Mt Hood Sales for June 2014 are In

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

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:

Record breaking sales for the month of May bring us into the strongest selling season of the year. We have 21 closed sales for the month bringing the strongest totals in many years. Pending sales are up 100% compared to May 2013. Pent up demand, screaming great interest rates and plenty of inventory is pushing sales numbers up every month.

The RMLS multiple listing service recent published the total sale numbers for February 2014 and they are rolling in at 15! Considering it's winter time with a mix of crazy freezing weather and recent monsoons, 15 sales is exceptional for this time of year. Pending sales are up 400% compared to February 2013. This should be a great year for mountain sales if we maintain this pace.

Flood Insuarnce Update

by Liz Warren

The house just voted on a bill 306-91 to approve the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act with amendments.

The bill would repeal FEMA's ability to raise rates and use new flood maps. It will also cap rates at a max 18% per year. Refunds would be given to flood insurers who were unaware of the new increases without warning. The Senate must pass the amendment before the bill would become law. 

Read the Homeowner's Flood Insurance Affordability Act Fact Sheet from NAR This will get you up to speed on what this act means to anyone in a flood area.
