time.
June Sales Showed Average Mt. Hood Real Estate Prices Surges to $343,300
Check out the June sales statistics from RMLS! The average price of the 14 sales reached $343,300 with year to date average sales price hitting $312,200. These numbers tell the tale of less inventory and rising prices on the mountain.
As of today there are 66 properties for sale with 26 of those over $400,000. Twelve properties are under $200,000 with several in parks, which have rental fees or on leased land in the Mt. Hood National Forest. June saw 32 new listings hit the market and for July there's been a steady stream of new listings.
The rainy spring really delayed sellers getting their properties ready for market. With the shortage of contractors, landscapers, and general services on the mountain getting work done has been a real challenge bringing late comers to the summer market.
Secluded Zig Zag Riverfront Cabin
Location, Location, Location! This is one of the most secluded cabins I've seen in the Mt. Hood National Forest near Government Camp. The owners are skiers and have enjoyed their cabin for many years. Their kids love taking off for many mountain biking trails right from their cabin!
Tons of room for friends and family in this three bedroom, one bath cabin with over 1200 square feet of living space. Two private bedrooms and one large loft over the bedroom is great for kids. An open floor plan in the living room joins the living room and dining area. A slider takes you out the door to the woods and a path down to the river. Evening campfires along the river are great too! Full kitchen and a deck off the master bedroom is just some of the features. Only 10 minutes to the slopes in Government Camp. It won't last long! Asking $219,950
